I have hardware version 003 with an Epson panel and I'm currently running a slightly customized version of Calkulin's EViO 3 beta: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060456

Everything works fine for me. The only real bug I've found so far is that after a few weeks I've had to clear the cache on com.htc.socialnetwork.provider because it was causing force-closes on com.htc.bgp. I don't know if this is specific to this rom, the leaked 2.3 release, or just my phone.

4G works fine, wifi is fine, bluetooth is fine, an overall good rom IMO. Might be too stock for some of the folks here. I am really not a fan of the espresso rosie bar that this uses, so I made a custom one that is IMO a slightly prettier version of the stock rosie.

Here's a post that has instructions on how to find out which type of LCD panel the EVO in question has: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12506189&postcount=13

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calvin_sy:
Ok, I've done a load of research trying to figure out the problem with no luck so I'm, asking you htc legend gurus out there for help.

- My gf's htc legend was OTA upgraded to 2.2

- I found the downgrade RUU procedure to get back to 1.31 with gold card to root the phone. DONE (still hboot 1.01)

- Installed CM7RC4 last month, no problem

- CM7 Stable 7.0 was released, didn't notice until CM7 7.0.2 was released

- Tried to install 7.0.2 and this is where i get problems

- I downloaded the zip and used rom manager to update

- does its thing, backups etc then reboots and installs the rom

- fone reboots and stays on the htc logo white screen for a while then goes black and back to the htc logo white screen (not the android skateboarding across the screen cm7 animation), then it goes to the black screen with the phone and red exclamation mark

- so i volume up + power, and reboot system now.. same thing back to same exclamation mark

- thought it was a corrupt zip so i download again, same result

- downloaded it again and put it on the sd card

- booted to the stock recovery, fake flash cwm update.zip recovery and manually updated by selecting the zip, SAME RESULT red exclamation mark

- gave up on 7.0.2 and downloaded 7.0 and that worked!

- installed fine and when i rebooted it went to the CM7 animation! and have a fully working phone and rom

- wasted enough time and now that it works i didn't bother with 7.0.2

- now 7.0.3 was released so i downloaded that, and tried to update it

- SAME RESULT with the red exclamation mark.

I'm following the same process for 7.0.3 as I did for 7.0. What am i missing here? Is it gold card related?

I've got a htc desire myself, rooted with miui and I was around with the htc dream/g1 rooting updating cm roms - I do have some knowledge, but this one has me stumped!

Please help, its very frustrating. Thanks in advance!
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
If you are using Clockwork rom manager its easy...boot into recovery (either adb reboot recovery or power on holding vol down,choose recovery,when in recovery press up + power select install update.zip and then should be in clockworkmod.......

Afer that choose install zip from sdcard,clockworkmod (folder) then flick throug htill you find the CM7 you want and flash it!

Other than that you are doing a full wipe?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calvin_sy:
yup, performed those exact steps. in various combinations via adb without adb, via rom manager via fastboot all ends in the same result

i've tried no wipe, same result

i've tried partial wipe (wipe cache and dalvik), same result

i've tried full factory wipe/reset, same result

always have to nandroid restore my 7.0 install. i really dont want to go through the whole rooting process again.

FYI cos of hboot 1.01 mine is S-ON so the phone doesn't boot direct into cwm recovery.. i have to go to stock recovery then use update.zip. I don't see how that should cause a problem if cm7.0 works fine when I flash it.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BartAertgeerts:
Try wiping everything? Except SDCard ofc. A good wipe usually solves the problem for me.

I usually wipe data/factory reset, then format boot, system, data, and cache.

Worth a try =)

Greets,

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calvin_sy:
Downloaded 7.0.3 again on PC this time and used Rom Manager to install it... only wiping dalvik.

Worked this time! finally Legend is 7.0.3. I hate wiping everything cos of all the customisations and tweaks I need to make.

Anyone who has tried OCLF in the tab with gingerbread rom onboard? does it even work in gingerbread?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ck3ml:
You shouldn't really need oclf on gingerbread as the default filesystem is ext4 which is far better than Samsungs implementation of rfs on froyo.

The lag that's being fixed with oclf is due to rfs not responding quickly enough.

Hope this helps

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sorrows:
Hey guys, I was wondering if you all could help me with an issue I've been having lately.

For some reason, I can't flash any ROMs. When I do, it hangs and hangs and hangs on the Splash Screen. It hasn't always been this way, everything worked just fine until last month I flashed MIUI. It worked, but after I decided I didn't like it, I couldn't flash any new ROM, and none of my backups worked until I wiped data and what not.

I've reformated my SD card, and I still can't flash any new ROMs. Help?

I'm kind of worried that if I decide to flash the stock 2.3 update when it comes, I'll brick my phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lsdozer:
I struggled with my phone for three days trying to flash roms recently. At one point I went to an older version of CWM 3.0.0.5 and it worked once, but then it stopped flashing again.

Tried Amon_Ra and didnt have any luck either due to signatures or something. Went back to CWM 3.0.0.8 and havent had any problems since. CWM must be messing up every once in a while or something.

Good Luck
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MojoRisin011:
I've had the same problem then someone suggested I flash a temporary 2.x clockworkmod to whipe bc clockworkmod 3.x has reported issues of not wiping completely.

Here's the zip I used, flashing will temporarily give 2.5.1.2. When you reboot, it will be back to whatever you had before. Also try repeatedly wiping data, cache, dalvik 3x or more. Hope this helps :D

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breathtakingevil:
You know.. its interesting that you mention this..

I have been following the CM7 nightlies for a while, and got fed up at one point and just stuck with one of there nightlies. Well... I noticed I couldn't flash ANYTHING at one point. Couldn't upgrade the kernel, radio, ROM... it would all cause it to hang up at the boot screen. I had to get EVERYTHING back to exactly how it was and then restore the most recent image I had created. It's the only thing that will work on my phone as of now. I wonder what happened, I feel like the phone lost its writing ability or something..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
I had a similar problem a while back. I had a 2GB laying around as a spare, made sure it was formatted on my comp FAT32 and then put whatever ROM I wanted on it and tried it from there. It stopped the looping issues I was having. So I saved all my stuff from my daily SD card (16GB) and formatted that and put it back in the Inc and I haven't had a problem since. Maybe try a new SD?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breathtakingevil:
Your right, I think I'm going to try another SD card... or back this one up and format it...

But the weird thing is I can flash tweaks to the ROM, but I can't change kernels, ROM, radio.... without it getting stuck on the splash screen...

But I'm gonna go ahead and try another SD, because I had another SD that messed up on me, and it gave me similar issues. I just haven't had any problems with this one... so yeah.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
If that doesn't work, you might try doing an RUU completely back to stock. then try flashing a new ROM.

I am a little curious how it would affect them. I have no doubt that most of us loyal Evo users have pushed our friends and family to purchase HTC phones. My wife wanted the Epic but I urged her to get the Evo Shift due to the difference in quality and history of software updates. I have friends who now have the Evo because of my input.

I have to imagine that we do have the power to make a difference in HTC's sales but is it enough to matter to them?
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:

Sprint could care less whether you can hack tethering or not. They are pushing the air cards anyways. My account manager told me this today.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
You guys act like HTC/Sprint need the dev community to stay afloat. Truth is we make up less than 1% of their sales and the only reason we are heard at all is because we put forth much more effort and have a lot more knowledge than the common user.

In all reality HTC can make a completely unlock-able/uncrackable boot loader and their sales will take absolutely no significant hit...It sucks, but it's reality and it's the way it is...

This is still very good news and i'm happy to hear that HTC is at least hearing us out, no matter how insignificant we may be...Or maybe they just realize that no matter what they do, our devs are better than theirs and can crack anything they try to lock in due time so the effort they put forth to lock us out isn't really worth it...

[EVO 4G General] tropicalbrit:
Might as well expand your consumer base as much as you can. The other 99% who don't root their phones don't really care if the bootloader is locked or not. With an easily unlockable bootloader, that 1% that does root their phones can grow. Devs are smart, and HTC could take some hints from them.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
they may change their bootloader policy in future phones, not the 3d which is about ready to ship.

[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
While it is probably safe to say "most," there isn't a single person in this thread, or probably even on this forum, who has any idea how many people actually root their devices. I hear people citing all the time how only 1% this or 5% that. It is all bull****. You don't have even the slightest idea, and are either making crap up, or repeating crap you have heard. Second, WE are a big part of deciding what devices are popular, through our interactions with friends, and the fact that we actually get online and post reviews of products. Don't believe me? Ask yourself why the Atrix is selling so poorly. It is faster than the Evo, with a better battery life, and better screen...so why is it selling so poorly? At least part of that is the influence that the geek community has on their friends and family. I know that I have steered folks away from other phones, like the Epic, etc. While we make not be successful in changing HTC's mind about all this, at least some of us tried.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
Because of this:

ZOMG did you have to "fastboot oem unlock"?

Btw, that's effectively unlocked/rooted. it's basically like a PC shipping with a blank admin password and your first log in is with a normal user. Sure _technically_ your first log in doesn't give you full rights, but they aren't even trying to prevent you from changing things. After that you're just making changes to the OS (adding superuser app, poping in the recovery img, whatever).

T-Mobile (USA) praises Cyanogen for CyanogenMod ever so often on twitter.

They're on REALLY good terms: http://twitter.com/#!/TMobile/status/60771248325664768

And his work as we all know, is beyond simple "rooting".
[EVO 4G General] agrabren:
Many people seem to be missing something... If HTC is smart, the bootloader should be signed and encrypted. And they should never leak the keys. But to appease the dev community, flash a new bootloader OTA, which allows fastboot oem unlock. This command is irreversible, and HTC and Sprint can detect the blown OEM fuse. People who hack their device don't have to be covered by warranty if Sprint or HTC decide so. They have the power to detect devices which may be running non-factory images, and we get dev freedom. How many developers would really spend weeks or months trying to crack the device in a way that the OEM fuse wasn't blown? It's all doable after the phone ships.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
Lol! I really hope you're not being serious right now... Do you seriously think that the Atrix is doing poorly (i'm assuming you know the sales numbers since you're getting on me for "making crap up" or you're just a blatant hypocrite) because of the development community? I won't even get into an argument over that because it's ridiculous.

As far as how many people know about rooting and actually root their phones, I may not have the exact number but I do have common sense. You can walk into a room full of IT professionals and chances are 9/10 wont have a clue what rooting is about.

But since you want numbers so bad then here... Cyanogenmod is reported to have approximately 500,000 users and has by far the largest community of followers out there. I guarantee you you will not find another developer with anywhere close to 500,000 users, the majority have only a fraction of a fraction of that... When you consider all of that then it becomes evident how small our community really is.

Just because I don't have the facts or numbers to prove that less than 1% of users root their phones doesn't mean it isn't true. There really shouldn't be an argument over this because anybody who is semi knowledgeable knows there is no way in hell the dev community makes more than 1% of the android population.

P.S I have never seen anybody say anything about 5%. That isn't even feasible and you probably made that up yourself.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
Why in the world would I make this up? What possible purpose would it serve? It doesn't help my argument any, or further any point. If i was going to just make crap up, it would at least help my case in some fashion. But way to get all attacky, there.

As for the rest of it, well, we each have our own opinion. My whole point was that none of us have any real idea how many people root...that includes me...not that I had some sort of inside info proving there were more rooters than that. But made-up percentages aside, Yes, I believe the enthusiast community has an effect on the market. I know it did here. Hell, my enthusiasm for HTC has got them a Touch, a TP, 2 Heros, and 3 Evos...none of which are my phone, plus 2 other guys at my office switched to android, but not HTC. I do not believe I am the only person out there talkin up there products. If you don't think having most of their hardcore fans turn against them will hurt, I think you are underestimating the power of word of mouth.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
They probably want to hire one of them
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Pretty sure HTC's Evo 3d contract with Sprint was contingent on locking the device. As big an account as it is, losing their hacking and rooted customers (and it likely is 1%ish) is a miniscule drop in the bucket to them compared to losing their Sprint Evo job.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
