Got my Evo 4g during the week. I've been getting apps and figuring out the basics. Now I want to root and change themes. Any favorites?

P.S.- This phone is awesome

Welcome to the evo-side-of-time.

Step back a little and read this. http://www.androidcentral.com/root before rooting.

In that case.... There are a few threads here on the forum, and on YouTube that could assist you in modifying your phone. Read carefully and follow instructions.

Ps. There are always members here willing to give their time to help you if you ever run into any problems.

Best of luck.

If you're all up to speed on root and you're ready to start moding your phone the I recommended hitting to XDA EVO Development thread. There you will find all the custom ROMs for the EVO. What you will come to recognize after loading up a few ROMs is that they are all very similar but heavily themed to the developer's tastes. Primary differences between the ROMs are Sense ROMs, AOSP ROMs and Gingerbread ROMs. Of these three types there are lots of variations to chose from. Have fun! I'll post a link in a bit.

Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=653

Is say definitely check out Virus, Azreal and MikFroyo roms at xda.

Can't believe it, I get to the last step n now I'm stuck. I have to power on my phone and type "adb reboot bootloader " to apply an update and reboot in Sprint Lovers. Thing is, I powered on my Evo n it's stuck at the htc EVO 4G white screen. Any help?

Edit: Nvm, it's suppose to be like that

 

[dan330]

sooo........ whats the update? did you get it done? flash a new ROM yet?

how do you like it?

try Myn's Warm RLS5, it is great!

 

[iClowNz]

Yup, I got it to work. Sorry, as soon as I got it done, had to go out.

It came with Sprint Lovers, which isn't bad. I'm now looking at a different ROM to flash. I'll check that one out.

Question, do themes go with certain roms?

 

[dan330]

yes.. some themes are tied to some ROMs..
some are generic..

anipet aquarium background is awesome if you like fish

Now that you are root, you should give Gingerbread a shot. CM7 has everything but HDMI working (and really, how often do you use HDMI, if at all?). Load'r up and take'r for a spin...

Got my first one, which is UNleashed. You guys think there'll ever be a way to get windows games on these phones?
