Hi,
I'm selling my spare EVO to a friend of mine and I want it to be as close to stock as I can get it. I'm currently running the MIUI rom which is neat... but terrible as far as features go. Market links rarely work which is a huge problem.
Obviously, if there is a rom that increases battery life and speeds with a stable kernel, that would be fine. But I don't want to have Cyanogen or MUIU on this when giving it to a friend.
Thanks!
Fresh 3.3.0.1
How about the stock rom?

Well that's fine... I just know there are so many other roms that may offer a few added benefits. Obviously I want the EVO to have the best experience possible, but I want stuff like 4G to work too. I hyped up android quite a bit to convince my friend not to get an iPhone
+1 for stock rom.
Throw 3.29 on, root with unrevoked, remove bloat and install must use root apps (wireless tether, titanium, root explorer, etc...)
Show him how to customize and let him tinker after he familiarizes himself with aOS
As much as I love the dev community, I would not install a custom rom to anyone just starting out on android - because of the issues with features not working and bugs. You're opening yourself up being an on call tech support

KingXKlick rom is pretty close to stock rom IMO and very stable as well.
Ava,damage and fresh are all great stock rom, it's a matter of personal choice once you try them out...

Mynn's has a bone stock rom...not the warm one tho...
I have tried several stock find and the one by joey krim is awesome.
If you are already rooted, you can get the rooted stock rom.
What's the best mytouch 4g rom right now? Ive tried all the obvious ones; iced, cyanogen, muiu, hd sense. Just wondered if there was something else out there, something better, or different. Getting a little bored with the obvious, like to test new things.
Any thoughts?

think your only option would be to wait until the devs get honeycomb or liquid metal going for our phone
Ice is good~~Without the sound of Camara so you can do some evil things~

I digging it too. Had to switch the font, but otherwise, TB is hella responsive. We'll see how the battery life is after a full drain and recharge.
IMO Its all about preference. You gotta ask yourself if y like stock android or sense (among other overlays)
Personally. I havent experienced a rom smoother than Ice Glacier yet. I was surprised since CM7 was less than half the size but smoothness was way behind Ice. IMO Sense roms are more optimized for our chipsets since thats what HTC works on most so im Sense all the way
It really is all personal preference. Especially with a phone like this with so many options the differences in performance are going to be nominal. I personally love CM so that's what I am running. There are people that love sense and there are ROMs out there for that. A better thread for you would have been things you are looking for and we could suggest the best ROM suited for your needs.
is it me or has rom production almost come to a halt. i mean with GB ready to go whats the deal? or are all the devs working on HC and done with GB

Well as you know Sense based rom specially IG is not actually full rom as it just modified and comparing to current CM7(AOSP2.3.X:GB) its 1/3rd of the port size. But as IG heavily depends on Sense based framework it will be little smoother but you can make CM7 smooth also IDK what people talking about it lags as if I even run at 368mhz(max)/245(min)/ondemand (gov) I get NO lag.

Thats the beauty of AOSP and we are thankful so who cares what Google is doing maybe by next year HTC will port Sense based on 2.3 and we just got AOSP2.3.3 port last night on CM7NB11.
my fave so far is jaywans nexus s gingerbread rom. it's pretty smooth and everything works. I wanted to try his thunderbolt port but I kinda got tired of sense
is CM7NB11 in rom manager??

Last I heard the CM updater for Rom Manager Premium wasnt updating for some reason but it could be fixed by now. That was yesterday. Unfortunatly I only have the free version and it only allows for DL of CM7 RC1 so i cant confirm if the other is working again.
Lol that's what he was talking about? How hard is it to grab the current build from CM repository, it takes just 1 sec. I have cURL.d setup on my server it grabs it automatically within 1min as I set the eCrawler auto updated every min.

I just finished an update for it taking it from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 is fast smooth and great on battery. I sent it to royal night so he can put his touches on it so i will be ready real soon.
Really depends on how you want to style your phone. Do you like Sense? Do you want a vanilla flavored rom?
I love CM7.

+1 / with carlos2384 ... Jaywan's Nexus S is hands down my favorite ROM so far on this device. Jaywan - udaman! I'm pumped about v2.2 for Nexus S !!
...I did just flash the new Liquid Metal port (RoyalLiquid) and it's quiiiiiite interesting and unique....since it appears it's froyo based, I'm not sure it's gonna steal my heart long term from the Nexus S ROM but at least for now, it's REALLY nice to have options!! (especially when they're as cool as this)
Thanks again Jaywan, Royalknight6190, and TeamRoyal !
I am currently trying ThunderBolt. I like it. I came from Iced which was giving me all sorts of funny business.

Im currently testing out another phone for a friend and I dont have my mt4g to check it out... thanks tho...
Just swapped my spring and now looking to root and overclock to about 1200mhz or less if n64oid will run smooth. What is the most basic way I can go about doing this and which is the most basic rom I should use? I don't care much about all these crazy bells and whistles. I use about 20 apps and that's it.
Any help or direction would be awesome.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Glite it super light weight, fast and is stock overclocked to 1GHz n64oid runs great on my phone. I find ram is the biggest problem when I run it but since I converted to ext4 and flashed this ROM it runs great.
What you want is the safest root method. Use the method from the Wiki:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
Use the root method from the wiki. Do all your reading before you start so you can reduce the chance that you mess something up.
After that, install the custom ROM of your choice. If you want something AOSP-like then go cm7 or one of the other stock based. Most custom ROMs allow overclocking to at least 1.2ghz.

Ya I hear cm7 thrown around a lot so that's a custom rom that a ton of people use?
I have rooted 3 phones in my lifetime, 8929 att, kaiser, motorola cliq and this will be my 4th so ill read up heavily and do this Saturday night after I get everything ready. I've heard the whole g2 root is more difficult then most because of the added security to this specific device. Thx for all the help guys.

Yea its harder than many, but definitely not super difficult. The guides are detailed and have rooted thousands of devices.
CM7 is the most popular custom ROM by far and is available on dozens of devices. For this reason there are lots of good features and bugs are rare in stable builds.

half you stupid posts mean nothing.
If you want speed, definitely choose a CyanogenMod-based ROM. Don't go with custom UIs like Sense or MIUI because they really slow the phone down.

I'd suggest starting with the latest CM7 stable version (7.1.0).
Hello,
XDA and other sites have broken news on new features in KitKat and one of them is that its made for wearable devices with as low as 512MB. Our Desire Z has 512MB so this will be great news Obviously our processor still lacks and GPU drivers are sticks and gum but something is better than nothing.
I was excited to hear this when I first read that about KitKat. I'm quite excited to see if anyone out there is gonna work on a ROM once everything needed to port it over is available.

The team at Cyanogenmod has commented that this wont mean a revivial of old devices since a lot of things (drivers) are needed besides RAM but needless to say in my opinion and seeing what Jelly Bean brought to the table, I think its a good sign of things to come.
Sadly, there are few really active developers on JB/Desire Z. Lets hope someone comes out with a KitKat ROM.
Speaking of KitKat, here is a lot of the stuff ripped from the Nexus 5 ROM, I personally have all of them running on CM10.1 Andromadous (I think that's the right spelling.) Hope it helps people! bit. ly /1arIQCU (via DroidLife)
I would be very surprised if Kit Kat is ported to this wonderful device. The fact that it has been ported anything beyond Ice Cream Sandwich is astonishing already, so whether they support Kit Kat or not I'd still be happy until a true hardware keyboard phone comes out.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
I would be really happy to see KitKat ported over. I mean even if it isn't I'd be happy running either CM10.1 or the Gslim 1.6 ROMs, but I hope that since KitKat supports lower ram that it helps performance wise. I'm tempted to try and get into developing roms but I'm quite a newbie when it comes to that.
i hope that somebody make it for our device
I'm a newbie as well when it comes to development, but if i have the time and someone ports 4.4 to a similar device (desire HD perhaps) then i'll definitely attempt to port 4.4 to the g2. I love my old g2, when i had to send my GS3 back do to a defect in the screen I used my g2 for 2 weeks and was still impressed with how snappy it was. So yea, I may end up attempting a 4.4 rom at some point. I'll share it here and perhaps some of the better developers can take it and improve on it

Desire Z has 384MB of RAM. Rest is allocated for video memory.
But not sure if there is a way to strip the video memory or even have dynamic vram.

Still, seeing as how smooth CM10.1 is even on our device, shows pretty good promise for KitKat in my opinion

I think it's fantastic, once in a while I'll come across a small little hiccup, but that's expected personally for a port. I would make it my daily driver but I use Gslim as my daily rom only for battery life because not around my charger much, otherwise I'd be running CM10

Oh oh oh, I understand what you meant now. I was still waking up when reading that, I'l use that as an excuse. I'm slowly teaching myself how to port over roms, I'm probably going to end up buying another secondhand G2/Desire Z as a test device so I don't bork the one that I use daily
cm11.0
I'm currently working on getting cm11.0 4.4 to build. I Had it built already and a new version of cwm recovery 6.0.2.8. The rom starts but there is no splash for the time being. Don't even have permission to view the log cat. Been working off of nevergone's stuff. What recovery version do you guys have?
For your guys proof

I'll upload the new cwm-recovery image on dropbox if anyone wants to try it out lol.

I can't get it to build anymore for some reason and I lost all my work I still have the zip but it doesn't boot. But I got

I can't post in the dev side of the xda here but where can I find the work gits for someone working on cm11.0 for this device I'm trying to get this thing to work again. Also is there a irc room for the group?
I figured the cwm version that built worked with the new set_metadata in the updater-scripts for the 4.3 and up
I would like to help with, (attempt to) coordinate, and start the development efforts for KitKat/CM11 on the G2.
I can beta test, build, and debug/reverse-engineer where needed.
I'm getting a build environment prepared, so it will be a bit until I crank out builds.
Sup guys,
Just got the G2 *AT&T* yesterday and I must say so far I'm pretty happy with it. It already had CM11 on it so i never got the chance to even test the stock OS. I just have a few questions about this device and would greatly appreciate some help...
While the screen is beautiful, what are all those dots on the screen when its off? Ive never seen this before lol (came from HTC one). Im assuming its the screen technology but any info on it?
Why the hell would LG ship out a phone with such beast specs but only have 4.2 android on it? Fail
I'm more of a pure stock android type of guy, as of now whats the best rom to use thats close to stock i.e cm etc?
I actually like the way it feels and the buttons dont bother me at all. Id say its an upgrade from the HTC one overall, only thing the one has over this is build quality. It just feels more premium.
Thanks.

I'm not sure what dots you are referring to, is it the digitizer pattern when you look at it on an angle, under direct sunlight?
Most people tend to stick with stock on this device, by the way! 4.4 is coming soon, we think.

Stock ROM on the G2 is awesome. I came from a DROID RAZR and the ROM on the G2 is so much better. I was flashing ROMs left and right on my RAZR trying to make it better, but the stock ROM on the G2 is so much more feature rich that I don't even care that I'm on 4.2 because I know CM 11 would make me lose a lot of the things that make this phone great. I'd suggest you go back to the stock ROM and give it a spin. It's not stock Android, but it's darn good.

Stock is nice. I love the Qremote. It also has a lot of bells and whistles from the S4. I think the best feature is KnockOn/Off. Now any android phone I pick up i try to tap the screen to get it to turn on LOL!. I'm using Mahdi 4.4.2 ROM and I love it for now. Im a crack flasher and I hat how much bloat is on stock and I love KK because I came from a Nexus 5.
