[Official] What to do after rooting 2.3.3? Click here!

[igotsanevo4g]

This will be the thread to discuss what to do next. Comply, or get locked!
I'm creating this in an attempt to eliminate a bunch of threads on the same topic and as a way to pool all information in one nice to read thread

The first basic things you'll need to do are:
1. Flash a custom recovery if its not included in revolutionary. (Via PC36IMG or rom manager)
2. Make a nandroid back up from the custom recovery.

All further questions shall be posted here, as i know 1&2 are just the start of things. Myself and knowledgeable members will be happy to help! (I hope )

Thanks, and enjoy your newly acquired root for the OG Evo!!!

Rom manager is a application that requires root. Here is a whole thread dedicated to root apps, and a bit about rom manager is in there. http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...29-android-centrals-r-t-root-apps-thread.html

How about a good kernel to use that's not confusing. I also have problems with hdmi win for my tv.

When installing a different rom you always have to wipe. Wiping is data, cache, and Dalvik cache (for those with revolutionary/clockwork Dalvik is under advance). Always make sure you make a nandroid (backup) before you wipe and flash. This way you have something to go back to just in case you don't like the rom or something happens. Example bootloops

Use the one that has edify in the name. I'm sure the revolutionary recovery is updated for that.

You'll put it on your sd card and flash it in recovery.

Thank you. I applied it and in the hardware information it still shows b/g but I'll take it to work tomorrow and set one of the wireless radios to n-only.

This is my first time rooting and I'm loving it. Flashed a nice Sense 3.0 custom rom (loving it) and I am most happy with the ability to move what seems like any app to SD (No more low space restrictions).

My question now is, what other great features can I take part in now that I'm rooted?

Kernels: To help with battery life and to overclock your phone.

AOSP roms: These are non sense roms that give you a different feel to the phone.

Root-only apps: So many to choose from - Titanium Backup, Ad Free (removes ads from apps), Set Cpu (overclocking app), Root manager (file explorer app for rooted only), Shoot Me (Screen shot app for rooted phones only)

Wireless tether: Tethering (using your phone) for free!

So much you can do w/a rooted phone.

Fresh root how do I replace kernel with one that will help battery life

 

[SmokeCrawler]

Put the. zip file on your SD card and wipe cache and dalvik
You can check out my link for a visual aid. I have times so you don't have to guess when each piece starts

 

[Seancj81]

What link and what kernal name

 

[SmokeCrawler]

The link in my signature that says How to.

For the kernels give these a try. Remember give it 3 days or so. Also wipe cache and dalvik cache

I finally got around to setting my radios to 802.11n only and tried connecting with them set to 20MHz and Auto 20/40MHz and neither worked... so I tried installing the driver following the manual instructions and still no success. Tried the update zip again, still no success. I guess it is what it is....

I been looking for you. You got lost in all the post. Give this a shot if you want. It's the stock kernel with wireless N built in.
