What's up guys? I would like to introduce my first EVO ROM. I'm going with a basic name for now, since I really don't know what I want to call it. Any suggestions are welcomed. I will post information on this rom here but all future ROM's and info will be posted on my blog Choc's Blog.

I want to start off by saying thanks to the following board members:

Flipzmode: For providing us with the stock evo ruu zip file

MagnusRagnarok: Helping me understand android better and working with me on Hero/Evo Roms.

regaw_leinad: Helping me with the quickboot fix

JsChiSurf: Providing me with assistance on hero roms and info so we can hopefully deodex EVO files. (Magnus - we will get this working!) LOL

If, I forgot anyone please let me know. Now onto the fun stuff.

ROM INFO

Base: Supersonic_1.32.651.1

Update.zip: stock-evo-update-zip

Root: You have to be rooted to flash this ROM. I rooted via the Toast option...not sure how the Unrevoked root works or if you can flash roms. Anyone one who tries it let me know if it's successful

NOTE: Make sure you wipe before flashing.

so this has no option for live wallpapers w/ the apk's you removed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
Geez, im busy for one day, and you go and ul a new rom?:D:D:DGood Job. I was CRAZY busy today getting stuff ready for my new car:D We'll get the deodex. Ill be in the chan tomorrow if you want to work on it. Nice Icons.​
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sebrina:
I can see why you removed some of the bloatware but why in the world would you remove the above?

I know it's a matter of opinion but personally live wallpapers isn't an HTC or Sprint thing it's an ANDROID thing and a lot of us enjoy it.

Voice search & dialing, pdf viewer, ringtone trimmer, & sound recorder these are all things alot of people will use at one point or another, these are not exactly bloatware since many users will go to the market and download a similar app at some point.

I dunno maybe it's just me but it seems like all the hatred towards HTC Sense elements is getting a little bit crazy. These apps aren't even exactly considered bloatware unlike amazon or the other Sprint garbage that startup in the background everytime you boot the phone.

Either way thanks for the release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
ummm its his rom he built it to the way he wants it
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
"bloatware" is a relative term. Obviously to him, the apks he rm'd were "bloatware". Did you leave those files in YOUR last evo rom? If not, you probably should have.(FYI i LOVE my lwp, but i did not comprise this rom, nor have i ran it, and that is MY choice)

​
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
out of curiosity, why do you insist on posting with abnormal colors, size, and format? every post i've seen from you hurts my eyes. i could understand if you were trying to make a point, but (no offense) not all of your posts are so insightful that each one warrants such notation
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomit12:
Wasn't going to say anything myself, but since you posted the thought already... :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
Try to stay on topic. Please dont insult my intelligence with such snarky comments. I NEVER SAID ANYTHING I HAVE EVER SAID WAS INSIGHTFUL, nor is it implied by myself. If it bothered your eyes so badly then why would you quote? Wheatever YOU gather is your own perspective. Try to remain objective. This site is viewed by many different types of ppl, with many different perspectives.As ive told more than 1000 others, it has NOTHING to do with my mood or some insightful point i am trying to make. It is a display of our freedom of expression. IT is more asthetically pleasing to MY eyes. I am an art major. If we were not allowed to use them then i dont think the forum would provide them. I am from AMERICA. Are you really crying about fonts, sizes and formats of my posts?in a forum? on the internet?.....Any of my questions were purely rhetorical, PLEASE do not post answers, as this is the last response you will receive from me.......NOW BACK TO TOPIC....CHOCOMATIC, i think i have it:D:D:D Ill send you some test apks in the chan or on gtalk. Get a hold of me tomorrow.

​
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomit12:
I think, in your rant, you missed the quoted poster's point. Whether you realize it or not, that style of posting denotes to others that you believe your post is somehow more exceptional or important than everyone else's in the thread, and deserves some special recognition. Since basically no one else in the forum does it, it also shows a lack of respect for others, since you're putting greater emphasis on your posts.

Before you point this out yourself - I'm not saying this is your intention, nor accusing you of doing anything intentional or malicious. I'm simply pointing out the message it sends to others, and why it prompted timothydonohue's response...and possibly the 1000's of others you mentioned. :D

[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
I didn't bother reading, since people are started to talk ****.. but forthose who don't know, live wallpaper picker cans be dl from market. Thx for rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] Saturn2K:
I have to kind of agree. It's kind of like posting in ALL CAPS. People can use big text when they're uploading instructions or a FAQ, it makes common sense. But to use it with no meaning? That's almost closer to "PoSTiNg LiKe ThiS." I just assumed he was legally blind or something, no offense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joey3002:
ok, back on topic..

OP thanks for the ROM.. its not my cup of tea since some of the apps you removed I use.. but I still appreciate the effort.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamshaked:
Simple solution, can we get the removes uploaded as a zip?

Let's not piss off the devs, if he chooses to post flamboyantly, why does that really bother you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] munsterrr:
Effing people.....WOW. Good work OP on putting out some of your work and sharing it with the world.

The other two with their internet girl fight need to take that business some where else. That makes you and the community look bad when outsiders consider a place like XDA. Makes us all look like a bunch of whining 4 year old women that would rather fight then share knowledge.

fight it out through PM or shut up.

BACK on to topic. Thanks alot again. I will try this out when i get home.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toenail78:
i have to say reading what was removed and added put a smile on my face.. thanks for the rom, looking forward to your work!!! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmomoman:
For those who don't like choice please move on to the IPHONE it's that way-----------> (0)

Magnus chooses to use his font and display his artistic style is for his own amusement or enjoyment not for yours. If you feel that it encroaches on your right to view text in a totally vanilla format then don't view it and skip to the next post. It's not complicated.

Also don't be RUDE yourself and jack the OP's ROM thread. This is not the what you feel when Magnus uses his "crazy fonts" thread.

Thank you OP for the ROM!
[EVO 4G Android Development] toenail78:
dont know what the deal is but i have been trying to get this rom however 4share is keeping me in a loop.. i have waiting 90 seconds who knows how many times because the download link that appears after the wait just takes me back.. basically going into a continuous loop.. really hoping theres actually a problem and not user error cause that would be sorta embarassing since ive been doing this for a while.. can someone give me a heads up and tell me what im doing wrong, six ppl have gotten the file so far but im not sure how.. was using linux and that wasnt working so i tried with windows and im getting the same results!!!

i even registered and still nothing... wtf

not even in internet explorer is it working!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
LOL...This is the ROM that I told you that was pretty much ready to go. :). Yeah, I was in the chan for a while and you weren't there. I figured you were busy. I should be able to get on later today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Very nice! Hit me up. I need to re-download the ubuntu iso again. It wouldn't load on vbox.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Like you said it's more of a personal preference. There might be other peeps out there that like it the same way. All I'm trying to do in contribute to the forum and get some ROMS out there for peeps that are not comfortable with using the command line to remove apps etc. I can easily add those and upload another ROM. I will do that when I get home so peeps have another option.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kooper113:
Exactly. I'll be honest, I've already been removing apps and such through command line but let me very honest her for a moment- I am so damn lazy! :rolleyes: When I saw this ROM this morning my reaction was "oh awesome someone did it all for me already" ;)

Thanks for the work, plan to be putting it on my phone once I get home from work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
That's weird. I just tried to login to my 4shared account and it's just sitting there. Maybe 4shared is having some problems. Starting working while I was typing this. I will download it and put up a 2nd download option.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Thanks. I will be adding a 2nd rom with live wallpapers etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toenail78:
im sorta hoping the sites having issues cause this is embarrassing not knowing how to download this thing

my wait time changed to 260 seconds instead of 90 now.. wow

UPDATE: i was doing everything right.. its working now (im not a tard)
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Yeah, I noticed that. I'm downloading now and will post it on another site also. I just saw that Flipz posted the update.zip stock rom with the update that was released on the day of the Evo launch. I will work off of that base on my next rom which I can hopefully put together tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
Indeed. But when i returned, i think i got the deodex. I need you to test the apps folder to be sure:D:D:D

:(

Ill try to throw together 2 zips. 1 to add lwp picker, and some cool lwp's. 1 to add back all the missing apps. That should leave no stone un-turned. If i have time ill toss swype in too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
Deodexing now. Ill send you the files to test......
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Sounds good. I will make that 2nd rom so peeps don't have to flash a file twice. Trying to make it ez for everyone out there :). Flipz just released the new update file with the update that fixed the sdcard isssue. I will be working off of that one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Are you just deodexing the apps folder? I guess the other day we could have just tried that and see if the rom would load...since we were having issues with the framework folder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
Maybe i can send you some files for it then.

apps,framework.apk, and then htc.resources doesnt need it. There we go:D

im in the chan if youre not busy. Do i have your gtalk?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Very nice! chocmatic@gmail.com
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
FYI: I have posted a second download link on the first page.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toenail78:
loved the blue android market icon after install (YAYY) went back to green after logging in (BOO)

and i love the new icons.. hell yeah
[EVO 4G Android Development] DROIDNP:
Can anyone please confirm if 4G is working on this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
really? I will look into it. I wonder if it has to do with some of the files not being deodexed. I know some settings wont stick when files are not deodexed. Mag is working on getting the files deodexed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
I'm not in a 4G area (los angeles) so I can't test it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aLdaRiS:
hEy mAn GrEaT rOoM ill TrY iT lAtEr
[EVO 4G Android Development] DROIDNP:
Ok thanks when I get home I will installed it and test 4G and than post my results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] laydros:
Excellent. I have been waiting for the ROM work to move from the bleeding edge proof of concept stuff to people starting some real baking.

I'm quite new to the android world, so maybe this wouldn't work, but it is possible to just distribute apks for everything you pull out. That way someone could start from the barest rom possible, then add back in what they want? Or are these system level enough they can't just be reinstalled through a file manager?

On another note, I'm still deciding if I can get away with keeping this phone (my wife and I have a family plan with AT&T and even if I close my account there and move to Sprint, the difference in price is quite a bit monthly). I currently have the unrevoked root going on to mess with root stuff a bit, because I know I can just uninstall the application and the phone will still be stock for Sprint to return it. If I install an updated rom like this, can I later re-flash to stock without any signs things were changed? Can I "un-root," if I do toasts root so I can flash it?

Thanks for any feedback on this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
1. We would need some kind of kitchen to be able to add selected apps that have been removed. I can make flashable files or like you stated you can install the ones you want via file manager.

2. Yes, you can always go back to the stock rom. Just remember that you will lose all your current configuration when loading this rom. You can try to flash this with unrevoked and let me know if it works. If not, you can use toast root method and flash file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brennen.exe:
Is this not causing a force close on Accounts & sync in your rom?

Try near the Staples Center, there should still be a 4G demo booth there. Not sure though, since the EVO demo/tour thing might be over now that the phone has been released. I'd test it for you, but I'm out in Orange County.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
No f/c issues by removing stock & widget.

Hmmmm, I would have to drive down there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toenail78:
just install titanium, im not sure how the free version works but i paid the 3 bucks and its awesome.. i just backup my stuff then after flashing a new rom and inputting my gmail information and install titanium from the marketplace and do the restore and all of my user configurations and apps are all installed back into my device just as if i never flashed... best $3 ive ever spent.. a must have if you into custom roms!!!

hey choc, when those files are detoxed were you gonna update us or just replace the current ones that are available? im thinking i liked that blue marketplace better..
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
Amen. I was so happy with the functionality of Titanium that I paid the guy six bucks. And I'm normally really cheap.

BTW: "detoxed" = best typo I have seen all day
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
I realize this is an old quote but I have to take exception to this. I lived with an iPhone for a year and after jailbreaking, it was WAY WAY WAY more visually customizable than any android phone I have seen. This could have been because of the enormous over-popularity of the device, leading to a relatively large developer community. Regarless, Winterboard was one of the most useful theming tools I have seen for any device/OS and I wish I was able to find something similar for Android.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spaum:
Facebook linking with contacts glitch?

Hi, thanks for the ROM I just installed it today. Everything works great but there is one issue I am having. When I go to link one of my contacts with a facebook contact, the only choices that I get from the facebook contacts are A-L. This means that I can't link any of my facebook contacts that have a name that begins with the letter M-Z.

Its probably a operator error on my part, if so I apologize for wasting anyones time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
hope this makes sense, i havent rooted my EVO yet but to answer your question:

if this is being flashed through an update.zip in recovery mode, unrevoked by itself will not work for two reasons: 1. it doesn't modify the stock recovery which requires an HTC key signed .zip to be applied and 2. we have no other way in the stock recovery to gain write access to /system .

both of these are bypassed through the PC36IMG.zip userdebug RUU released from toast and his custom recovery patch.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toenail78:
oops, your right.. the price was $5.99 USD.. checked my paypal, guess i was thinking of something else, either way it was well worth the money.. oh and uhhh yeah, typo haha, thats what it was just a typo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Thanks for the info. I hadn't read up on unrevoked root process etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hoshmosh:
Nicee Removed all the crap I found useless...Trying it out in a bit. Will come back in a day with a progress about battery and all that other good stuff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
FYI. I have updated the first post with some of the files that I didn't include in the original ROM. File can be flashed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kykiskly:
Can someone make a signed update that will only inlcude Live wallpaper + picker? PLZZZ and would there be a reason why Gallery3D will not load the albums in the SD card? it just opens but it will not show any content.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hoshmosh:
A few bugs for me so far. The rom will continually sync for some odd reason, It will not stop even with a reboot and turning off all the processes that require sync like gmail and so on.

SMS bug, will not send, will send, however will take 5 minutes to recieve.

And Market, It's really slow, works but takes 2 minutes to get to each page.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Thanks for the update. I have not experienced any of the issues stated above.

Can anyone else confirm that this is happening to them so I can take a look at it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kykiskly:
See I thought it was just me, but I have to agree with you, Market takes a lot to load now and about the SMS, ummm still need to test that. I was able to receive an MMS last night without issues, and I can SMS all day long.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kykiskly:
The market is a def issue, my sms and mms are working but will double check again, will let you know in a few. Now, i have a tiny request :D, can you make a

zip (update) that will only include the live wallpaper features. I missed my spermies live wallpapers :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Live+picker

You should be able to view files on sd card with no issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kykiskly:
Thanks, I can confirm that sms is fully working :D.

Hey, do you know why Gallery3D is not loading the albums in the SD Card?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Not sure. I'm trying to duplicate it. It seems to be working fine. I tried a couple sd cards. I'm assuming you tried removing and reconnecting sd card.

I'm going to flash this rom again and see what happens
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kykiskly:
Ok, tried flashing the Live W. zip and got the following

E: cant symlink /system/bin/cat

E: Failure at line 10: symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/cat

Installation aborted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toenail78:
Ive been using this rom since yesterday morning and because i drool over this phone i pretty much use it for the entire day.. my ONLY issue has been the marketplace icon turning from blue to green to which i wouldnt even call that a "bug"... Excellent Rom!!

Yeah..i seen that. Thanks. We have the the newest flipz rom apks deodex. Working on deodexing all the framework folder files. I could deodex this one and start all over. I might as well just create a rom off the newest update.

Ok it seems SMS was a false. After about 10 minutes my sms seems to send instantly :]. Dunno what went wrong the first 10 minutes [not after installing the rom of course].

But yes the market is an issue, and the weird sync thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Alright guys...I reloaded the ROM earlier today so I can replicate any issues that you guys are having. So far everything is working as it should. When I loaded the rom I performed a wipe of all the options on the list. The 3rd or 4th one doesn't go all the way through. Not sure if that's the reason I have not ran into any issues. Can someone try this and let me know if everything works okay for them after.
