Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

dont you have your contacts sync'd with Google on your EVO?

Titanium doesn't do contacts I don't think...only apps and app data...least thats all i every used it for.

I never used Sprite on android.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

Has anyone installed the update and root was still working? Im wondering if I should root first then install update or install update then root or not install update at all,lol.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

When I got my phone yesterday an Update came in before I made it home and read that I shouldn't accept upgrades...so of course I accepted the update. When I got home I read I shouldn't do updates but I tried the root anyway and it worked.


This is what my phone says it has:

Firmware Version 2.1-update 1
Baseband Version 1.39.00.004.26
Kernel version 2.6.29-a2443432 htc-kernel@and18-2 #1
build number 1.32.651.1.CL171253 test-keys
Software number 1.32.651.1
Browser version Webkit 3.1
PRI Version 1.40_003
PRL Version 60665

Oh, and I haven't done any updates since rooting.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

Thx, which root did you do the one on xda or unrevoked if you dont mind me asking.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

once again ill be testing your roms, left my wonderful diamond, and got this awesome evo.. ill let you know of any issues... thanks again for your hard work

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

How is this ROM running??

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

one thing i noticed is that it doesnt seem as if wifi tethering is working but it isnt like that was an option before.. the good news is it is fully rooted now which is much better than the unrevoked release.. not a huge difference from what i noticed compared to the rooted shipped rom that was released but no real big issues either so its a start

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

toenail, did you do the OTA update? If so when? Before or after you rooted? I want to root sooo bad but i installed the OTA and am nervous,lol. Also, are you missing any apps in the market?

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

yeah i did the ota yesterday and did the root this morning.. however even after update yesterday, after installing the custom rom i was welcomed with the prompt that an update was available again around 10mins ago and that one i didnt not accept, dont know if that is a new one or if the update i did yesterday was specific the the rom that i had installed at the time.. but im done with the updates, yesterdays was the only one i was willing to do, dont want to take the chance of losing root access

oh yeah, and you asked if i was missing anything.. no everything is 100% if anything things were added like superuser permissions, and the wifi tether which isnt working for me, plus i now had the ability to add titanium to backup my goods

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

I did the xda unroot when I did mine.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

Thx guys, toe which root did use? Unrevoked or the normal xda one? I'm gonna root through the xda method later tonight. Thx for all the info guys.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

I have no idea what any of this means. Root, un-root? But I'll find out in a couple of days. Hopefully theres a fix for the tethering by then as that is all I hope to gain.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

i did unrevoked last night after the update but wasnt too fond of that one, so i just did the xda root instead this morning

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

basically just think of the word root as unlocked or jailbroken

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

I am new to Android and waiting for my EVO to arrive in a day or so. I believe that Android is Linux based, so I assume rooting your phone is getting administrative privileges to the 'root' level. However, what benefit does it provide on Android? Is it required to flash a new ROM? Is there an alternative app store like Cydia on the iPhone? I appreciate anyone willing to educate me (and I am sure others) on this topic.

Re: Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

You are correct, that's exactly what root is. To flash custom you do need root access and certain programs also require root access, but of course you may not need them. There are places to buy apps other then marketplace, they are posted everywhere in comments of applications.

I'm having the same issue. I can connect to the phone, but the laptop does not have internet.
Is there an option to tether using USB that works besides PDANet?

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

Ditto

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

So is 4G working with this ROM?

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

I'm wondering this also?

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

Hey OMJ I flashed your rom, and I'm tryin to get back to shipped stock, but I can't, it say error, use the right ruu for you phone and try again. I'm just having minor issues and wanna start from scratch, do you have any idea what to do, i ask only cuz you were smart enuff to make the custom rom :-)

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

I havent had alot of time to play w/ EVO & customizing, but more updates will come. I plan on removing the Sprint crap & possibly Sense (though personally I like it).

any other suggestions? I'm still learning too, so bare w/ me :)

Has anyone tried a different wifi tether app?


just curious how you are tying to flash the shipped, as I have not tried. I assume just running the .exe?

*edit* http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...2&postcount=56

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

I tried your custom ROM,but since wifi tether doesn't work,how do i flash it back to the stock rom?I ran the stock ruu exe,it said running bootloader,then it just failed.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

I did copy the ROM.zip from stock rom to my sd card and tried to flash,but the error was "Reading ROM.zip "bad"",I tried both the .1 & .6 stock rom rom.zip,same error when it tried to flash,when i use your custom rom,it flashed ok from sd card,any idea?don't know if rooted rom causing problem when try to go back to stock?

In your rom,can you get the Sprint Hotspot to work?my laptop can't get an ip from the device.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

All this looks very exciting! I think i'll wait another couple of weeks until everything gets sorted out. I'm in a 4G area and would like to retain 4G and want wifi tethering. Now to get used to Android :) Thanks for all the hard work.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

hmm, did you wipe first?

I dont have the hotspot on my account, so when I try to launch it, I get a data call failure, error code 67. I got this on the stock rom too

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

Looking forward to some customization and putting to use the power of the Snapdragon. Gonna wait a while so the bugs get worked out though

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

what i did was flash the one from xda and then i plugged it in but didn't let it connect to htc sync and then i used the updated ruu found from the evo upgrades section of this site, it's in the shipped rom thread

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

here the updated rom link from the thread i was talkin about http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supe...253_signed.exe

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

Thank you.It works for me,just flashed back to stock.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

I have the google I/O phone,the hotspot works til 6/20.I found out that as soon as i rooted the phone,the hotspot stopped working,even b4 to flash any custom rom.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

yay i finally helpped someone lol

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

4g only works, not 3g hotspot, so iy maynot have worked

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

I heard its supposed to work for 3g and 4g, but I might be wrong. Either way I'd just root it because the wifi tether app is just as good in my opinion :)

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

Did you ever find out if there is a way to tether our evo with out having internet on our labtop and or computer????

Thanks

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

Oh and without rooting our evo?

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

Wifi Tethering works perfectly. You do have to root to use it though. The unrevoked site is super easy. Takes about 5secs and does everything for your.

Here's the thread w/ the working wifi tethering app (no work around needed) http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...85#post1797585

Here's the link to the developers site. Use a barcode scanner to download.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wif...4.apk&can=2&q=

Must be rooted to work.

As far as customizations, I'd wouldn't mind getting rid of the Sprint stuff, but I really like Sense UI. People can disable if they don't like it. And, unlike the diamond, space really isn't an issue. Otherwise, you'll end up maintaining several types of roms for 1 device again.

Wifi tethering works. See my response to SCOTTYDO

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM *beta*
 

nice find, thanks....I can confirm this version of wifi tether works great! It will be included in my next rom, I have attached the file, unzip to sd card, use root explorer to install
