Just thought Id throw that in.

I'm working on "TEACHING" my EVO now.. hopefully by end of today (2nd day) my battery might work better... right now its still crappy without the app killer.

Same boat as u.. I did get systempanel. Thx for info on that one..

EDIT: Battery is running WORSE without the APP Killer... I'll keep tinkering with it to see if it just needs to more time...

OMJ, I have been testing several different roms against yours and on the benchmark testing your 2.2 rom came in 1st at 1167 for cpu speed, graphics, data writng. I used Quadrant testing to check this. The other several roms didn't even get to 900. The only phone that had a higher benchmark was the Nexus 2.2 . Great job on your roms OMJ am flashing back to 2.2 now.

This may have been answered already, but anybody know the benefit the latest OTA will give and what does this mean for any new ROMS that will be cooked?
I know not to install anything from Sprint because I don't want to break my custom ROM.

HTC EVO 4G Froyo .6 update starts OTA rollout for early adopters
By Sean Hollister posted Aug 10th 2010 at 11:15PM
Sure, XDADevelopers has had an unofficial fix for a few days, but we understand your hesitation -- installing custom firmware is how you got burned in the first place. Thankfully for you, HTC is now beaming the official EVO 4G patch over the airwaves, which updates your tainted 3.26.561.3 dairy dessert to a more toothsome 3.26.561.6. Just scoot on over to Settings > System Updates and invoke the download -- assuming Sprint is being nice in your area -- or wait it out and your handset might even update itself.
Thanks.

Easy. Go into /system/app and remove htclockscreen.apk
Only issue is you wont be able to turn off your alarm clock if you use HTC Alarm clock. Just install a thrid party app and you're all set.

I went in to /system/app and I cannot find htcclockscreen.apk, any ideas of what I could be doing wrong?

I saw the advice yesterday about removing the setcpu over clock widget and also updating to the newer facebook app (1.3.1). I did this and did not remove ATK and by the time I went to bed last night it had been 14 hours since I unplugged and I was still at 30% with moderate to heavy usage. I made multiple calls yesterday, checked my email and facebook all day, and watched a couple of youtube videos.

I was going to remove ATK but I think I like the way it's working now, probably the best it has ever worked. By the way, I am on OMJ's modified kernal rom released on the 3rd, not the 5th.

Thanks for all the advice and hard work OMJ and everyone else that contributes.

The info in the first page

Software Developers Kit. It has a ton of tools in it for devs to play with. I'm no developer but I do like to learn and tinker.
The tool most useful to users is adb. That allows us to apply code and move apps.
It also has device drivers.

Yes, 4G works. How did you get to Froyo? What ROM were you on before?

Your thoughts...

That Dude is all set I believe. Simple root works. It's just the automatic process for the manual steps listed in FastRX8's tutorial.
The unrevoked team is working on some VERY interesting ideas, stay tuned.
For now, go with Simple root or Fast's tut.

That is just the patch that HTC released to get those users that applied the stock .3 software pre-release up to speed since their phones would not do another OTA. All custom ROMs are on the .6 software.

Drew i had this exact problem, are you 100% certain that the original pc36img, engpc36img and the rom1-pc36img were completely flashed before flashing froyo, also did you wipe data and cache first? I flashed radio and wimax after flashing rom1 but before flashing froyo. Hope this helps
