I think most of the people in the thread got sandy because of the original title so you got blasted. The initial title made it sound like the kernel was wiping your data :)

You didn't know it was closed beta, now you do, no real harm no foul. Supercurio has a batch of beta testers who are reporting bugs to him as they find them. If you find something show stopping you're probably better off contacting him directly to report (but don't expect a response). If he knows about it he'll disregard it, if he doesn't it gives him something to look for. He's publicly stated that there will be no support for this build of the kernel- so use at your own risk!

Now lets let this thread sink to the bottom and die please :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monetmonet:
So, a Huge thanks to all those who worked on the method to get 2.2 rooted. I followed the directions and I am here, rooted. I used the Amon_Ra for my recovery back to 2.2. Now, this might be a stupid question, but What now? My phone looks the same, and I still can't remove sprint stuff. What are the next steps, I know i can install a custom "higher speed ROM", but can i just work from where i am now? I have the Superuser icon, but when i open it, i get "no apps in list" ? what do i need to install to start taking advantage of all that rooting has to offer?

Thanks for your replies!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carguy4471:
Choose a new fancy ROM, download it to your SD card and use Amon to flash it. Easy as pie.

They are many great ROMs from many great developers here. Everyone has their preferences, mine is Fresh. I've never been dissapointed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddublu:
Agreed.....I can tell a big difference in speed and battery life but now what? I also can't delete any of the Sprint bloatware and I am on Baked Sense 1.6.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
I don't understand: Why would you root your phone if you don't even know what it does? Not trying to be a ****; I'm just saying.

Firstly, if you rooted, all you did was revert your phone back to 2.1 so you no longer have Froyo. (edit: nevermind.....I see you want back to 2.2; I'm guessing you flashed a 2.2 stock rooted rom to your phone). The superuser app is empty because it hasn't given superuser permission to any apps that require it. If you want to see your superuser app in action, download ShootMe or screenshot from the market, and you will see the app asks for superuser permission.

I rooted my phone because I thought it was ridiculous to pay Sprint $30 a month to use the wireless tether option that was built into the Evo by HTC and which I already paid for when I purchased the phone. Now I use my root privileges to do a lot more, but my point is that I had a reason to root my phone to begin with. Download wireless tether and try it.

If you want to uninstall apps, download Titanium Back up (that's what I use anyway) and go to town removing stuff. I am not sure if the free version removes apps or not because I got the paid one from the beginning, but now that you are rooted, it is well worth the price for the premium license. You can use this app to move stuff to your SD card and free up your phone's internal memory, too. You can also back up all your apps and system data which is handy when you flash from one rom to another and you have to do a full wipe of your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carguy4471:
Some of the ROMs have all that stuff removed for you, such as Fresh.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliWay:
First thing to do: Head over to the developer forum and flash Netarchy's kernel, which will uncap your FPS. Do it ASAP, DO IT NAO!!!!1!!1!1!eleven. Then come back here and tell us how amazing it is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monetmonet:
thanks for the input

Thanks for all the replies! Rugedraw - i especially appreciate your indepth answer despite the fact that you are clearly somewhat annoyed by the question.:)

Here's the thing. The android revolution is ongoing and picking up steam. and i could talk about that all day long. Opensource, kick blackberry in the berry, and send apple back to where it was after its huge popularity boom in the 90s - struggling to overcome its fatal closed system flaw. Beyond that, I bought my Evo for 2 reasons. My 16 month son threw my blackberry into the toilet (nice work - i now appreciate it), and my tech guy at work has been raving about his rooted Droid x2. as of 10 days ago it didn't seem possible to root the 2.2 froyo, but he told be to be on the lookout. I figured this is a little like an arms race and that the sooner i rooted my phone when the method was avail. the better. (tech guy is in italy with his fiancee right now, or i would be asking him all these questions)

Soooo, it seemed to me, that in the spirit of owning an opensource device and joining the android revolution, that i should root my phone and unlock all the magic.

I'm no computer programming whiz, i dont write code, and i learned all of the terminology on this board in the last 2 days. So lost, but learning fast.

I did not root my phone for no reason. I clearly understand the utility of having superuser status (besides, most guys are wired to want that kinda thing regardless) - deleting annoying sprint apps that chew power, "re-tuning" the device to run more efficiently, and of course, free wifi tethering.

But, after completing the most excellent root method described in this forum, i found myself staring at a rooted 2.2 and wondering what the next step was. There are NO google results for "i've rooted my evo 4, now what?" so thats why i started this thread, figuring that I was not the only one in my situation

THAT enormously long winded explanation complete, I would love to aggregate the appropriate options in this thread. Method to wipe, list of Flash Roms for a rooted 2.2 EVO.

Again, thanks for all the replies,

btw what does "uncap your FPS" mean?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
If you did unrevoked then I would flash the latest Amon-RA recovery image. No offense to clockworkmod, amon is just my preference.

Poke around the recovery console and learn how it works.

NAND FIRST!! haha, develop that habit before you flash anything (roms, kernels, etc.), just in case

-Flash a rom that suits your needs. Read their OP's and threads to learn what they are about and what the people that use them think. I would suggest you just flash the stock rooted 2.2, play with it for a week or two to see how root works and explore what you can do with it. Also look into backup methods so you are familiar with how to preserve your stuff when you flash a different rom.

FPS = frames per second. There are kernels that will lift the 30fps cap.

Read about kernels and how to take advantage of them.

I know I've been pretty general, just pick a trail and start walking, when you have questions ask em :)

I like your logic of titling the thread exactly what you searched for, usin yer brains to make this thread more beneficial to the next guy (imagine a thumbs-up smiley here)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementur:
It is highly recommended that you do what he says! :D You'll see a major improvement in lots of areas. In case you're curious here is my setup: STOCK 2.2 w/ Netarchy kernal. I chose the stock 2.2 so that I may do with it what I like. It's very fast and very stable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
You can remove Sprint stuff, just have to spend some time and learn to use ADB. Rooting an EVO is not the same as rooting an iPhone, you can pretty much do everything you can from rooting an iPhone without even rooting Android so the difference is not that great.

Most of what you gain from rooting Android is being able to do things the carrier doesn't wan't you to do such as install free wifi tethering, remove their apps etc... You can also install others roms where they have already done this stuff for you but from what I have seen on the EVO and 2.2 battery life suffers greatly on pretty much any rom other than stock rooted so there is a lot to be gained from learning adb and just working with the stock rooted rom to remove the apps you wan't to.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philyteach:
I'm in the same boat. I got my new EVO on Tuesday, it was rooted an hour later. Why? Because that's how we do things! First thing for me it was important to have tethering. Work blocks damned near everything. As I learn more about the Android system I'll get more use out of root.

I was carefully paying attention to the thread and particularly bluehaze's answer. I'd like to learn more about using adb to remove sprint crap. That amazon app is always restarting itself. If there an ADB for newbs guide around here anywhere? I looked but didn't see.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neodorian:
There are a few things that I use which make root a necessity.

- custom ROMs provide a setup more tailored to what you are personally looking for

- using wireless tethering without being artificially limited to Sprint's commercial offering

- backups! I can boot into recovery and make a backup image of my setup at any point. That way no matter what settings I change or what ROMs I test out, I can always go right back to my stable daily driver in 5 minutes if needed.

- custom recovery and superuser allow you to install things, uninstall things, theme things, etc. Nothing worse than not being able to change something on my own device

- speed, battery, etc. via tweaked kernels. I'm using Baked Snack's ROM and kernel now and it's way faster and nicer on battery than stock

nOObs need love too

Now there is...thanks. My Google search on those words led me here. I've been lurking on these boards since I got my EVO a while ago, but I haven't had the guts to root until right now, 2nite, it's happening... I'll be back soon with my *new and improved* phone.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamFuzzles:
I own a droid, and have already rooted it, running CM6, got it down pretty alright. So I'm not all that new to rooting. But my sister has a Droid Eris, and I was looking to root that for her. I plan on using the 1 click rooting app mentioned here, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend any ROMs and/or Kernels that I should use? She's not much of a power user, I'm mostly trying to speed it up for her and get rid of stock apps and such, so any help would be great. Thank you in advance

KaosFroyo

[ Sent from my HTC Droid Eris | KaosFroyo v31 ]
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devlp1213:
Kaosfroyo is really great and the other two froyo roms on here I've read great things about them too I've just only used kaos and I highly recommend it
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk842018:
Id suggest a frayo rom there's a few going around I personally recommend kaos frayo V32 very fast and stable, very great build. Its overclocked to 710 out of box.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzpatriot:
my rom is pretty great also :D
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pantheon.:
You could also use mine, that is if you want a rom that is stock but with speed tweaks and themes.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Busphan:
I would also suggest one of the froyo roms. Tazz Cyanogen Froyo is really smooth and fast. Of course I think this would be a great rom for anyone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psilocybenine:
I'd suggest running jcase's PlainJane rom and check out the new BFS kernel.

I just got a warranty replacement phone, rooted the old way and put PlainJane on there (I had been running PlainJaneT2 which just adds support for A2SD but that only complicates upgrading to froyo later) did a nandroid backup then flashed that BFS kernel and ran a linpack benchmark right after scoring near 2.5 without overclocking (PlainJane barebones absolute stock 2.1 with SuperUser and OC support)

I suggest PlainJane because it's simple, you can get moderate EXTREMELY stable performance gains, get rid of bloatware, run wifi tether and no one would be the wiser that the handset was rooted. Your sister can then confidently explore the app market, slowly get into changing some settings, try a new launcher and at some point then maybe she'd have some interest in froyo...

As great as the Eris Froyo roms are you should face the fact that they're all intended for moderately android savvy users or at least novices with aspirations to learn a LOT more on their own. Few users will ever root their phone to begin with, even fewer will go the distance learning command line for abd and the fact that you're rooting her ERIS is evidence enough imho that you should be putting the LEAST complicated MOST stock solution if you intend to do this for her.

If she walks into a verizon store with her phone she'll get no help, If she loses ANYTHING can't use something she wants to for any reason it'll be YOUR fault and she will VERY quickly forget the hours you spent tweeking her phone to squeeze out a couple more MFLOPS that she'll honestly never really use.

that's my take
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamFuzzles:
That was my thinking as well. I've looked through the forums a bit, and I'm assuming you're talking about these:

(Just realized I can't post links, would it be any trouble for you to post links to the ROM and kernel threads you're talking about so I can verify?)

Just want to make sure we're on the same page?

Thanks to everyone for your speedy replies and help. I'm definitely looking into all these, see what might work best and try to explain to her what might work best for her.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerski1:
I am running CELB and loving it. I had issues with kaosfroyo and forcecloses.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dianeofarcadia:
Jcase Plain Jane 2.1 is a good stable ROM and agree with psilocybenine's comment. ;)

Another good stable ROM to check into could be Sense-able 3.1. I play around and try out all the new roms that come out but this one is my everyday one for it stability. (plus I like the simple blue theme). Have not had any problems.

good luck :cool:

KaosFroyo FTW

but this is out of its area next time try and post something like this in the q/a section
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamFuzzles:
Thank you! That seems perfect. Another quick question though, of those two (PlainJane and Sense-able) which is most like the standard Eris UI? I want my sister to have as little trouble as possible when using it

My bad, sorry about that, I'll remember it next time thank you. As for the KaosFroyo is that one a fairly simple ROM? again, trying to think of my sister here and ease of use
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rokenford:
All plain jane does is add oc capability a d superuser rights. Senseable has speed tweaks and apps2sd and some other tweaks. Both are sense based and are like stock with added root fun.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dianeofarcadia:
If you want something as close to the standard Eris UI, then that might be Plain Jane. Sense-able has some bloatware removed and other features but not to far off once you get it set up. Just read the threads thoroughly. Sense-able has a couple of add -on fixes (updated the dialer and a text input fix).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCCP4ever:
Sens Based ROM all hands up for Plain Jane. Fast, stable and sense. I would highly reccomend it as far as sense based rom. As far as Froyo my choice definitely goes to nonsensikal =)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sjflowerhorn:
its AOSP(vanilla) and the others mentioned above are sense based, which is how the phone comes so if you want a stock feel i used plainjane but you might want to try them both out mabey one suits you better. as far as ease i think they are all pretty easy to get used to.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzpatriot:
not all are sense based bro :D
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
As much as I love the Froyo roms, all of them have small flaws that a not-so-power-user would quickly get frustrated with. The camera issue is one of the most notable. She would have to take a picture, then close the camera and open the gallery to view it. If she tried to preview the picture from within the camera, her phone would lock and she would have to pull the battery. If she's cool with that, put her on a Froyo rom. They're all pretty great!

If she wants pure stability and only wants to download and use apps, put her on a 2.1 rom with Apps2SD. Sense UI eats up a lot of the Eris's speed so I would recommend one without it. Plus it's like getting a new phone when you swith from Sense to non Sense based rom. Conap's ELB is my personal favorite but some of the others mentioned in this thread are also pretty stable.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsuh:
Hey, my recommendation would be KaosFroyo; it's definitely smoooth sailing!

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
xtrSense is what I'm running for now. It's overclocking nicely.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
xtrSense is faster, more feature filled, more reliable, and better looking than PlainJane or any Froyo ROM I've experienced.

You can't beat the write-up that the author puts on the first post of his page, and you can't beat GScript for modifying things.

xtrSense FTW.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well all, I appreciate the help a lot, but unfortunately, my sister has changed her mind, so I won't get to try my hand at rooting an Eris. A real disappointment, but thank you all again, and hopefully sometime in the future I'll be able to use all this great advice.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemonspeakers:
This is probably an android noob thing, but I cannot seem to understand how to use the "email" app and the "gmail" app.

I want to use the stock/default android email app, you know, the one with the black background? However, I am seriously annoyed by the fact that when I receive a single new email, I get two notifications in the notifications bar; One from the gmail app and one from the stock/default email app.

How do I use this? It's required to set up a gmail account for marketplace to work. But I hate replicate notifications.

Do I just delete one entirely from the app folder?

Whats the best way to work along/around this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
You can turn off the Gmail apps notifications by delving into it's settings.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crater:
Go to gmail app, hit menu, go to more, select settings, uncheck Email Notifications. Gmail app will no longer notify you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
but if you just turn off the notification it will still be syncing in the background so if you dont want to use the gmail app go into accounts & sync and under your mail address uncheck sync gmail

the gmail app is used for just that, gmail. the email app is used to connected to exchange servers, pop3 accounts, imap accounts, basically any email that isnt gmail.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstang2006:
you get two notifications because you have set up your gmail account on Email app. Gmail app is way better than Email app (my opinion)

Option1: Delete gmail account from Email app and just use the Gmail app.

Option2: Go to Gmail app settings and disable notifications and use Email app (it will still be synchronizing).

Option3: Uninstall Gmail app and use Email app.

If only I could make my ActiveSync account (work Exchange) to use the Gmail app for mail display instead of Email.apk's viewer.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] couchpotato7:
Personally I think the Gmail app sucks ****. Its so annoying to see the Gmail notification (like push email) and then only go into Mail to actually read it after hitting refresh.

Real cockup in my opinion, but then again I don't hold android in the highest light anyway.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
I personally like the gmail app. I never need to press refresh. My push works great. I see the notification or the green trackball (color I set for gmail) then pull down menu and select the notification for Gmail and it loads that message right up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
That's pretty much wrong if I understand you correctly. If I get a notification from the Gmail app of a new mail, I press it and it's right there in my inbox without having to refresh it first.

I also like the Gmail app better than the built-in e-mail app.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstrucity:
The Gmail Push?

I have nexus one, it normally syncs every hour (i set it so)..

Why dont I get the push option? (my operator supports push mail)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If you use Gmail app - the push is automatic and the only way. You don't configure the sync time, because it has no such option.

If you use Email app for Gmail - check if you can set it to Automatic(Push) option (it's the topmost option on the list).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
If you set Gmail as Exchange, it can push. If it's set as IMAP then it has to be set to poll.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstrucity:
Ok did that, and and yeh, its push.

Its a lil slow though (it gets a lil delayed).. but Im glad it works..
