UPDATE-EVOX2
Alright this is just an updated X. i had alot of ideas in mind but i cant get them to function properly. Just as many updates in the V series were small, they led to bigger things. with source and everything this week it has been hard to stay focused on one rom. X3 will be a completely new beast. so for now pick V or X series. they work the same
END----------------------------------------------
EVOlutionX-This is a DroidX themed Froyo. its as reliable as V8 but now it has alot of motorola elements. i started Seem editing moto razrs so im going back to the beggining .
i recommend wiping everything then Flashing. IF you have V8 or Hero_overs rom, you might not HAVE to wipe because its froyo over froyo but if you experience problems, wipe then flash
This is a very visual rom. i love it so far. If you dont like it just restore your V8 or w/e. This is a new series of froyo roms so i will continue updating this with the V series.
New-Wifi-tether
sprint tv
all red
new bootscreen
new launcher
new live wallpaper
new market
new icons**
new froyo leak

Ability to flash OC kernels
lots more!
EVOlutionX2
So enjoy it.
New Series Changlog
-EVOlutionX-Droid theme. million extras.
-EVOlutionX2- Revamped everything. much faster, smoother.
============================================================
EVOLUTION V9
Alright EVOV9 is based on FRF85B and has the Evo update applied. it fixed alot of little problems. Much more stable and smooth. This is considered very beta as the new updates kill alot of things, it was hard to get it right. 35+ test roms actually. I will be updating as problems are found. but the only things that are not fixed are mms, BTmono, cameras. everything else should work. I recommend a wipe coming from anything, but as always it may not be 100% needed coming from another froyo rom.
Please enjoy EVOlutionV9

Quirk- some people may get no sim card inserted at google login. just click back and it will fix it. this is one of the issues i have fixed but i will address them at a later time.
I will be adding patches, one for MMS fix and another with a white taskbar incase you dont like the black one.
You must flash coming from any rom. Go to market and download TITANIUM BACKUP. click (problems?) and install busybox. after that push menu and select batch. BACKUP ALL USER APPS. when its done you will then have all your apps backed up. then install rom, rinse, repeat.
for people who dont want use this because of cameras, i posted this up and i guess people dont think about it. Nandroid backup your 2.1. after its done wipe everything, flash this rom, set up the 2.2 rom to your liking, titanium backup works on froyo, and nandroid backup this rom. nandroids are sorted by date so just remember the earlier one is 2.1. you can rename but people say it messes up sometimes. then use froyo when you dont need cameras, and just wipe dalvik and restore 2.1 when you do. thats what i do and i love it.

Recommendations- i want to include this as i know how it is just starting android rooting. when your start flashing roms, the first thing you do is look for flaws. now these little things kept me from going to roms. the biggest problem i forget is that there are apps out there that can replace the small ones.
Handcent-Ultimate msging app. i suggest you download this, go into the stock msg app and disable notifications. this will help with Voicemail issues.
Rootexplorer- you must have this. it is one amazing app
Better keyboard- the stock skin on this beats anything i have used. i recommend this app also.
Titanium backup- USE THIS AND BACKUP ALL APPS WEEKLY!!!
i will add to this as i continue. and one very very important thing, i got my htc hero in november. i didnt join XDA until january but i downloaded roms from day1. leave comments!!!! as a developer the most important thing is not how many people use your rom or how much money you make. its all about you all telling us you love our rom. theres no greater feeling than sitting down for 6 hours at a time and fixing issues and hearing thanks. so this is just something to think about thanks for the support everyone
Credits-Toast for first build!!! Without that i would be working on something else
Credits go to the the nexus forum where i got the icons
-thanks to the dev who found wireless N
-anyone i forget, i do not in any way shape or form want to take away from other developers. if i forgot you please pm me and i will include you and get you the credit you deserve.
great work, I downloading , will report back when done.
looks like fun, hopefully froyo is ported over before its official evo release
Running well.
Good work.
as stated above. please list in detail EVERY problem you find i will go threw and try to fix what can be fixed.
starting with BT. tell me what profiles do and dont work. i know a2dp doesnt but lets see about the others
thanks!
Not able to download from link.
Testing right now. I have to root with Toast. I'll report.
Nice work, getting closer to a stable froyo, will try when a get out work and report back with problems that I find.

Damn me and my impatience, tried it again and bam, it worked.
Thanks for the ROM. Here are 3 problems I am incurring:
1. Can't pair with bluetooth device.
"There was a problem pairing with LG HBM-570 because the PIN or Passkey was incorrect." The problem is, android doesn't pop up a keypad for me to type in any PIN. Then when I hit the back key, I get an error message:
"Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
2. Screen auto-rotate to landscape doesn't work at all. I tried in Messaging and the Browser. The setting Auto-rotate screen is checked under Display setting.
3. Proximity sensor doesn't work. When I'm on the phone the screen doesn't turn off automatically.
Other than that everything else seems to be running fine. The LED light goes away when I unplug, finally! I also updated the eri.xml to get rid of the roaming indicator. I will post updates as needed. Thanks

have you gotten the rom to actually load? i get stuck in this infinite boot loop. I flashed another rom and it booted up right away. i flash back to this and i'm stuck. I tried wiping everything including dalvik cache. any ideas?
I, personally, loved the MIUI & CyanogenMod but they, in my opinion, have their downfalls.
MIUI: No app drawer, I like having just 1 page on the homescreen & all the excess apps/games in the drawer, but its layout (customization options (lockscreen/homescreen wallpaper, themed messaging app), bootlogo, etc.) is great but, the worst part was the simple fact that it would be fine over night, then the next day it started booting out the wifi, phone or even put my phone into airplane mode which I could not get out of no matter how many reboots or battery pulls I did.
CyanogenMod: No texting or phone calls at all, it has been awhile since I used it but it either could send & not receive texts/calls or vice-versa, either way just like w/ MIUI, its awesome in every other aspect.
I was just wondering if there are any other custom ROMs for the Samsung Mesmerize SCH-i500, in particular, that are similar to those two, themed and/or fully customizable options, I can't think of the words I'm looking for, I guess a standalone custom ROM that is FULLY STABLE (calls, texts, wifi, bluetooth, no AUTOMATIC airplane mode, etc. I mean EVERYTHING FULLY WORKING) for my, above mentioned, phone, does not have to be debloated/dexed/deodexed, either way.
i am running miui 1.12.9 with glitch kernel v13.1 EH09 radio
for what i use it all works. sms, bt, mms (wifi off), phone, alarm clock, etc..
miui control panel for the app drawer feature. maybe if you had an older version you might want to check out this newer one.
but as for other roms i have not tried any, if i get bored i might try something else but not until i read up on it so i know what im getting into.

I was using MIUI.us_mesmerizemtd_1.12.9_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_dfgas-911fix and it was about 2:30 in the morning when I finally fully restored to stock rooted 2.3.4 Gingerbread, wiped data, cache partition dalvik cache and finally rebooted after installing MIUI, I finally went to sleep at 5 in the morning after setting it all up.
I awoke at about noon & it was still running fine but I ran busybox installer so I could update the su binary & had to reboot, this was roughly between 3 - 3:30 in the afternoon &, after reboot, it just started f***ing up.
Absolutely no phone signal at all, I tried the phone activation code but it was never activated, wifi, even right next to the router, was not detected, tried a few reboots but nothing, it kept saying it was in airplane mode, when I opened the notification bar, deactivated airplane mode, it never turned back on again but only in the notification bar, in the settings menu, after turning it off & exiting the menu or going to another menu, regardless if it was from within the settings menu or not it automatically switched back on when I returned back to it, I don't know, if I can get it to work, I can live without the app drawer, its just that good to me.
I even tried the MIUI360P_ENHv3.1_universal_s enhancer thing but that just mad it so that, I forgot exactly what it was called, something about com.android.phone. (something) process kept having to be force closed but every time I pressed force close within 2 or 3 seconds it did it again & it kept repeating this over & over again, I had to pull the battery just to get out of it, but by what I saw in the forums after I tried it, its actually meant for Samsung Galaxy S II I9000, whereas I have the Samsung Galaxy S I i500, I kind of rushed into it in the hopes that it would fix the issues.
Hey guys, I recently rooted my Skyrocket and install StockMod.
It's has a kernel which support BLN.
It worked fine a couple of times, but now after reboot it doesnt work anymore! I can click 'test' in BLN Control, and it works without problem, but when I actually get a text, my touch buttons don't light up anymore.
I tried uninstalling it, and reinstalling and clearing its settings using Task Manager. No luck.
I can provide any necessary info to get this sorted out, but keep in mind I'm new to Android. But not new to Linux.
Which sms app are you using?
because if your on stock sms apps bln doesnt blink, usually just works for email. It worked perfect for everything on cm7 but I jumped ship from that rom because of lack of support and updates :/

I'd flash a ROM. I recommend CM10 to have Jelly Bean! There are a lot of ROMS in the dev section. Go choose one. Make sure you flash a recovery!
Sent from my CM10 Blaze
I'll second the recommendation to go to a JB based rom.
any convincing wins for the JB release? as i am pretty content with what i have on ICS. everything has been smooth so far, nothing buggy at all.
improvements todo: root, remove bloatware, get wifi tethering to work (currently broadcasts signal but devices cannot connect - says connection is unsuccessful)
here are my screenshots (if i should get something else):
1. Lock screen - I noticed the text notification that appears turned black in ics, which i like. it just blends in with my lock screen wallpaper. going for the simple dark black wallpaper for longer battery life? i guess haha
farm9.staticflickr.com/8250/8453732470_8826585926.jpg
2. Screen 1 - man that weather widget that comes with Eye in the Sky is the best weather app! plain simple
farm9.staticflickr.com/8251/8453732494_45cd46759f.jpg
3. Screen 2 - My home screen with a black google search bar that came with ics, yay! also using Widgetsoid with those widgets that i happen to use quite often.
farm9.staticflickr.com/8381/8453732504_333f2afecf.jpg
4. Screen 3 - Well more Widgetsoid action going here. This is my utilities section. I just decided to turn my regular icons into the widgetsoid theme. The weather is actually USB tethering now here. I am enjoying the sound recorder and flashlight of easy access.
farm9.staticflickr.com/8385/8453732484_e8fef3b090.jpg
so yep, recommend widgetsoid and eye in the sky. AND I AM A NOOB ON XDA CAN'T POST LINKS OR PICS
Swype is a little slow in messaging for some reason. A weird icon appears every time at the top of notifications indicating 'Swype in use' so that may be making swype a bit more laggy. ANYONE EXPERIENCE THIS? this new icon appears in ics and not gingerbread. what about JB?
There is the Tweaked ICS rom also if you do like ICS. It's already debloated and optimized. The Swpye icon can be diasbled in the swype options.
Also you can disable most the bloatware now that you are on the stock ICS. Go to settings > apps > select "all" and disable what you want (if it can be).
As for JB, they are all pretty good (bug free). I'm currently using Slim Bean 3.1 with the inverted packages, but you really can't go wrong with any of them. Try them and find out. But you still have to flash CWM and make a backup with it first thing.
GL and enjoy.

Some may need to have the updates uninstalled first, it's in the same location.
it seems like i was able to do a lot of stuff already without rooting. thanks to the disable app feature in ICS, it is pretty much like titanium backup. ended up bypassing the built-in hotspot check and can tether wifi.
well, i ended up rooting. so what am i to use root features on?
guess i can only think of AdFree. also, i can permanently remove disabled apps. anything else to take advantage of root access?
If you go to a Jellybean based rom, most of them have button light notifications. "What is that?", you may ask...
The blaze doesn't have an LED to visually notify you if a call came or a message came...sure, the screen can activate when the call is coming, but if you're in the other room and don't hear it, or if the phone is on silent and you don't see it, you'll never know about it until you actually check your phone by turning on the screen...
Which many people do INCESSANTLY.
Button light notifications can enable the back/home/voice/settings LED to light up so you can be notified of it. It's nice to have.
Also, Google Now works by default with JellyBean, no funny business required. I had Google Now on rooted ICS and I liked it, but the only one that works on ICS for our phone is of course a much older version of Now, and it doesn't support certain features.
Google now is great, check it out on youtube or something.
This might get asked a lot but how is the battery life on JB??
For ICS, I'm currently charging about once every 1.5 days. I usually charge it at night, sometimes I can skip one night and charge it the night after. Sometimes I do use the phone a lot during the day and need to charge it within the next night, maybe even within half a day, but rarely. Sometimes I just charge it at work, so ~1.5 days. To get the 2 days worth, I'm usually Airplane mode-ing it when I'm definitely not going to be looking at my phone, such as at work except for breaks - I can probably go 2.5 days like this, but I still charge at 2.
How does JB compare?

I was running tweaked 3.0 on FP5 and was experiencing lots of lag. I decided to upgrade to 3.2 to see if anything happens.
To do this:
1. Used ODEN to install tweaked 3.2. (I did not clear cache)
2. Reinstalled Samsung keyboard and visual voicemail.
3. Switched theme to black and blue
The phone kicked it's lag problem. I could click the applications button and don't have to watch the spinning circle (loading) for 30 seconds before getting to the apps. When I tried to make a call, the application phone (process com.sec.android.app.dialertab) stops unexpectedly. All I can do is force close.
I decided to install stock to try and get the phone to work and soft bricked it. I odened EP4 stock and got back to working phone. Woo Hoo.
I started reinstalling apps and now the phone won't work. I't crashes on open... what can I do? not install tweaked 3.2?
--
So does the phone crash when on stock or no? Can you get a logcat of the FC? Might show why it's all angry and what not. If you can shoot it my way
Having a better night

The phone does not crash on stock ROM and I figured out what to do to keep it from crashing, I think... besides, I have no idea how to get a logcat. someone tried to explaine it once, but my brain melted and I never was able to figure it out.
Fix:
I went back to EP4 ROM via ODEN. I then took 2 OTA updates to get to FP5.
I then used ODEN to add CWM and tweaked 3.2
Last night when I added the software I also added Visual Voice mail and the Samsung keyboard. Unfortunatly, the keyboard I founf on my PC would not install so I download it again. Somehow the one I downloaded was not the one that was supposed to be on the phone and I think that was what was killing it. The new keyboard had multiple languages including Russian. For now I have not loaded Samsung keyboard.
I also want to load Visual Voicemail and the stock screen capture. I am afraid of killing the ability to make calls and view contacts. where can i get the samsung keyboard, visual voicemail app and stock screen capture app for FP5?
On a side note, despite the phone working good and showing no sines of lag, the Youtube app crashes every so often. I'll probably uninstall it.
Another thing of note that might just be a theme issue or might be by design: I'm on black and blue theme and the 4 home buttons, phone, contacts, messaging, and apps are not evenly spaced right and left. they seem a bit squished together.
Almost forgot...I can't get haptic feedback to work. It works in Stock ROM and worked yesterday in tweaked 3.0 before I monkey'd with the phone.

Well at least there was an improvement
Not sure why haptic would stop... and the launcher thing is odd - screenshot?
You should be able to pull the needed apks for VVM and keyboard from the zip full of apks in the Tweaked 3.2 OP - or you could use tweaktools. Sorry for all the troubles!
Is there a way to disable/eable haptic in the ROM that I failed to notice? I did see the toggle in the android settings.

Haptic feedback
I managed to find a setting for haptic feedback in the TMS Parts > General which does not seem to do much of anything.
I did find tactile feedback for the lock screen. Now I can unlock the phone without looking. I also have tactile feedback on the keyboard. I'm missing it on the home screens.
Maybe this is a desired function of the ROM?

Hmm...
Yeah the haptic bit in tsmparts doesn't seem to do much - it did at one point (likely the Froyo days) but I forget about it and leave it in there it seems lol - have you tried going into sound settings? I think there is a haptic or vibrate type option in there that you can turn on/off, though I'm not 100% on that one.
