[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocket999:
Doesn't matter. When you root it doesn't take any space. When you flash a custom ROM you would take the apps you want and back them up to your SD card using an app called "Titanium Backup". Then you would go into what's called "recovery" and you would wipe everything off of your phone and install new software. I would recommend Decks 1.3 if you don't want sense or MikG 3.0 if you still want sense. Then you would go back to the app titanium backup and restore the apps that you backed up.

So when you are done it will give you TONS of storage space available. Like all but about 120 on MikG and all but about 50 on Decks 1.3.

Does that explain it well enough?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
Yup thanks, just making sure as insufficient storage errors used to torture me before I reset it.

What do you all think of Zedomax vids - guides- sites ?

Is unrooting ever an issue, any reason I should avoid rooting (i.e. security concerns etc)?

-Thanks :cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottypeterson:
Unrooting shouldn't be an issue. I've done it a coupe times to take my phone into sprint (rooting voids your warranty) and all you have to do is download the correct file or an RUU, rename it to PC36IMG and place it on your sdcard. After that, boot your phone into the bootloader (take out battery, put back it, hold don volume down + power button) it will then ask you to update, select yes. Let your phone do its thing and bam your uprooted with stock rom and s-on.

I have never came across any reason not to root. It's Imo the best thing you can do for your phone. For instance, with dtapps2sd I have around 110 apps installed and have 232 MB of internal memory left. After you root, your phone will run better and you can dramatically increase battery life.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
Since you are still on stock 2.2 just root using unrevoked. Then flash whatever custom rom you want. Since you actually still have the choice to use unrevoked over revolutionary, I would suggest unrevoked. It's also slightly easier to unroot unrevoked, although they are both simple to do. Also unrevoked forever!

Actually, scottypeterson, the devs at Evervolv have gotten the camera working at full 8MP. I think the dev (MongooseHelix) wanted to release it publicly himself, so I'm not gonna post the .zip... :cool:

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

Evervolv 2.1.0p4 is the only ICS ROM I've heard of that has a functioning camera. Right now, without the .zip that MongooseHelix is developing, the back camera (the big one) functions only at 3MP.

The only other thing not working that I care about is 4G. I used to use MIUI, so for me, that's not necessarily a problem. :cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lacedaemon:
EDIT TO MY LAST POST: MongooseHelix has released the .zip on Twitter, here's the link to it: https://twitter.com/#!/MongooseHelix/status/156264001242796032
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
Upgrading to 2.3? Holy crap you're way behind the times. Most people, including myself, are running 2.3.7....or at the very least 2.3.5. Some have even made the switch to ICS already.

Not sure what has been posted in this thread already but there is no logical reason to wait to root your phone. And there is no logical reason to still be using Froyo when GB is significantly better....not to mention its the stock system the phone ships with. That's like being stuck on XP while the rest of the world has moved on to Windows 7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lacedaemon:
Sounds like my dad, Concordium. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
Nah for my dad I've set him up with iPhones.:rolleyes: I'm the only one in my family who appreciates the superior freedom+value of Android:D, most of them have iPhones, one still on BlackBerry for work. I just upgraded my dad to iPhone 4S last month but if the Samsung Galaxy Note was available then on AT&T I probably could have sold him on its unique features..

You guys are aware that Win XP is still the dominant OS right? This remains mostly because of business markets.

I would have updated to 2.3 but was getting insufficient storage errors even from small apps until I reset it (& previously some here encouraged me not to update to 2.3 if I planned to root most easily-safely). My EVO is also a business device so there are more security concerns (rooting is not sanctioned) but was planning on rooting it after I get its work replacement (interested in the Samsung Galaxy Note but I was not a fan of the SGNexus).

Rooting really isn't a security concerns for your work phones?

-Thanks :cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
Well we're not concerned with Windows' distribution within the corporate world. We're talking about the typical end user.

Now, if you're running out of storage then you're not moving your apps to your SD card. Moving them to your SD card frees up internal storage and helps keep your phone running smooth. Also, allowing thousands of SMS/MMS messages to accumulate on your phone takes up space and slows your phone down.

As far as rooting goes, its not a security issue unless you are careless with the apps you put on it. Sort of like a computer. Antivirus is a good thing to have. But your antivirus doesn't really need to do much if you use some common sense while surfing the net. With rooting you can improve battery life, tether, customize your system however you want it, and much much more. There really are no downsides to rooting.

Edit: both unrEVOked and Revolutionary are easy as hell to use. Both do an awesome job of painlessly rooting the Evo. Which one you use is just dependent on your system and radio version.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
What I'm expressing is a concern about using it in a workplace environment as well..I've read in theory rooting makes your device more vulnerable but glad to hear in practice it should not be much of a concern.

I do move as much as possible to the SD card, previously I just had too many apps, some of which could not be moved at all or entirely to sdcard. How much space can I expect to gain by rooting & deleting the stock's bloatware?

Could you elaborate on "dependent on your system and radio version", or i.e. since I'm still on 2.2 unrEVOked is an option vs Rev for 2.3?

-Thanks :cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
There are security apps for the Evo. Things like Wavesecure and the like. They search apk's for malicious code. That would be a good thing to invest in if you're concerned about possible security issues.

Also, here is the page for unrEVOked. Scroll down on the page and check the listed versions. If your Evo is running one of the baseband versions listed then you can run unrEVOked Forever. If it is running a different baseband version then you need to use Revolutionary. You can check your baseband version by holding the volume up button and the power button at the same time until the white screen appears. Your baseband version will be listed at the top of the screen.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Smashysmash:
Everything I've read until now says I need to have S-Off before being able to root your phone, but not with your method... is that:

1) Because you actually DO need S-Off before using this, but forgot to mention it?

2) Because the programme also turns the phone (and leaves it) S-Off?

3) Because the programme bypasses the need for S-Off somehow?
