[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Removing Bloatware

Now that you got this far, you probably want to get rid of the bloat that comes with the Evo.

Pretty simple, actually. Since you got and paid for Titanium Back up, open it up, click on Menu>Batch and scroll down to the bottom.

Under "Un-Install" click on uninstall All User & System Apps, click Deselect All, then choose the apps you want to remove.

*Note: BE CAREFUL!

Only delete the Apps you know are safe. And really, these are pretty obvious.

These are definitely safe, but if you aren't sure, don't remove it.

V6SUPER CHARGER & CAR-O-DOPE TWEAKS

People have said V6 is better for Sense ROMs and Car-O-Dope for AOSP ROMs.

Car-O-Dope

Note: The Menus in ROM Toolbox have changed so look carefully before you start applying these settings. They are all there, just in different orders

This is a really easy tweak in that you don't have to flash anything or run any scripts.

You'll need to download ROM Toolbox and System Tuner.

In ROM Toolbox, click on Performance and then on Memory Manager

Use these Settings:

Foreground Application: 6Mb

Visible Application: 12Mb

Secondary Server: 55Mb

Hidden Application: 70Mb

Content Provider: 85Mb

Empty Application: 100Mb

Click Apply On Boot

Go back, and hit Kernel Tweaks/Sysctl Tweaks, then use these settings:

Min Free Kbytes: 4096

Dirty Ratio: 70

Dirty Background Ratio: 50

VFS Cache Pressure: 10

Make sure Apply On Boot is checked.

Then, open System Tuner

Click Tweaks, the SD Card

Set Cache to 4096 and IO Scheduler to deadline

Click Boot Settings, select Re-apply SD tweak and select init.d script.

Reboot

V6 Super Charger/3G Turbo Charger

Download Busybox Installer from the Market, open it and install Busy Box1.18.2. This is the recommended version for V6 SuperCharger.

Download the V6 Supercharger from the link below and unzip it on your SD card. I have the files on the root of mine. I have all three files in one zip, when you go to that link. V6 Supercharger. 3G TurboCharger and the kickass Kernalizer. The link to XDA is the original thread posted by zeppelinrox, which will explain everything you need to know.

On your SD card, remove the .txt extension from all 3 files.

From the Market, download Script Manager. Open it and browse to the SD Card, then click on V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update9_beta_6.3.sh Click on Help then check Run As Root and OK. Then click on Run

The first choice you make is how fast the text scrolls. Use 0, and then enter. Next you’ll choose which option. I think most people use Option 9, so hit 9, and then enter. When it’s done, enter 27, to Exit. Do not Reboot yet. When it’s done, back out to the SD Card, scroll up and hit the .. twice, then click on Data.

Scroll down to 99SuperCharger.sh and click on it. Click on Help and highlight Run as Root and Run at Root, OK, and then RUN. When it’s done, back out and browse back to the SD Card. Click on KickAssKernalizer_Tweaks_Installer, Click on Help, then Run as Root. OK and Run. I select No when it asks about the I/O Tweaks, although I’m not sure if that’s the best choice or not. But seeing anything that says it can cause boot loops makes me want to avoid it. Once it’s finished, back out again, go back to Data, then click on 99KickAssKernel, and use the same settings as before.

Go back to the SD Card, Click on 3G Turbocharger_Installer and chose fastest.

Back out, and Reboot.

**Note:

Read the threads for Supercharger for updated files. I have gotten away from V6 Supercharger, and use CoD Tweaks, exclusively, however, I do still use 3G, which has been updated. I have the best success with Experimental 1 setting

ViperMod For AOSP Kernels

This is a very simple to use Mod for AOSP Kernels.

Download the file, and flash it in Recovery, then reboot.

Once Booted, go to Terminal Manager and type:

SU

Vipermod

Once the script runs, I chose 2, to lower voltages and then chose 3, to lower by 75mv

You can play with the settings to see what works best for you

A2SD

From the Market, download ASDGUI. Open it and select Zipalign. Close the app and Open Terminal Emulator.

Type:

SU

A2SD check.

Once it’s done, Type:

SU

A2SD CacheSD

This will move the Dalvik-Cache to the EXT 3 Partition on your SD Card, opening up a LOT of room on your internal memory. Mine was over 200MB.

Once it’s finished, the phone will reboot and because of the new Dalvik-Cache, it will take longer to boot up.

Updating Radios

Radio Updates are released on occasion and having the newest radios is never a bad idea. Some people use different combinations to help improve battery life, reception, etc. you can read the thread below for possible radio combos.

When you update your radios, you should know that it is possible to brick your phone, if not done correctly. Some radios are in PC36IMG.zip form and this is what I prefer, but most in the thread listed are zip files that you flash in recovery.

Follow these steps exactly.

*Note: Make sure your battery has a good charge. I’d say over 50% is safe. Losing power during a radio flash will turn your Evo into a paper weight.

Boot to Recovery and go to the folder where you have stored your zip file for updating radios.

Flash the zip file as you would any other. The phone will extract the files, then reboot to a black screen with a green arrow. This could sit here for a few minutes. Do not worry if it seems to take a while.

Then the phone will reboot to recovery and say it’s clearing cache.

When the Recovery Menu pops up, you can reboot.

Team Revolution MIUI Install Guide

Step 1. This is a MIUI ROM, which means GPS could be an issue, so the first thing I do is make a nandroid of my current Setup, then I restore my stock/rooted ROM.

Step 2. I update Profle and PRL, then I do the Sense GPS Fix.

You must be in a Sense ROM for this

Open Maps; get a lock on your position.

Open GPS Status & Tool Box, get a lock on your Sats and then hit Menu>Tools>Manage A-GPS State>Reset.

Open Dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX#

In the popup that asks for your password, enter your MSL, (You'll need MSL Reader from the market) then reboot.

When the phone is rebooted, Open Maps, get a lock; Open GPS Status, hit Menu>Tools>Manage A-GPS State>Download. Once you are locked onto your Sats, power down, then Reboot to Recovery.

Of course, I only use Amon Ra and in Recovery, I wipe everything, completely; Factory Reset., then each option underneat that, except SD Card:

Then I run Factory Reset again, then Cache and Dalvik Cache and Data again, jsut to make sure it's all clear.

Go to Flash, and Flash the Rom. Once it's done, go right back to flash and flash DT A2SD, the nI boot to System and once booted, I let it sit for a good 10 minutes, so everythign get's booted up and settled in.

At this point, I open LBE manager (Superuser) and set all my permissions to on and accept all.

I open Maps, get a lock, open GPS Status, and I already know I'll get a lock on my sats. Then I hit menu and update GPS Data.

Next is Connectbot, and I move my Dalvik Cache to my SD Card. Here's the commands

su

a2sd check

a2sd cachesd

The phone will reboot and again, I just let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Once I wake it up, I set my preferences, display, sounds, accounts, etc. MIUI ICS hasd a TON of new settings and one is the Status Bar Options. Hit Customize Statas Bar Notification and make sure Hide Notification is turned off. This will allow notifications to show up.

Once I'm done, I reboot to recovery, wipe Cache and Dalvik and Flash my Kernel.

The BEST kernel to use right now is Mason v0.14 SBC No FSO. I also Flash Vipermod.

That's it. If you use a different kernel and you have problems, this is the first place to look.

Upon reboot, I let the phone settle, then I open Titanium backup and restore my apps/Data. Now, I have had a lot of problems in the past with TB Freezing up when U try to restore all 117 apps I have in one session, so I do it in 3 now. I alphabetize the apps and then go A-H, I-P, Q-Z

Once finished, I open Rom Toolbox and go to Autostart Manager and make sure all the apps I DON'T need to be runnign at boot are toggled off. Then I set Car O Dope Tweaks. I'm one of the believers that Car O Dope is for AOSP, V6 is for Sense. I have yet to give Smurfs tweaks a run, but I plan to, soon.

I reboot and run Vipermod -50 in Connectbot, and then setup my desktop folders, etc. Then I g othrough any apps I need to set preferences for, Make sure VVM is working and that is basically it. Took some extra time, but I shake my head at the problems people are having that are almost alwasy attributed to shortcutting the process.

Almost all of the links and files anyone needs are on the guide in my signature

Visual Voice Mail for ICS

Follow this link. I'm on the MIUI ICS by Swiper and this worked perfectly!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1547780

1. Download attached Sprint VVM apk, Install like any other downloaded APK

2. Using Root explorer, go to 'data/app' folder and find the newly installed sprint vvm

3. Select the VVM app and MOVE it to your 'system/app' folder. (permissions should already match because it was installed, but make sure it matches all other apps in system/app folder) 4. Boot into Recovery, Clear 'Cache'/ 'Dalvik Cache', then 'FIX PERMISSIONS', next 'Reboot system'

5. Once booted up, open the Sprint VVM app and click on compose.

The recipient will be 'activate@vvm.sprint.com'

Record about 15-20 secs just incase, then send the message.

You should receive a notification saying that your phone is provisioned.

6. Tap to compose another message and this time send one to yourself, wait about 5 mins and and you should receive a new vvmail notification.

The best part is, I never got to step 5. It provisioned on boot-up and I got notified of 3 Voice Mails I KNEW I had in there waiting for me.

I've included the app at attached to the OP

Bugs & Fixes.

• USB Connect - The two ways to fix this are with the app, USB Mass Storage in the market or the FTP Function is File Explorer.

• Camera only takes 3MP pics - D/L Camera ICS from the market and you'll get up to 8MP with Video Recording

• Theme Manager - There are very few themes for MIUI ICS. I understand that a new Theme Manager should be coming soon, according to the rumors.

• Music Player/Theme Sounds not seeing music folder - D/L Rescan Media form the market. Problem solved.

• Slow 3G/Data Speeds and Market Downloads. For me, after about a day, this fixed itself

Known Issues

No WIMAX

No HWA, yet
