You should expect to see a snappier system and increased battery life by using this ROM.

I do not own an Evo so please give me as much feedback as possible to work out the kinks if there are any.

All of my work is available in ROM Manager as well as the baseband update provided here on xda by Toast.

About GodMode Script:

Typing "godmode" into adb shell or a terminal emulator will give access to and allow you to edit many parts of the system using any file manager.

For example, if you wish to delete system apps you can simply run "godmode", open Astro File Manager, long press the app, and delete it (don't forget to back it up first!). Also, if you wish to edit (using Astro) the build.prop, sysctl.conf, or install-recovery.sh files "godmode" will allow you to do so. In short, "godmode" can turn Astro File Manager into Root Explorer.

Note To Users:

The only minor imperfections you will find in this ROM are an occasional fc of com.htc.bgp (will stop after initial setup is complete) and the next button in the setup wizard (that you only see once after you wipe data & cache and install the rom) has an 8 over it. As mentioned, both of these quirks will only be seen for a short amount of time. I will be working on resolving them soon.

Note To Devs:

The only HTC Sense apps I was unable to eliminate (without bugs) are the HTC LockScreen (the vanilla lockscreen causes issues), HTC SetupWizard (needed for mounting sdcard), and the HTC People apps (needed for contacts to sync). If you know of any method or would like to help me eliminate these please let me know. I am new to HTC devices and would love to know what additional apps can be removed without harm also.
