I'm going to put it up here for an open beta test. Just had to make sure it boots on other phones and everything still works. This whole ROM is about keeping things working.

This is not a whole ROM.
You do NOT have to wipe.
This is something I call the Gumbo process (cause it's a mix of different things that work good together). People coming from a Hero will know what it is. For everyone else, it replaces your task killer, minfree killer, and any other app used to manage free RAM.
This is the first version for the Evo, and it still has the stock HTC kernel. I'm not going to build kernels without official source here. We just want everything to work. XDA is the place for experimental stuff, lots of guys over there who are very good at it. When kernel sources come, we can get all kinds of funky.
Download to SD card
Nandroid backup
reboot
uninstall or deactivate any task manager type apps you have
Flash from recovery or rom manager, no wipe.
First boot may take a while. The animation is only there temporary, I just wanted something different to look at during the buttload of times I rebooted while working on it. And it helps you know which version you're on during testing. Thanks evanscnce for it.
Just use your phone as you normally would. Holler if you see any difference (good or bad) while using it. To uninstall, just use the nandroid you make. So make one.
Don't bug Keith about this, hunt me down. I'm putting it here, because I'm only sure it works in RvU. And you guys need to test and let Keith know if it goes in or stays out.
