My 13 yr old just bought this phone with her own money SO.... I am going to help her speed it up a bit, because its so much older and there a billion of them can anyone suggest a very good ROM that is lightweight and simple? If not I will try at random but like I said just wanting to tweak it so it doesn't seem like a dinosaur for her tech wise. :silly: Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] PlatinumPenguin:
Teach her to root it and flash ROMs. :)
[EVO 4G General] okn0tok:
malries yet

she is autistic and there is no way she could handle sitting for that long and all the steps. :) Plus rooting this HTC evo was no fun, most complicated root I have done and I have rooted my LG optimus V, Moto droid, and Samsung S3. Files were hard to find, missing in tutorials, haha no way any kid would sit through all that. Other than that, yes kids should learn the technology they use. :o
[EVO 4G General] luvofthagame:
Well, it looks like I'm finally going to have to make a move and upgrade...I still love my og EVO, but unfortunately development is just not available anymore...there is less than a handful still attempting but seems like with every release there are more problems including no more 4g and ffc...seems as the hardware is having trouble keeping up with everything these days...looking into HTC one or Samsung galaxy...it was great while it lasted...over 3years!!! And we have xda and these great developers that made it so...thanks and can't wait to get back into the new roms with an upgrade...

i here that i still love my evo i still have my htc touch pro.

I guess everyone moved away to new phones now. I must be the only one still using it as a phone now that my evo 4g lte has an ever increasing dead spot.

Possible to Swap 4G Motherboard for 4G LTE/GSM mobo and Will It Work on T-Mobile?

Clearly still a noob, but I saw an EVO 4G ($30, nothing wrong with it other than an antique) and was wondering if anyone knew if I bought a 4g LTE Evo (perhaps for parts, but working motherboard) could I swap them out and would it work?

Though only an official member for a short while, I've seen some wild stuff done here [by highly knowledgeable people, of course] and this doesn't sound too crazy, does it?

The phone is for my Mom who doesn't want me to spend much money on a phone but with my 11- and 14-year-old daughters (always text, Snapchat, etc) I know she needs more.

Oh, and I'm a little short on cash so trying to take a more creative approach. The know must work on T-Mobile. And with CDMA/GSM don't think flashing the modem is going to do the trick!

Thanks for taking the time to read!

Best,

John

Still Holding on

Farewell to all those finally retiring their HTC EVO 4G's I will hold onto it myself because of freedompop. I signed up and they give you free 500 Mb a month plus 500 texts and 200 talk minutes. so if anyone knows of better plan that can support newer phones, let me know.
[EVO 4G General] randalgibbons:
still going strong

Sure is quiet around here. I've been reading some of the older threads and a couple of things came to mind. First... I hope Diablo was able hang around in here long enough to see you guys get KitKat up and running. I don't know how the afterlife works exactly. Second... What should happen to this forum? I don't want to see it fade away unnoticed. I'm thinking we need to set an official date to lay this forum to rest with all the fanfare and honor that the htc EVO deserves. We could get the guys at xda tv to a special on the OG and maybe a few min of coverage of the EVO day parade. What do you guys think?
[EVO 4G General] xandercusa:
I think that when the time comes for this device to be move to the Legacy and Low Activity group, there should at least be a mention on XDA TV. This device has had a great life, and the community was the best I've ever seen. I don't think I'll be able to find a group like this again.
[EVO 4G General] vonnieglen:
Freedompop BYOD rescued my EVO 4G from a dresser drawer also. I upgraded mine to the unlimited text and talk plan for $4.99 a month. In order to get that plan you have to either message one of the admins on the Freedompop forums or upgrade your account using the app made for wifi only tablets available through the Play Store. I am actually going to give the EVO 4G to my parents once I settle on the best ROM. They are still using flip phones... it is too bad that the call quality is so unpredictable on Freedompop. A lot of times the delay is so bad that we have to end every sentence with "over" to avoid confusion.
[EVO 4G General] randalgibbons:
Is that an EVO?!!

I'm hearing that more than ever these days.

The iconic kickstand is hard to miss.

"How can you stand using such an outdated phone" they say.

Then I show them I'm running KitKat 4.4.4 then I hear WOW!

My EVO is not only still living, IT'S THRIVING!!

Thanks Capt, Vin, Wambo, Evervolv and all those who showed the EVO such love.

"I wonder what a lollipop tastes like"... said my EVO.
[EVO 4G General] tommason1968:
Maybe I'm late to the closing party, but to me the EVO was such a fun device to use. I had to upgrade out of necessity, I dropped it. Up until that time there was nothing that phone was flashed countless times and always worked. I ran with htc all the way up to the m8 before switching to the note 4 of which I will promptly upgrade to a htc if they get in to the phablet market.
[EVO 4G General] PlatinumPenguin:
Its never too late for the closing party! :) I am very much looking forward to the M9. It will probably be the only device I buy as soon as it comes out.
[EVO 4G General] PlatinumPenguin:
I'm actually now conflicted between the M9 and S6 edge. I may see what Devs get what and maybe that will help me decide.
[EVO 4G General] randalgibbons:
good bye og, hello g

Well I did it. I had to put the og down its back (light) went out.

Got a moto g and I couldn't be more pleased with this phone.

It is also the closest any phone has come to evo design and quality.

Gee... No, moto g.
[EVO 4G General] aweskelo:
Amazing this thread is still going. I still occasionally think about the Evo - it is no doubt the macdaddy, the definitive OG of Android.
[EVO 4G General] dilligaf223:
I hate to do this...maybe for old times sake.

I still love my Sprint purchased EVO.

I use it every day.

It still works great.

Recently, I screwed it up and had to do a factory restore.

Now, I lost it showing all the internal memory.

I have never rooted this phone or changed it other than inserting a memory card and a big Sedio battery.

I have used it since 2011 every day and see no reason for a new one.

I need to have all the memory though.

Does anyone remember how to run the software to get it to show all its memory again???

I sure could use a little help on this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Are you:

1) rooted?

2) unlocked (using EZ Unlock v.1.2)?

3) using a custom recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] archangeles:
1) yes both times

2) not the second time (probably why it didnt brick the second time)

3) yes clockworkmod the first time, the second time i used stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
1) Good

2) You need to be unlocked to run custom kernels and/or roms my friend. Here's EZ Unlock thread in case you misplaced the apk:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29698-728-vzw-gs3-ez-recovery-22-a-multi-recovery-flashing-app-ya-dingus/

3) You need a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) to flash kernels/roms/anything from XDA.

Edit: Also backup your IMEI prior to flashing anything in recovery. Here's how to do this, you must be rooted to backup appropriately:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Download EZ Recovery and tap on CWM then flash CWM 6, this version supports our unlocked bootloader.

If you have a bad download, try re-downloading the AOKP rom again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] archangeles:
i got the exact same result

yeah use CWM 6.0.1.0 or somethig like that.

the only thing he didnt mentionw as that you might have a bad download. but that would be hte last thing i try.

Unfortunately many providers throttle users. Verizon for example, will throttle my grandfathered unlimited data! If I use 2+GB/month for a certain number of months, and then am connected to a congested tower, I will be throttled.

I know, confusing.... buuut I do agree that Verizon is doing this MUCH more fairly than ANY other carrier.

Hi

My cousin sent me Need For Speed Most Wanted .apk file.I downloaded the sd data and it works fine but the problem is that everytime when i open it,it needs an internet connection for the license check.My phone is not rooted

What should i do?

Thanx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
1) There's a rule you're breaking by mentioning this on xda.

2) There's no benefit for the xda community that you want to circumvent DRM protection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] billubakra:
1.Sorry for breaking the rule,i didnt know about that

2.I am not getting what you are saying
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
1) No problem, my response is a lot nicer than how the mods will respond to this inquiry.

2) There are a few games (really game developers) that have started instituting mandatory Internet connection in order to actually play their games. EA Sports, Gameloft, and I'm sure a few others do this to cut down on piracy. It verifies the license online then let's you play.

1.Thanx for being so nice

2.Well i read on this forum that this game works fine on other phones and tablets and noone mentioned this license check issue so that is why i asked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
Yeah the forum mods are very very strict on this sort of thing. I got a warning once for simply mentioning "alternative" ways to download something. :p So I don't think you'll get much help here.

And the other guy is right, a lot of game makers, and developers in general, are requiring their apps to check and make sure the app is genuine or whatever, they want to make sure you paid for it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jimieo:
A few days ago I decided to try out ktoon's kernel. I was getting horrible battery life and there is a distinct possibility I did not give it enough time to settle as some have said. One person suggested I get Better Battery Stats, but at the paid app part, I didn't bother and went back to stock kernel.

Since then I have found the thread here and installed it to see what was going on. Fully charged battery unplugged and left idle.. When I woke up I had 8 hours of time on the battery and 92% left.. I was happy with this... A quick game of Angry Birds Star Wars later, and I am down to 88%... Now it has been an hour and a few random things later (Angry Birds Seasons, uninstalling bloat via titanium backup) and I am down to 78%.. 10% gone in an hour?

I am just a bit on the very confused side. I was getting 18 hours or so of decently heavy use prior to flashing a custom kernel. Now, I could just be checking my phone more and not noticing it and causing some bias here, but I am at a loss. One member seems to think I have a hardware problem causing my battery drain and that I should replace my device, but I figure it doesn't hurt to seek a second opinion.

As for the ROM I am on, it is just the stock LJ7 with a few theme tweaks I have done and removed some bloat.

Perhaps I am just looking too deep assuming something is wrong..

EDIT: I just followed a tip by Naddict to stop Google Maps from reporting anything.. Hopefully that helps a bit..

Same I think I get good battery life randomly like for instance any ROM or kernel I try I get random battery life sometimes 10+ hours sometimes 7 or less and I do my best at optimizing my phone to save battery I switch brightness to zero no sync at all juice defender ultimate was also tried lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Could you post kernel alarms. I mentioned the potential for SD issues basically it works this way. You have cached information that doesn't get wiped the program accesses it and basically because for instance the ktoonsez kernel contains newer linaro or the fact it's based on 4.12 those small difference make the cache potentially poisonous.... another example is corruption of the partition causing media scanner to basically endless loop another example network spoofer if it crashes while running corrupts dalvik and requires a wipe. Or your SD card it's failing. Just examples
