I can't remember if I've already said hello in this thread or not so I'm saying hi again! Former crackberry user myself, same name on those forums as I have here. Left my berry for the Droid Eris thought I'd made a huge mistake until I got a Motorola Droid man I'm loving it! All I truly miss from my berry is BBM. If I could just get those friends to get gtalk or something we'd be in business!

Welcome! You might try PingChat, it seems to be a good alternative. BBM is the only thing I miss from my berry days as well.

Welcome to the thread!!

As thekarens mentioned, PingChat is a good alternative to BBM.

Hey all, it has been too long since I have posted in this thread. I hope everyone is doing well and loving their phones. I have been having a great time with my phone and playing around with different roms and kernels. It's a ton of fun, then again that could be the nerd in me lol. Has anyone else ventured into loading roms on their phone?

**thekarens** · 08-28-2010, 05:44 PM

I considered rooting and loading different roms on my phone, but for me I can't think of a good reason to. The phone does everything I need/want. I used to tinker a lot with my phones when I had a Pre (there was a lot that phone couldn't do without some tweaking)

Before the EVO Froyo update hit, I did for a little bit. I flashed a custom ROM and liked it but when the Froyo update came out I did that. I wasn't 100% sure if my phone rooted correctly or not.....lol Some ROMs wouldn't flash for some reason. If there's ever a root method for 2.2 on the EVO then I might get back into it.

I definitely understand. When I first got my incredible I didn't even consider rooting it because I loved it the way it was and also before unrevoked it was too cumbersome and unreliable to root. But my curiosity got the best of me lol and I have been trying different ROMs now ever since froyo leaked for the inc. When I had my blackberry, it was a must for me to use hybrids to get the phone exactly how I wanted it.

There was an article a few days ago that I read and I believe the Evo is rootable again after the 2.2 update.

Found the article: http://www.androidcentral.com/froyo-...g-now-rootable not sure how easy it is according to what the article states.

I saw that too and saw the steps on the XDA forums, but that's WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY above me

I was that person that used either unrEVOked3 (the new one scares me) or Simple Root. I'm more of a one-click sort of guy.....lol

I know what you mean...I'm the same way LMAO...I waited until the Unrevoked came out too LOL.

Just adding my name to the list. Howdy all.

Welcome diggity!!!!

Thanks mizterjroc!

You're welcome

**thekarens** · 09-10-2010, 07:13 AM

Hi Diggity! Welcome!

I'm thinking once Unrevoked comes back with the one click I may try rooting. I don't need to since the phone is fine as is, but I'd like to be able to use the "forced roam" app. For whatever reason when I'm at work I get full bars in the garage, but zero bars once I've entered the office.

I only rooted because of the custom ROMs available. I liked how some of them changed the appearence of the UI.

Wow I haven't been in this thread for a while. How's everyone been?

**vzwtech07** · 10-10-2010, 03:20 PM
