Yup, just install the superuser app from the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
if you look in the OP, you'll see the program you're describing. its called superuser.apk. I have a link to it in my OP for users with concerns over root security access.

i don't personally take donations, but unrevoked does direct their donations to a great organization which works to preserve the legal right we have to root a device we own.

http://action.eff.org/site/TR?team_id=1570&fr_id=1040&pg=team

this will definitely not touch HBOOT.

an easy way to tell is, download the .zip and look for hboot_0.9x.0000.img type file. if there is no file with a name similar to hboot*.img then your hboot will not be touched!
[EVO 4G Android Development] m03sizlak:
Honestly I think you'll be better off with the superuser app from the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
this is semi-off topic for my thread, but heres to the effort of keeping information accurate and updated.

i see two main superuser apps in the market. one doesn't appear to be maintained or updated, SuperUser whitelist.

if the link in my OP is followed, it goes to the thread for the author, ChainsDD, who is now maintaining the more common and updated Superuser apk. he maintains and updates a thread on XDA as well as publishes the same Superuser apk in the market.

link from my OP - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828

I hope I'm correct as I do my best to only have correct and updated information in my OP. If I'm wrong, please help me and provide the correct information. I will definitely update my OP!
[EVO 4G Android Development] m03sizlak:
You are correct, the app you want is the "Superuser" app from the market, by "ChainsDD".
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
as usual JK everything works like a champ.

man i reallu want you to do a full on modded rom. just a real show stopper.

maybe even use the new sense from the HD phone or what ever it was. supposed to be pretty slick. although it isnt working that well now from what i ak reading.

anyways. always a pleasure to use your rom, even if it is just the stock odex
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:

anyone else see them?
[EVO 4G Android Development] KarlMarsh:
This ROM is exactly what I wanted. Thanks very much for posting an Odex version of the stock ROM.

BTW, if anyone is curious this ROM uses about 50mb less storage space than the DeOdexed version which to me is a very big deal.

Thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] mobilemaniac:
Thanks Joey. That's good to know. And thank you for doing this for the community. It seems like it's getting harder to find rooted stock roms in the sea of customized roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tom2164:
completely stock system to be customized however the user wants

Hello joeykrim,

Just a simple question I think, when you say "completely stock system to be customized however the user wants". I take that to be a system that I can install all the aosp apk's and run on the base htc software. That is what I would like to do with the exception of the launcher, I prefer Launcher Pro. It that possible with your rom by just adding the apk's to the sd card and installing with apk installer?

Thanks

Tom
[EVO 4G Android Development] zenmasta:
Nice! This is exactly waht I wanted! I will try this ROM.

Just have a few quick questions:

1. Can I remove the sprint crap like the NASCAR and AMAZON ?

2. Are you able to download the update for the apps? I am on Fresh3.1 and that is one of my big issues. My Sprint TV does not work because it is asking me to update it and it faisl everytime.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
yea, i know from experience, if you wipe /data they go away. i never had a chance to narrow down which /data setting left behind from previous ROMs have those appear. feel free to dig around in /data for it and let us know?

short answer yes.

longer answer, it is possible but its not as straight forward due to the method HTC has used to integrate their Sense UI. there are threads though in the dev section, which show how to sense dialer/contacts with AOSP ones. a quick search should return some results but the exact details are probably outside the scope of this thread.

1. yea, you can remove all script crap. in fact, i have a nice web site which generates a .zip file to automate the process!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700621

updated my OP with this info!

2. i think the issue with sprint tv update is universal and deals more with sprint and their application than the ROM the application executes in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
i updated my sprint TV and voicemail normally if that helps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
use root explorer - easiest way IMO to remove apps you don't want. also everything updates fine for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zenmasta:
Awesome. Thanks so much. I will try the ROM tonight.

2 more questions:

How is the battery life?

Are you guys using a different kernel ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zenmasta:
Sweet! Thanks.

Gonna give it a shot later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:

EDIT: SORRY...didn't read enough...this was fixed on someone else's by downloading another version of busybox....I just tried it and fixed mine too :)

Thanks so much for your work Joeykrim!!

Anyone trying another kernel on this with some benefit?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rrascal:
Thank You sir

Downloaded & installed unrevoked forever & ROM from OP 1st one listed. Nand (ra) backup. applied unrevoked forever then ROM from recovery as directed.

Didn't wipe anything (took a chance) running beautifully.

Update of SU from market would not work.

Went to SU site listed in OP, downloaded new version and applied via recovery - Perfect.

I am not tech savy and appreciate greatly your fine efforts and precise instructions. Read the whole thread - nice to see you stay active for us folks and help.

ROM Manager OTA Update?

I see that your ROM is available for download through ROM Manager. Does it also support ROM Manager's OTA update feature? I get an error saying the feature is not supported when I select it in the menu. I just want to make sure it wasnt me since I installed your current ROM over the last rooted OTA without a wipe.

Camcorder crashing the phone

Hi,

Anyone having the phone crash when you try to use the camcorder?

The phone would freeze and get very hot.

Tried 3 times and every time I had to shut the phone off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
Hey joey,l, I have been running this rom since it's last update and it has been the best rom so far. I like that I dont get nagged by su to allow permission to apps that require root.

Anyways, I was wondering if you were ever going to add tweaks like zipalign at boot or other such rom tweaks to make the rom a bit faster or what not. Thanks.

[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
yes, i can be installed over the previous version with wiping anything so all your settings and apps will be retained.

software number change is due to HTC releasing a new OTA update!

What I meant was will it re-install apps that I had previously removed (like the sprint apps) and the answer is yes.

Only wiped cache and dalvik. Retained all my installed apps (angry birds for example) and information but re-installed the sprint apps that I removed previously.

Any way around this? Thanks.

Yes, whenever you download new versions of a Rom, with Astro File Manager, you can go into a .zip file and edit it (meaning you can go into the app folder and delete bloatware before you flash the .zip.)

New EVO firmware

My EVO is pestering me about new firmware to download, 3.30.651.3, so it's .1 higher then this one. I disabled auto notify, but figured I would post the obvious question of will there be an update, or is the official version not adding much?

Keep up the good work! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
lol. great question. its nice to see your phone is working just like mine because i'm also getting the update notification. i've been waiting for the official RUU to be posted but haven't seen it yet.

maybe today i'll manually run the update and release an updated version of the rom.

the changes from 3.30.651.2 to 3.30.651.3 from what i've read and been told are very minor and only apply to rev4 EVO phones. although the rest of us can still run the update, it only fixes a camera power bug present in rev 4 phones.

on a side note, it posts like these from polite and grateful users which keep me motivated in putting the extra effort for public release of my ROM. thanks!

Yep 5.1.

Now to test the newest stock kernel again after I finally got stock #11 to run the way I like :blah:
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
Initial impressions on hw003:

Root works joeykrim style which is the best thing I like about it.

Kernel doesn't seem to be any different from stock #11 in terms of performance BUT I managed to get my stock kernel #11 modules working on the newer kernel so that saves me some time. I stopped flashing custom kernels and just extend the stock ones now.

3g, 4g, wifi all working. Haven't tested the blockbuster app yet (the wm drm is what I'm interested in) but I will once I tweak the rom.

Sense is sense so no need to go there.

Functionality wise most of the mods that I have installed were still working (no phone dialer vibration for example) but this is just a quick overview after flashing it soon after the link was available.

The 4g "tap to scan" option is definitely a step in the right direction in terms of alleviating those "dc connect error" errors that people were saying drains the battery.

Great job on the root joey. Now if you could shoot me a pm about my pm I would really appreciate it. Thanks man.

Joey, we need a PRI update~! Did the RUU contain an rcdata.img or not?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
Flash the original rom that you had when you made the nandroid. When that rom loads restore your nandroid.

That is what I did when my nandroids don't want to restore. It's tricky but if you try to restore a nandroid over a different system.img it will seem as if your nandroid is corrupt.

I always flash the original rom of the nandroid before determining the nandroid is corrupt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] baknblack:
question. I'm already running joeys rom from september 2010. Can I just wipe cache & dalvik and flash the new rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
as stated in the OP, radio and PRI updates are separate and optional. they are not included in the ROM and can be found elsewhere on the forum.

if there is demand for this, i can upload a file to do them separately.

that is exactly what i did.

the only issue i had was with THC stock rom swype conflicting with the official beta swype. i removed htc stock rom swype as noted in the OP and it worked fine.

best of luck! let us know how it turns out!

I think this is just the update.zips. Ota's are just sprint signed update.zips. So there is one to upgrade each software because they are different. They will end up in the same place however. Because the rom is a full flash, there is no need for two versions.

Based on this are you fully supporting updating to the new hboot? I am sure you can see why a lot of us are hesitant. Just wanna be sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
Wow that was a total guess and I was right!
[EVO 4G Android Development] indagroove:
Unless you are a developer and need the bootloader (hboot) version which supports fastboot commands via adb, AND have installed Unrevoked Forever -- I would personally update all radio, pri, nv, hboot, kernel, rom etc.. to the latest and greatest per HTC. Then go the even better CM6.1.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Not a developer and rooted using old toast method, no unrevoked. I appreciate the reply.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
In calk thread somebody just posted they lost root by flashing new hboot... any ideas as to why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] indagroove:
If you are already rooted, and have not updated to the latest radio yet, installing unrevoked forever is easy. Do it now.

They did not have unrevoked forever installed most likely.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
So I have the newest radio. Can I downgrade to the older one, flash forever, upgrade hboot through an unroot and ota or ruu/pc36img.zip flash and then upgrade radio again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] indagroove:
Seems theoretically possible, but I can't say for sure if you can downgrade the radio since I haven't tried. Seems like a couple of extra steps too though. If you are able to downgrade the radio, and install unrevoked forever, you will be good to go to simply install hboot 2.10 without losing root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
Is there a flash able hboot 2.10 floating around? If there is , could somebody link it? That would help. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Yes, its on calkulins thread first page. I'm in similar boat as you, wanna upgrade hboot but hearing people lose root is you don't have unrevoked forever but since I already updated radio I need to downgrade. Were you successful in downgrading radio?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
I haven't tried yet. And If I don't do it right now, I can't for a week. Let me see how easy it is.
