Ok first off I have to say that this site is great I have found alot of helpfull and some confusing topics here lol. the other day I downloaded the cyanogen mod 7 and everything is working perfectly on my htc evo sprint
my only problem I noticed is that I dont know how to revert back to The HTC Sense ui. My other question is that I noticed alot of different roms on here and some I have tried installing but some wont work for me and some freeze when i attempt to reboot. Can anyone help me out please!!!
To revert back to Sense from Cyanogen, you'll have to reflash the ROM that came stock on your device. You should be able to find this in the forum for your device (EVO).
There are many different ROMs available here, some will work for you and some you may experience difficulty with. Most Devs usually post step-by-step instructions for installing their ROMs in the Opening Post (OP) of the thread. If you follow these you'll usually be fine, and you can always flash back to stock and start again if you get into trouble.
Good luck, and welcome to XDA
Did you do a nandroid backup first? If not, you should always do one before flashing. If you did, just restore through your recovery & you'll be back where you were before.
If CM7 is functional but you just don't like it, I would go ahead and do a nandroid backup anyway, so if anything messes up you'll at least have something working you can restore.
If you want something like stock, I would suggest the Sprint Lover's Rom. Myn's Warm 2.2 would also be good, or you could try out Warm Z which is the new version of Sense. I'm assuming you like Sense as a UI & as a launcher?
I've heard great things about Mikfroyo as well. If you're new to rooting/flashing, I would suggest using a stable Rom instead of an experimental one - at least until you get the hang of it.
If you're having trouble flashing ROMs, try switching to Amon Ra recovery (I assume you're using clockwork) and try flashing again. You can do this through ROM Manager (it came with CM7). Just choose "flash alternate recovery".
Before rooting, modifying, and flashing ROMs, you're supposed to have a clear understanding of it all. I suggest reading the stickies in the Evo forums & any guides you can find. Read everything. Seriously.
I have an Evo as well, so if you need anything, I'm here. Just ask. If you need some guidance & handholding, send me a pm & I'll walk you through everything. Just be sure to educate yourself. There's no such thing as knowing too much when it comes to modifying your phone.
EDIT: If the phone gets stuck on the splash screen after flashing a Rom, it's most likely because you didn't wipe properly. Be sure to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik cache.
Thank u kindly
Both of you were helpful I will take my time and read and explore the forums in hopes of understanding clearly yes i am running clockwork is this ananran better? if so how can i use it ?
Sorry to post here but was not allowed to post in dev section.
After using the first version 3.1 i was very happy all looked good. With HTC Widget and such.
After updating to 4.1 i have lost the HTC widgets. What may i have done wrong.
Wiped data/fac also dalvik and cache.
Any help is greatly appricaited.
Also i can not get the EQS to work :|
Was on 3.1 before flashed new.
Flash v4.3 and look if they are back
Presume i dont flash with the tweaks to get the EQS and such ?
But i will test it without it
Thank you
Wipe,flash the ROM and then the boot.img
Flash the tweak package after the first boot, EQS is in the tweak package

This i will test Thank you
I have had this flaw of the phone where shell goes off so sending it to warrenty so it will take a week or two but i will update you on reply for this!
Thank you again @Torxx
I think I'm still to new too but I do have a question as well...
I have trickdroid 3.0 for tmus and granted I really do enjoy it... no bloatware battery seem to last longer for my extensive uses. I must thank you very much.
My two dilemas and maybe I didn't do the process correctly (I'm new to android world, Iphone was my thing) but it feels like my data speed aren't as they used to (at least in some areas). then number two the calls I'm getting are all coming up unknown and all of them are from people I know, have saved in my phonebook, used to show up fine before... Any advice would be appreciated
THanks
Working as the best! didnt send it in anyways so had to reflash and all.
Works perfectly!
Hi!
I flashed pac-rom but it keeps my phone awake 24hrs even when i am sleeping therefore 70% battery consumption when i am sleeping and everyday i have been posting in that thread for help or update but dev has left,and this was a stable version with never ending problems for me.So i want to remove this and see if the other rom also behaves like this or not.
I want to remove this rom and gapps as well but i am a newbie and never did this before.I will be really grateful if someone guide me step by step in this.
Please reply soon coz i am not able to live a normal life as battery is creating problems for me.Thanks a lot in advance

As i said i am newbie things are not clear to me and what i asked in the question is not mentioned clearly and exactly.And since 7 days i am stuck in this esp last three days coz either the rom is a problem or need to be reflashed.And how to remove gapps etc that is not clear dear.Anyone who has a helping nature would write few lines or steps if he wants to help.My head is screwed up with this rom,nothing is working properly and all the time i am busy with my phone.Can't even open my eyes now as i have been continously looking at small screen.
Do not know if i have to reset the phone again or what,how to remove gapps as i do not have google store,gmail and maps in that. I always try to help a newbie coz i know he will not understand things clearly and can screw up,and in my case an experience person can tell if it is some thing else i should do along with that i.e if he would be concerned.
You are the king man so you would not know these small petty things.
Anyway thanks for whatever best you could do.
@kitu34: The procedure for flashing a new ROM is always the same:
1. Download the ROM, put it on your SD card (I recommend creating a folder in your SD card for your ROMs, kernels, etc., so that they're all in one place, but that's just a suggestion, not a requirement. Optional: Download the recommended GAPPS package for the ROM (if the ROM comes with built-in GAPPS, no need to download this).
2. Boot into recovery. You should be able to reboot into recovery simply by pressing power button > reboot > recovery. If not, then shutdown the phone and press & hold power+volume down+home.
3. In recovery, perform a factory reset (wipe data & cache), wipe dalvik-cache, and wipe system.
4. In recovery, flash the zip of the ROM you want to install (the procedure for this depends on your custom recovery; just browse around the menus for the option to flash a zip). If the ROM has a separate GAPPS package, you can also flash it here. Note: Always flash the GAPPS after you flash the ROM, not before.
5. Reboot system.
Flashing a custom kernel uses the same procedure, except you only wipe cache & dalvik-cache in step 3.

Update the ROM? Do you mean flashing a newer version of the same ROM? Some ROMs can be updated by simply wiping cache, dalvik, & system (no need to wipe data), then flashing the new version. Personally, I advise doing a clean install every time when installing a new ROM, even if it's just an update. That means a full wipe: data, cache, dalvik-cache, & system. A clean install helps you avoid potential errors.

If you want good battery life, then I suggest staying away from Jelly Bean ROMs for now -- the battery drain is huge. If you want to try a stable JB ROM, then the latest Jenkins build is good, as long as you don't mind battery drain and a couple of relatively major bugs (those being bluetooth A2DP not working and wifi hotspot reboot).
If you want a relatively more stable, but still high-end, ROM, then stick with ICS. Hephappy's CM9 is good (check the thread in the General LG-P500 forum), or if you want a tweaked & modded ICS, then get neko95's ICySNAP.
That said, the king of battery life still is Gingerbread. I'm personally using the latest unofficial CM7.2 build by FitAmp; it's stable and with good battery life, better than ICS or JB.

ok then for now i will try jenkin's coz that was the first rom i downloaded on my pc but did not flash.actually i have serious battery and other issues that is why i am just getting rid of this now and then read about the roms you mentioned.after fashing i will tell you how it goes and if that also has a battery issue then the next...so kind of you to help as there are very few people here who really want to help.(the other day grgtm from cebu really helped me when my phone went in fastboot,cebu guys are damn good hehe)thanks a lot

I am doing with jenkins as i already have but it does not have gapps as i am not flashing the very last update which has gapps with it.\So is it ok to use rashed's cm10's mini gapps?

Yes, Rashed's mini gapps is for all cm10.x roms, including the Jenkins builds.
Edit: By the way, grgtm is from Romania, not Cebu (Philippines). You probably got him mixed up with someone else.

The home button not working is a result of a GAPPS error when the system partition is too full. You'll need to trim the ROM prior to flashing (search the cm10 thread; it's too complicated for me to explain here) or download the version of cm10.1 with built-in GAPPS. The fact of the matter is, our phones has a very small system partition, hence why we have to go to all this trouble when using JB.

Thanks,but first i am trying to reflash coz in the first time i wiped even cache partition and now i will try without that coz i did not yet get an answer to how to trim
You're seriously going to need to learn how to help yourself, @kitu34. Instead of asking for step-by-step instructions all the time, try looking for them yourself; simply using the "search this thread" function and running a search for "trim" in Rashed's thread would give you what you need. In fact, here's the link to the program used to trim ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33349661 -- that link was in the first post of Rashed's thread, labeled (and in very big letters) CLICK ME. The instructions for using the program is also in the thread, and the program's interface is so simple that simply browsing around should tell you what to do.

I tried Jenkins with rashed's mini gapps and worked perfectly(except battery drain), instead using an tool for rom editing, use an app like root uninstaller to get read of unnecessary apps to free some space on internal memory or use an d2ext script(but it got some strange behavior from my phone, you need a really fast sd card, an class 10 for that, and a reliable brand, mine is class 4, so in the final, sd card will worth half price of the phone)

Thanks,i have both titanium and es explorer,can i do with that by simply uninstalling system app? Actually someone told me not to this way and instead trim the rom.Even i am confused what is the difference.Either it creates problems or the amount of space we get by uninstalling with titanium is less compared to trimming the rom.
I will later what i did later.
Hey Guys, I'm currently running CM 10-20121126-NIGHTLY-evita and I wish to completely install a new ROM because i'm starting to have tons of problems. To begin, the camera app on the stock ROM worked alot more smooth and quicker and in some cases the quality was much better. There were also many instincts where my the apollo music player randomly crashes or show up the album names rather than the song title. In short, i've had a bad experience with this ROM for the past several months and wish to either return to the stock ROM, or any other ROMs that you guys suggest!
I've had a hard installing the ROM the first time so i've completely forgot how I would install a new ROM and everything! So which ones do you guys suggest I use which doesn't compromise performance with the camera, stable and overall a well rounded ROM?
Best/favourite ROM threads are against the rules, therefore we can't really answer. You'll have to look through the available ROMs, look at their features, and decide which one is going to suit you. Download a few and flash them for yourself, you'll find out pretty quick what you like and what you don't like.
Sent from my Evita
Everyone has different preferences and expectations, so asking for a ROM suggestion is like going on an internet forum to ask people to decide for you what your favorite color is. Its also an insult to the devs that work so hard to bring us these ROMs, as suggesting one ROM, implies that the others are somehow inferior. Plus, performance and stability are not always a function of the ROM, but how you use it or have it setup. So again, what one person experiences, may not apply to you.
Just browse through the ROMs, pick one or a couple that look good to you, and flash away. This is what the rest of us do.
Flashing ROMs is very simple. Just read up, and it will come back to you. But in short:
1) Backup your app data with Titanium, if you wish. Backup other personal data as you wish.
2) Download or transfer ROM to the phone's SD
3) Reboot into recovery
4) Backup your current ROM, in case you decide to revert
5) Wipe Dalvik, cache, and factory reset in recovery (not in bootloader).
6) Flash the ROM
7) If hboot 1.14 or later, and S-On, then flash boot.img using fastboot
8) Reboot
9) Beer
Greetings XDA Users;
I'm fair experienced with Android 2.3 (Actually quite experienced with Acer e310 / Fastboot & ADB).
My girlfriend gave me a Samsung i9003 SL (XWKPG) phone.
I was choosing the rom wich could suit me better and i messed up something. I have installed the KitKat Rom from ehndroix; and tried to roll back to ICS ROM (Wich i loved and could manipulate for my needs).
The device softbricked. (Couldnt get into the system). I've re-flashed "XWKPG-Cfroot-08112011" with Odin to get inside the CWM.
Now im stuck in the CWM, and cannot install anything.
As far as i've searched there is no fastboot mode for Samsung; and i'm not sure if the ehndroix changed my partitions.
So i cannot manually flash Roms (Boot / data / userdata / system / flex etc...) on my device.
With this said and before i do something that could hardbrick my device i'm kindly requesting your help to recover my device.
I also tried to get the stock rom but unfortunly ALL links in the entire web seem to be broken.
Note: I'm not experienced with Odin (in wich i've read several posts saying that if i'm using it while my partition system was changed can actually mess my device).
So i stopped before doing harmfull moves to this amazing device.
Note 2 (ICS ROM Bug!?): Ehndoix ICS Rom wasnt letting me to get network. Any idea why?
Any help would be 100% appreciated and thankfull.
Best Regards
Help Request- More Info
- I dont have any *.pit files.
- I have Stock ROM CWM Backup
- I have ICS ROM CWM Backup
But none can be flashed using CWM.

Thanx for the quick repply and for the partitioning info. I hope that by flashing the CFRoot i didnt messed up anything.

That tutorial lead me to more dead links or (if i unlock my hosts) to an ad page without a way to get the pack.
Either ways i could restore my device with another way.
I flashed a *.md5 file from another website with Odin; (ill try to post the name of the site; filename and link here later); booted the drvice under cwm;
Erased cache and data; recovered my previous backup of ICS rom and restarted.
That helped me for now. Later ill just have to check i my device has network signal or other errors due to this way of flashing.
Im gratefull for your help. Also going to press "thank" if it is possible with this new account.

Yesterday i went up so tired in testing roms that i completely forgot to say how it went.
Resuming:
Tested several Roms; 100% were pure garbage. I wanted an ICS rom.. I realized that battery goes waaaay to fast on almost every rom.
Sadly couldnt find a Stock GB ROM with ICS theme. Well... i could install or flash a theme. I actually tried flashing 3 themes
One lead my device mad rebooting every 10sec. Lulz!
So i went back to stock; installed wich is for me the best launcher ("Nemus"); added my favourite wallpaper; removed all the bloatware; installed favourite apk's and got quite happy with it.
Ofcourse not what i wanted.. But i have consider that Stock is perfect. Customs for this device (Samsung) are not unfortunly.
Next thing to get will be a Kernel with smartass governor.
Overall:
Samsung is far more difficult to manipulate than my Acer Liquid Mini e310. But i can say i understand a little bit how it works now; thanks to your help.
I freaking miss fastboot mode...
But life goes on.
Once again many thanks; you got me learning new methods really fast.

So... Deodexing using this method. Correct?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53119142
I just cant find anywhere the file (CF-Root that enables deodexig) for my device "XWKPG".
But i could get the 2nd file (*.zip file)

I'm wondering if this file only is enough.
I've been removing unwanted apk's with es file explorer.
And i noticed that the device gets problems like:
- Restarting while watching youtube videos.
- Experiencing some lags. (although it happens with stock firmware from sammobile without removing the apk's).
Wich i find weird. My Acer e310 doesnt Lag a bit. Either undeclocked or overclocked.
One of the resons i find My Acer Waaayyy faster than Samsung i9003. (Probably due to having 512mb Ram)

You are in the right direction, that trhead is the one who has the files for odex stock firm but it seems some links are dead. Maybe you get lucky and someone give a mirror.
Its the odex.zip file what you need not deleteunwantapp....zip, this is for remove easily unnecesary sistem apps.
From other side, theres good lag free roms for the sl, maybe you dont find the best ones or your flashing methods are not the optimus for each rom or maybe your configuration and installed apps are killing you. Who knows? Keep in mind you have an sl. Even flagships devices like s3,4,5, motox,lg2... Sometimes have some lag under certain conditions.

- Using DDLF2 Rom with Bam Kernel
But there is a catch to perform a Clean install. Seems like everything you've done before gets allocated somewhere on the device. Like some previous settings and files or apk's.
So everytime you flash a rom some stuff from the previous flash will be there causing some sort of problems.
So to prevent errors like: crashes, auto brightness not working, having apk's you havent installed, etc you/i Always have to:
- Perform Cleaning*
- Perform factory Reset
- Flash sammobile firmware
- Flash CF-Root
- Perform Cleaning*
- Flash DDLF2
- Flash Bam Kernel
- Flash the Kernel "Fix" (Fixes Wifi)
- Perform Factory Reset
* Erase Cache; Dalvik Cache; Format Boot, Data and System
And the device performs everything more eficiently with just a few lags.
Some more tweaks:
- Im using Android Assistant app (to automatically clean my device cache)
Unfortunly i couldt find a way to use ext4 on this device yet. At least tried everything i did on my Acer e310 (Wich is running perfectly and Overclocked with impressive battery life).
Im pretty sure that by having ext4 will improve even more the performance of the device and certainly kill all the lags. Like i did in my e310.
Note: My e310 wich is 2 times faster than any iphone3 and probably the fastest (stable) e310 in the world. (So many months working to achieve that - im a prowd owner). Sadly just doesnt support flash. ^^
Either ways the way to go for our Samsung would be using the internal SDCard partition as ext4.
But so far all i could get were crashes, stops and reboots.
I also dont have "apk"s suffocating my device. Even after a clean flash it will lag a lot. Wich i dont think it is normal for any device.
But i will keep up untill i get the perfection as usual.
By comparing my devices i think the issue is the difference of Ram.
My e310 has 512mb.
My i9003 has only 256mb.
This said the sollution is logical.
The device needs Ram. In this case "virtual ram".

Try this kernel

It have the posibility to convert to ext4, and sl have 512m of ram too.

Greetings acuicultor;
Thanks for the information.
I will check the Kernel after work.
And you are right i completely forgot that i must have a compatible Kernel. I didnt even checked if Bam Kernel supports it.
About device Ram:
Seriously? I would swear ive seen 256mb). Thats totaly good news and very Interesting.
Since the combination between 512mb ram and ext4 is often good and it will be even better than i was expecting.

Nice Kernel. I just noticed i wrote the wrong Kernel name i am using.
Im not using the Bam kernel; but Bagaria's. (The same you recommended)
I've installed the ext4 apk and converted the partitions.
I can see a fairly good difference.
So far no freezes but there's still some lag. Specially waiting for the device to respond in several situations. But it is faster.
I shall re flash everything and see the difference.
By the way; can you advise any custom Rom without bugs?
I use almost everything in a device so bugs cannot exist.
Just a note for the people who may be following.
If you intend to use the same rom with the same kernel.
My rom ( DDLF2 ) requires a fix file found on the last pages of bagaria kernel thread.
It fixes the stuck wifi (wich happens after flashing the Kernel file).
Meanwhile i found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133
In wich it seems a good idea but can wear off nand.
This is the idea of what i intended to do. But im giving up because i want the device to work for years.

Bugless rom for sl dont exist though, but theres some roms working perfectly like "Fly on gb" by lolation and "qwerty rom" by IoSconosciuto booth roms runned pretty good in my old SL.
I really flashed EVERY script available in xda on that device and only gain freezes and random reboots, i think is better to keep the sl's roms lighter, just little tweaks in build prop. Thats what worked best for my device.

I agree. I've tried 5 / 6 roms so far and also noticed that they come with apps that are useless. I havent checked the scripts yet.
But i still agree with you.
Probably there are too many and / or duplicated scripts.
If i get more time ill try to make a custom rom myself and try to make it lighter.
Although it will require some more knowledge specially with the performance scripts.
I cant complaint much now. After i configured the ext4 my device is now running way better!
I will try one more rom (Nameless Rom) and see how it works.
Please press thanks if it helped you.

I think this will be my last question. Thanks to everyone for your support and patience.
My knowledge for this speciffic device and servicing has been evolving a lot since i started this thread. (Also by soft bricking the device - lol).
So here's the question:
Ive seen several times references like "xwkpg", "ddlf2", "xwkpq", etc.
What do these references stand for?
Rom type for specific i9003 versions?
Or rom variants that can be installed in any i9003?
i.e: what would happen if i flash a xwkpq rom on a xwkpg device?
