Hmm update don't seem drastic. I wonder what it did...
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
That's the Rom version, so far it seems like they go by: Android version - Rom version - carrier - ?

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G General] Whosdaman:
Hey, I was first!
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
I suppose that wouldn't bother me so much if they didn't try n lock us into 2 year contracts.
[EVO 4G General] jxr94:
Hopefully HTC felt generous and threw in sense 2.+ for us lol.
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
Once I went to Evo from Hero, I never looked back at AOSP. ;)
[EVO 4G General] jborell3:
Just can't wait for the devs to get us the Gingerbread kernel
[EVO 4G General] :
Me too man. I have the bloody Nova screen.
[EVO 4G General] LMMT:
Me too, bloody nova screen, indeed.
[EVO 4G General] PhxkinMassacre:
(Prepared to be flamed like crazy)

Ok so I rooted my friends evo with unrevoked 3 and he isn't very in to the whole rooting thing (still stock rom, never flashed a thing) so he doesn't care if he losses it or not. But I'm worried that if he accepts the ota he will brick his phone. And I will have to buy him a new one (that I can't afford since I'm broke). So I've googled it and no one has a straitup answer. So if he gets it will he:

1.loose root and have a stock phone.

2:turn his phone into a pretty paper weight.

Just answer a 1. Or 2. So I know whether or not I have to unroot him first...
[EVO 4G General] PhxkinMassacre:
5 hours before the ota starts rolling out haha and if not I say maybe an hour or 2 after it starts
[EVO 4G General] :
Pretty sure its 1. Tell him not to accept the update, and why should you pay for his phone? When one roots, they should be aware of the dangers that come with it.

Anyhow, if you know he'll accept it. Just unroot to be in the safe side.
[EVO 4G General] mailkid14:
Sense can go to hell, I'm sticking to AOSP 2.3 (Salvage rom Nightly 24). True Vanilla AOSP, CM7 Is bloated with the pre-loaded ADW launcher which is alright but kills battery.
[EVO 4G General] :
You may not like it, but others do.
[EVO 4G General] jborell3:
We all know you can't wait then, hopefully the kernel helps significantly with battery life
[EVO 4G General] tomh1979:
That's why I booted ADW from cm7, and run the GB 2.3 launcher with landscape support and 3D app drawer.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Thanks?
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
Where did you find the gb launchet with landscape support? Throw a dog a bone por favor.

Pocket posted...
[EVO 4G General] androidrookie84:
If it doesn't fix battery life then its not for me
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
Even if the odds of him bricking his phone by accepting the OTA are low, why take the chance?

If he doesn't even want/need/use root, why did you even do it for him?

Anyways, I would just unroot it now. It takes less than 10 minutes. Just to be on the safe side.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Myn's working on a Synergy right now. He has nightlies up but you have to PM him for access. It's Sense 2.1-based and I believe he was using the leak as a base.
[EVO 4G General] Jeremiah239:
Your phone is rooted you can uninstall and install what ever you want, if you don't want ADW (I don't blame you) install the launcher you want and uninstall ADW with titanium.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
You beat me to it. Although I use ADW Ex, so I uninstall the version that comes with the ROM with Titanium.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
thanks for that input the doors ---------------------> this way

ive run EVERY ROM HERE and with the current kernels i get just about the same battery life on sense as i do on AOSP
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
+1. I'm actually getting better battery with Sense roms. Especially with the Virus Inspire ports
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Same.

[EVO 4G General] RileyGrant:
I can promise you that if I'm home when this drops I'll have a rooted zipaligned and deodexed/odexed.version within half an hour.

Finally can't wait for Friday. Glad the fun isn't over for my evo
[EVO 4G General] Cherokee4Life:
THANK YOU for the heads up!!!

this needs to come as quick and some more better ROM's need to come out as well. (not saying the roms out there aren't that bad.. myn = amazing)
[EVO 4G General] issafram:
Do you guys think that the only reason HTC/Sprint released this on such short notice was because of Motorola's update for the Droid X?

Like to keep up with the competition, so to speak?

Or has this calendar been like this for a while?
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
actually, I would agree with this. every other phone has been getting GB, and only the "flag****" Sprint phone has not. *annoyed*

if ANYONE at HTC watches the typical blogs, they have to be seeing this.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
I agree that it's kind of overdue, especially since it should have come before the Evo 3D was even announced. But I don't think they're "rushing it all of the sudden because the Droid X just got it". The Evo is still their flagship phone. The Epic has barely been advertised on any Sprint TV ads, and in the latest "Unlimited" advertisement series, the Evo has been shown off at the end of the ad. As well as on Fringe.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
real question will it have 2.1 sense :/
[EVO 4G General] :
Probably not man. Kind of sad really, but that is why we are rooted! :D
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
lol i know it just is kinda lame that we probably wont get it seeing how the gay ass shift is for sure :/ and this is the flagship for 4g lol the shifts damn rom isnt much bigger then ours :/
[EVO 4G General] jeriel05:
I am rooted running the stock Sprint Rom, will I need to to unroot to get the update?
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
just give it like 1 hour from the time your able to download it and it will be up here on xda for dl lol
[EVO 4G General] Whosdaman:
It is way over due
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
,W

*rolls eyes* because the Droid 2, the Droid Incredible, all the Galaxy S phones, the G2, the mytouch 4g... they all have gingerbread right?

As far as I know, the only phones in the united states to be updated to gingerbread already are the Droid X and the Droid Pro, and that just happened this week.
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
Smh
[EVO 4G General] indiscriminant:
Although I would like this to come with Sense 2.1, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter does it? For the rooting community that is.

We already have working Sense 2.1 working near flawlessly on our phones thanks to the Evo Shift ports.

The biggest gain from this either way is the final Kernal release working for all phones, and the likely minor bug fixes that will help with even beyond brightness.

I know it is always better to have a stable base that already includes it, but in reality it isn't a huge loss if it doesnt for those that frequent this board.
[EVO 4G General] d0cx:
seems like this friday is gonna be... fun fun fun fun. i'm so... looking forward to the weekend. :)
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Guess I'm dumb, but what version of Sense does a Stock EVO ship with?
[EVO 4G General] baris.m:
GB version

Based on the ROM version (and the previous leaks), is there any way to tell if this will be based on 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?

Wondering if video chat will work..
[EVO 4G General] Pao23:
1.0

10char
[EVO 4G General] AngelofChaos:
most likely it will be the 2.3.3 base build, and if video chat doesn't work, the devs will make it work. Remember, all things are possible on XDA!
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
would like to have 2.1 but i just really want the kernel lol
[EVO 4G General] jrich19:
maybe this is just my opinion but HTC not giving us at least sense 2.1 with the GB update is a slap in the face to all its evo customers.
[EVO 4G General] Warrior 3000:
hm but the real question is...

should i unroot and just go 2.3? hmmm
[EVO 4G General] dcmasta:
The problem is simple, why give you something you can get on a new phone? Would you like it if your company sold a product that would never be obsolete? I would, but that wouldn't make you any money now......
[EVO 4G General] SouthernEvo:
I wouldnt do that . Just wait for the Devs to root 2.3 , nandroid your current set up and load up 2.3 . Give it a test drive if its something you like then keep it . If not nandroid back to your previous setup . More than likely you will lose root and it will take time to get root back , personally i wouldnt risk it
[EVO 4G General] daprospecta:
Well create a phone that makes the last look like complete crap. Sorry but the EVO 3d doesn't do that. Better screen(Evo 1 screen is fine), a bit faster, and oh 3d(which no one seems to care about on a phone). Sorry to say this but only apple can add a few none relevant specs and call it an upgrade. People in the know aren't falling for that.
[EVO 4G General] Warrior 3000:
will the battery life for 2.3 be so amazing I will want to unroot and upgrade to 2.3?!?!?!?!?
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
No one knows how the battery will be were talking about a 4.3" screen 4G phone, battery is based on how one uses their phone. Just buy an extended battery if you're looking for amazing battery life because the standard battery isn't going to do it. Last, why would you unroot? within 1 hour im sure devs are going to have the update downloadable for you to just flash. If you unroot and accept the update you might be stuck without root for who knows how long.
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
Except it's a lot better of a screen, with better resolution. The processor is more than "a bit" faster. They doubled the memory. Forget the 3D gimmick for a second, the 5MP camera has a better ccd than the 8MP camera on our current phone.

I for one can't wait to watch my 720p and 1080p MKV's with RockPlayer on the new phone. Minus the skipping and audio sync issues because my current Evo can't keep up.

I guess I just don't really understand what else they really could've done with the technology that's available. Still though, this market is destined to become similar to computers. If it's already fast enough to do what I do on it, why upgrade?
[EVO 4G General] jlb74:
yes, yes, yes, I think I smell Myn's Warm Gingerbread in the Oven!
[EVO 4G General] whatsitsnamenow:
I'll be the first to upgrade/update. Root be damned.
[EVO 4G General] brad560:
debating wether to unroot myself. my daily is always stocked rooted anyways, hmmm... and i know the advice is to just wait lol
[EVO 4G General] dpilcher:
Since I had to take mine in to get a replacement ordered yesterday, I decided to go ahead and do just that...unroot and then root again to see how painless it was. Well..taking some of my stupidity out of the equation...had it unrooted, OTA(over wifi due to my 3g being borked {replacement coming})updated and then rooted and nandroided in about 45 minutes. Not to bad, so think I may do it again in the morning and stick with stock to see if this rumor comes to furishion. I did lose my 76 hboot...oh well.

Fun times ahead!
[EVO 4G General] Lperez6485:
Im waiting at least to hear what exactly we're going to get. Id rather be rooted for now
[EVO 4G General] christobal65:
I've been waiting for this to come out for the last month plus. I can't wait to dump CM7 and Salvage rom never flashed right no matter what recovery I used and how I wiped the phone.

Looking forward to a truly stable Fresh or Warm :D

TMartinPPC Evo Gingersense

I'm running TMartinPPC Evo Gingersense, should I flash back to a stock rom if I want the OTA or should I wait until the Official Rom is released?
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
sprints support site for evo just went down lol

http://support.sprint.com/support/a...e-wh164052-20100527-115429?&INTNAV=SU:DP:HDIA
[EVO 4G General] brad560:
the general advice is to stay root, do not accept the update, we do not know if changes will be made to the system that prevents recents methods of rooting to work, hence decline the update. Devs should have a rooted stock version soon after the update.

some people, like me, have gone back to stock because we don't mind staying root a few days (hopefully)

so it is a preference i guess?
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Never accept an official OTA while rooted; bad things can happen. Its best to wait for your rom to be updated with the latest software.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
while we wait...

I rarely checkout HTC's website but check out the banner at the bottom of the page.

http://www.htc.com/us/products/evo-sprint
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
If anyone needs to go back to complete stock (You'll still be S-OFF after running these, unless you used Toast's method to root. Then you need to run Unrevoked after), here are all existing RUUs. The zips can be flashed via the bootloader (more reliable). Rename one of them to PC36IMG.zip and put it in the root of your card. Or you can run the RUU from your PC:

[EVO 4G General] animal7296:

[EVO 4G General] animal7296:
O.M.G. No cheesecake? NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

J/K I dont like cheesecake
[EVO 4G General] tech7:
haha and still nothing on west texas
[EVO 4G General] animal7296:
yippee!!! Yay!!!
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
nothing yet that i have seen :/
[EVO 4G General] spledger:
It actually doesn't matter that much - the (cheese)cake was a lie to begin with!

What you really need to be careful of though is bricking your rooted phone with an ota update - that's what happened to me last time I tried an ota as a noob
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Worst case [not likely] brick the phone. The more likely to happen, you can permanently lose root.
[EVO 4G General] :
It would be nice if that meant new sense!
[EVO 4G General] androidsupra:
its been like that for at least a month, since i started checking there for any news
[EVO 4G General] tech7:
ok if we actualy get the update download where could the file be to upload it?
[EVO 4G General] retnuh730:
If you get the file before anyone else, upload it to multiupload, a sharing site, then post it in the development section. People will flip **** when they finally get a zip.

EDIT: It will most likely download to the root of your SD card, just don't run the update because it will most likely remove the zip after flashing to give you your space back.
[EVO 4G General] androidsupra:
your choice of file hosts, and post it for haus or someone to see
[EVO 4G General] tech7:
cool thanks my host will be mostly mu and hotfile
[EVO 4G General] J_apa_n:
hell, the only thing that would make this epic is sense 3.0. now that the kingdom rom is running better, i really cant complain.
[EVO 4G General] tech7:
if it does come with sence 3.0 ill wait a bit on getting evo 3d
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
It will save it on the cache partition under /cache/

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
So after it downloads, just pull the battery before it starts installing. Then go into recovery and copy the file and upload it somewhere.
[EVO 4G General] kidram:
Don't want to burst your bubble but HTC will never release sense 3.0 fact HTC said that it will be impossible to run sense 3.0 on EVO cause of memory but virus did it hope they will release sense 2.1 atleast

Customized Evo
[EVO 4G General] spledger:
No chance, I'm thinking. HTC already has stated that the evo isn't capable of running sense 3.0 in terms of hardware (mainly its size, I believe - customers wouldn't have enough room for additional apps without using app2sd). But it would definitely be awesome!
[EVO 4G General] rubber guard:
nothing in Austin on stock 2.2 over wifi.
[EVO 4G General] jocampo86:
Going to.unroot right now in Chicago and try to download andsave it
[EVO 4G General] retnuh730:
Anybody who was here for prior stock updates, how do the events unfold? The stock ROM's posted, then what? Is the kernel easy to remove and post for those with other gingerbread sense roms?
[EVO 4G General] RileyGrant:
Kernel will be extracted before you know it. Will be made into a flashable zip for everyone with screen problems. If anyone can upload the file when it drops ill root it immediatly and re up as a flashable zip.
[EVO 4G General] retnuh730:
I'll definitely roll stock-root for a few days if you do that. Kind of a novelty running a basically stock rom for me these days.
[EVO 4G General] bigant262:
Once zip is up, shouldn't even be an hour before we get a rooted rom of it. But it will take a little longer for devs if they want to customize it. I remember when I had a Nexus One and a new update had come out, probably about 30 minutes later there was a rooted version of it already. lol. I'm not really excited because I don't use Sense, but I'm going to test it out anyway. :)

Oh and another thing, if you are rooted right now, don't unroot just to get the update. You will get it faster then everyone else.
[EVO 4G General] retnuh730:
Definitely. I can't wait for the inevitable threads where people unrooted and updated, but now can't root again due to a different HBOOT, then want to complain and beg for help.
[EVO 4G General] bigant262:
Lol. I want to see how long its going to take for someone to be able to root 2.3 Sense. Hopefully it won't be that hard, and won't take that long, but you never know. What is the update even bringing? I haven't heard anything "new" about it or anything.
[EVO 4G General] retnuh730:
Well there was a leaked 2.3 update that added bits of Sense 2.1, but it was basically in the form of icons in menus and such. It was rooted pretty quickly, so hopefully the same method can be used to root and optimize this verson.
[EVO 4G General] threestripebrand:
Well its the 3rd pst. Still waiting

Nice. Well gents I'm off to bed hopefully tomorrow we are all in another thread rocking our gingerbread and having an awesome time
[EVO 4G General] rdhddmazoku:
Going through the process of a nandroid backup and backing up all my apps in Titanium. 456 mb to sync to Dropbox. Hopefully I can wipe, flash gingerbread, and restore apps later today and be on my merry way. Been pretty happy with stock, though an updated sense would be nice. Anything else I should back up?

Also, on another note. I had the battery issue a week ago where it refuses to charge. I didn't know what was going on (didn't even know it was an issue until today) and went to Best Buy (have their insurance) to get it fixed. The guy gave me a brand new bigger battery off the shelf for free. I was out in 5 minutes. Yay for more battery life and awesome customer service.

This case specifically I haven't seen. But I've seen many similar to it. Such as the ones by BLUREX, Bear Motion, and CaseCrown. I personally have the Case Crown one.
[Xoom Accessories] drob77777:
cases

Thanks for mentioning those. I mean they are all nice cases. In fact, I almost got the bear motion cause its on sale at amazon. But I am particularly interested in this one. I really like the back and the fact that it snaps. Not that I'm sure this is a plus but the aesthetics are nice. Plus the cut outs are precise and the quality looks good if you zoom into the pictures. I hope someone knows something about it.
[Xoom Accessories] mr_wrong_0:
Yeah I actually sell them. (I'm a manager for a cellphone accessory store) I order them from a distributer called valor. Look here

I usually try to keep like 5 on hand, but they've been out of stock for weeks. I have one myself and I love it but I feel like I have to hide it because when I show it to customers they want one too lol, and I'm not able to get them at the moment. :(
