    ROM recommendation

    I followed the one-click root method and am now looking for a Hero ROM. The phone is rather sluggish in my opinion so I am hoping to gain speed. In order of preference I need: - stability (this is for my wife, she will yell if it crashes a lot) - speed (faster than the out of the box config)...

    Completely naked Evo users, please read

    I cracked my screen and the protector held everything in place until I got it fixed. Just something to consider.

    want to root - problems setting up USB driver

    OK, thanks for offering to back me up. I guess I will go the Simpleroot route. Simpleroot doesn't appear to need any files except what's in the 1-click distribution for 1.47.651.1 phones (which is what I have). Is that correct?

    want to root - problems setting up USB driver

    Want to root. I am still on 2.1-update 1, build number is 1.47.651.1. The following page makes rooting the Evo from the command line look pretty easy: The easiest 1.47.651.1 root+nand unlock you'll ever see without a gui (Updated) - xda-developers Problem is I can't get that far. I am...

    I am officially ready to upgrade...

    Nice ID. Looks like the HeroTHC is kicking in for someone tonight. Thinking of changing your name to CrankShift when you get the new phone?

    Cracked My Screen

    Did this to my Evo, here's the thread: http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/38676-q-how-repair-cracked-evo-screen.html As a quick summary: - Sprint will repair the screen for $35 if you don't carry insurance, BUT they take no liability if the phone breaks during the repair process...

    Flashing rom over rom

    To answer your question re: fonts and boot animation, the easiest way would be to reinstall the Rom with the settings you want. You don't learn anything, but it gets the job done.

    Google Calendar no alarms on Evo

    The built-in reminder capabilities of Android phones are not very good. Missed Call is a good reminder app. It reminds for missed calls, upcoming meetings, and sms. It sometimes continues to remind me even though the alarm was dismissed, but that's the only bug that I've found on my EVO...

    ROM advice

    Thanks Jerzy! I was not thinking about the support part, great advice. I've seen lots of excitement about Myn's as well. AC -> Myn's looks like a good path to me. Now I just have to get over my fear of getting lost while rooting. I stayed on 2.1 which should make life easy. I'll probably...

    missing character on my android keyboard?

    Need help finding accent acute (`) on the android keyboard. It's the quote that's under the tilde on a qwerty keyboard. Thanks.

    ROM advice

    My ideal ROM would have: - Sense - HTC Sync - Wireless tether - 4G - Wireless hotspot (would be nice) - extended battery life and faster response (goes without saying?) I could care less about the frame cap limit. The AC ROM claims to have everything + Wireless tether. Is that the best...

    Is a high class microSD card worth the extra $

    Easy guys. Willy900wonka is just saying that the max current usage is the same regardless of class number, i.e.: Imax,class2 = Imax,class4 = .... = Imax He is also assuming that the current consumption scales linearly with read speed, something like: I,actual = Imax*(read speed/max read...
