[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] money69:
Im looking to pick one of these up. What I would like to know is the following if anyone knows.

1. Im planning on using this on Simple Mobile, how can I tell if the slide Im getting has the update already installed as part of it? Will the update still be sent if Im using a Simple Mobile simcard?

2. Anyway to install this update manually?

3. Whens 2.2 coming out for this phone? Looking at news stories about this phone online, looks like it was expected months ago.

4. Is there a fully functional Froyo ROM out there for this phone?

5. Can the expresso UI be changed to the normal HTC Sense UI easily or is this part of the ROM or????
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whoareyou:
Yes it will work on that network as long as its GSM (phone must be unlocked)

NO you will not get the ota pushed,

CM6 is stable

Espresso cant become standerd sense ui

U can manualy flash any new official update,

If you want standard sense install legend2slide beta

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_TX:
What makes you prefer Baked Snack? I'm not doubting your choice, just curious what makes it better than the others.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dissenter:
Been using Calk's builds for a long time now. Seems my taste in ROMs is very similar to his. Keep in mind "the best" is extremely subjective.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_TX:
Of course... It seems there are a few popular ones out there, and then a lot of "second tier" ROM's. What makes Calk's builds "the best" for you?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dissenter:
I like the combination of performance and battery life of the kernel he chose to use. He also does an awesome job getting a bunch of graphical changes for the "cool" factor too.

Beyond the ROM, Calk contributes a lot of other things to the community. He's been making kitchen and kitchen development tools for the Windows Mobile groups for a while and I was very pleased to see him come to the Android team at the same time I made the leap. It's a big change for people like me that have been Windows Mobile sideline hackers for a while and it's really nice to see a familiar face.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_TX:
Good info... I'm currently running CM6 and loving it, but I'm torn what to try next... EViO, Baked Snack and VaelPak are all possibilities.

None of the ROM's really have the exact thing I want. Ideally, I'd like a ROM that has the following:

- Sense E-mail App

- Sense Calendar App

- Sense Lock Screen

- Sense Status Bar (with Custom Battery Icon)

- AOSP Contacts & Dialer

- AOSP Messaging (SMS/MMS)

- AOSP Gallery

- 4G Support

- FM Radio

- WiFi/Wired Tether

- Sprint Bloatware Removed (apart from Sprint TV)

- ADK Laucher (easy to add after the fact)

Any ideas on how to get this? I wish I was a Dev... I would build my own :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTNiggle:
I would think that this wouldn't be that tough. Try starting with a Sense ROM, pull out the dialer/messaging/gallery and whatever else you don't want, then install the AOSP apps you want. I'm sure the apk's can be found around here.

Simple Sense ROM with great firmware, and a couple nice apps tacked on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_TX:
Is it as simple as just uninstalling the Sense apk's that I don't want and installing the AOSP ones? If so, I can probably restore the apps I want from a Titanium backup of CM6. For some reason I thought it was more involved that that - especially with the AOSP Contacts & Dialer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_s:
+1

Agree entirely with Dissenter. Calk brings a lot to the table.

Really enjoyed Hero's early EVO work and Baked is still great. Also used Cyanogen on my G1 forever, but Calk's stuff has been stable, fast and clean (at least for me) as long or longer than anyone else on EVO. It is a beautiful thing. I had problems with most of the other ROMs, but for the EVO, Hero and Calk always seem to have there kitchens working.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_TX:
So, what would you say are the pros/cons of EViO vs. Baked Snack?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crucial929:
there is a fine line between the "best rom" and my "favorite rom"

best i have had was a stock rooted rom, granted it wasnt fast but it had everything working and no bugs that i could find ...

my fav has been CM6 ... fast and snappy ... but lacking the Fm radio and 4G i disire ...

i have a hard time finding a big difference between sense roms ... but thats just me, i'm slow on this stuff still

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlGmanlx:
Evio cured my flashaholic's issues for a while, but with Baked Snack update and the Evio update its tough, i have to give the slight edge to fresh right now because of the new release, that thing is sick. I am pumped once that thing hits the street its going to be on! Too many choices is a good thing as i think the Evo is THE android device to have with all the Dev support

My two cents

1. Fresh 3.28

1.a Evio

1.a Baked Snacks

YMMV

Netarchys burnt rom is the best I've ever used, and work extremely well with his kernel. Although when 4g works with cm6, I'll switch, cause I'm not a huge fan of sense
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjwaste:
I voted Fresh. Flipz puts out roms that just work, with minimal fuss, and no fear of breakage. The latest (3.2.0.0) appears to be built from an unreleased OTA using a stock kernel that has been a good improvement for battery life. Before that, I should've stuck with his work so that my Wimax didn't get hosed - took me 3 days of trial and error to fix it.

FWIW, I've donated in equal amounts to Flipz and the guys maintaining Damage Control, so the "real" (wallet) vote is to two ROMs/three individuals as far as I'm concerned.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutzy:
No love for virus? I've been using his roms (Revo) and it is smooth as silk plus he updates them almost daily.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangdriverdoug:
I think that CM6 is the fastest without question, using a bare bones android base makes the phone crazy fast and smooth. When I'm at work and using the phone I can zip through it so fast it's almost like the phone is one step ahead of me. If 4g, HDMI (that is coming very soon per Cyanogen) and FM would work it would really be the perfect rom. Also whats cool about it is that you can add the apps and configure it that way you want..it's a pretty bare bones rom. The Snap team is all over the kernels...and the kernels that get released are just rediculous as far as performance goes, they are getting really impressive battery life and benchmarks (I pulled a 1919 quadrant) and it seems that everyone can overclock to 119 and 122 with no issues...on a sense rom my overclock is capped at 115 before I get reboots.

4g is now available in my area so I'm going to be running the closest to a non-sense rom I can find that has 4g. So I am looking at a lot of different roms now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
i prefer Damage control (yes i know they havent updated ina while but the rom is solid and i have had no issues and dont see a lot that needs upgrading so its ok they havent been as frequent as others) and Evio.

I personally remove the sense ui and most HTC widgets etc so both run pretty quick (just a small notch slower then CM 6 in my opinion) and give great battery life. I also get my 4g hdmi and fm radio. I guess basically you could say i run a senseless DC or EVIO depending on my mood and if i feel like flashing.

I chose Google Moderator simply because it allows more than one answer (some of us support more than one ROM) and it allows "second tier" ROMs to add themselves to the list without me babysitting it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VSack:
Also I forgot to mention: The numbers on this poll seem to match very closely to what we are seeing on the Moderator poll. CM6 is the most popular ROM and clearest AOSP choice, Fresh is the tops in Sense with Baked, Evio, and Ava all having strong showings as well.

I flashed the new CM6 ROM and also flashed the Elegant Steele Theme, and I must say it is looks AMAZING.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_s:
That is a very tough, very close call. For me, it came down to the speed. I'd say they are pretty close, but there was a point when EViO just moved better on my EVO. I haven't flashed Baked since 1.4, but I might check it out. The thing is running EViO and Kings #6 plus all my customization, I have amazing battery life and super speed so I'm not really inclined to flash anything else for awhile.

I don't think you can go wrong with either. I tried out CM6 for a day and it just didn't do it for me overall. I do love all of Cyanogen's mods and customization opportunities. Wish Calc could get those into EViO. I'd probably never leave LOL

Hey all, NTT DOCOMO just pushed out OTA R1EA029 to my Xperia...still Android 1.6 however. I was not able to go through and notice any differences, however it does appear to break root. Since it broke root and I don't have a second phone to take pictures I have no photographic proof as of now. If desired, I will attempt to dump and upload for the community.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xeviro:
You can try to root again using the root exploit APK, hopefully its still work with the new firmware.

The best thing to do with new firmware i think is download the Benchmark app, then we compare to latest firmware benchmark point. If its significantly higher, then people might get moved to use it then you dump the ROM without wasting effort.

But if its roughly the same, i think most of us will wait. its 20 days more for Android 2.1 Update from SE :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dundun1701:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ttxdragon:
Actually not quite that much 'old news' as R1...029 seems to be the highest any R1 has ever gone. So, wouldn't count it out that easily.

guy2545, may I ask whether SP-Mode applications are coming with that update or anything else?

You have to change your 3G AP to the new one as well.

Nor is it going to give you an i-mode browser. Was just at an izakaya just now and their coupon offer doesn't work with smart phone, meh.... so a regular keitai is still handy for some services.

For everyone else that just wants it to happen, just state how much you would donate if we had a working Sense port. Make sure to include any stipulations like Camera, Bluetooth, Data or just Rosie running.

Before you run off to say it cannot be done, look at this:
