For my new ROM please go HERE
Installation instructions & other useful information
To install on your Evo:
1. Copy OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip to the root of your SD card.
2. Shut off your phone and boot into recovery.
3. Do a full wipe (Data, cache, Dalvik, SD Ext.) Do it twice to be sure if you want to!
4. Install OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip. It should take a few minutes to install.
5. Reboot the phone. It should take a long time to start up the first time. Please be patient!
6. If all goes well, enjoy your new ROM!
7. If not, start over from step 2 after pulling your battery.
To install a custom kernel: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the custom kernel and reboot.
To install a theme: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the theme and reboot.
How to backup and restore using Titanium backup Here is the method I use to backup my phone information before I wipe and install a new ROM
I backup my entire phone with a batch "Backup all user apps + system data"
Wipe and install the new ROM,
I open Titanium Backup (TB) and give it super user rights.
I hit "Updates?" in TB and make sure I am running the latest.
I hit "Problems?" in TB and make sure I am using Busybox 1.60
Hit menu and select batch
Select "Backup all new apps + newer versions of apps", if any.
Select "Restore missing apps with data"
Go over the list and make sure you are restoring only what you want
Hit run batch operation
After it completes, go back into TB and backup restore.
Restore contacts twice
Restore MMS twice
Restore Mail twice
If any of the 3 above do not take, do it again
Restart your phone
Verify mail, MMS, and contacts restored. If not, restore again.
Why Amon RA and not Clockwork recovery?
Clockwork does not wipe the Dalvik properly (if at all). I personally have had nothing but problems with both Clockwork and ROM manager
I have said countless times that if you use either of the above, it is at your own risk. Install Amon RA recovery and I bet any wiping/installing problems will go away.
If you already are using ROM manager, pick the option to install a custom recovery, choose Amon RA 1.8. If that option is greyed out, reinstall the latest Clockwork then install RA.
Note: Do not do a fix permissions with anything unless you need to, you can screw stuff up that way.
Trust me, the new ROM is devoid of problems (I have never tested a ROM this much before releasing it). If you experience any, it is either something you are doing wrong or incomplete wipes thanks to your recovery not doing it's job properly.
What is the proper method to install the ROM and other things (kernels, themes, and mods, etc.)
Lets say you want to add a kernel, a theme, and then a clock modification.
Nandroid first!
ROM: Wipe data, cache, Dalvik (twice), SD:EXT.
Install the ROM.
Let the ROM load up the first time.
Sign into your Google account
Let it sync
When the sync icon goes away, reboot into recovery.
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the theme
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the kernel
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
Wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the clock MOD
Reboot
This is my method and works every time without issue. Obviously, to install another item, you would repeat the process.
Hope this both helps and clarifies.
Which kernels work with this ROM?
Any that are designed for a Sense ROM. This includes:
Netarchy's
Kingclick's
Hero Over's
Ziggy's
HTC's
Which kernel do you recommend to use?
I cannot recommend a kernel for you because each EVO reacts different. The best for my phone can be the worse for yours.
You have to try the different ones available and pick the one that works best for you. What I do is start with their latest and work your way down until you find one that works well. Then stick with it.
This also goes for overclocking, SetCPU settings, etc.
Which themes work with this ROM?
Themes make your phone look nice but can also add problems to an otherwise smooth running ROM. You can use any theme you wish, but Nandroid first and if anything is broken, please do not blame the ROM as it is the theme that added the problem.
This includes my older modded themes and any theme made for 3.29 and 3.30 OTA updates They may work or they may work but break things.
Using my theme avoids this problem. It matches with my ROM perfectly and breaks nothing. Also, my theme is optimized for maximum speed and reduces the overhead of a theme (most themes are not optimized and add a bunch of stuff which increases system overhead, reduces battery life and speed a bit). As an added perk, it is a small download.
Hey, what gives? How come this ROM is saying it is 3.30.651.2 when I thought it was the 3.30.651.3 OTA?
3.30.651.3 is NOT a full ROM, it is a kernel and a few other minor changes. This is why the OTA is 7 MB or less instead of 160+ MB like a ROM usually is.
There is no issue, this is the 3.30.651.3 update. Hence the HTC # 17 kernel. Notice the screenshot in the first post also says that mine has 3.30.651.2? That is because basically this is a bandaid for a recently released OTA. That is why the number went up in the last decimal place. A major update would be like 3.31.XXX.X
sounds good, any screenies?

Well, without recooking it or using a theme (which would take out my wallpapers) no. Let me see if I can come up with a better solution. If not I will re-cook it with a different battery icon.
EDIT: Replacement battery indicator included in the first post for anyone who does not like the circle battery indicator the ROM is cooked with.
ricsim78 said:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752658 See here, download and flash whichever one you want. This is for anyone who wants to change the battery indicator.

EDIT: Going to be recooking with the smooth battery with percentage indicator. I like that battery best and think it is far more useful. Thanks for your feedback jgalan14 and glad you like it!

That is the font from the Manup theme, I like it too
I added a link to download a recovery flashable battery indicator (changes battery to smooth with percentage) in the first post. This way you can keep the stock circular one or switch it if you do not like it. Choice is good!

Thanks for the compliments and I am glad you like. There is 4 custom wallpapers included, I found them from Desktop Nexus and resized them to fit the Evo screen (960x800) using Paint.net for Windows 7.
You should also check out the custom ring tones and notifications!

That was how this ROM was born, I liked almost all of the ones on the board, but none had the ringtones, notifications, or wallpapers I wanted.
Problem solved! Glad to see it is working for everyone as well. I had no problems with this ROM, think it helps that it is based off the OTA and not a custom ROM.
I will keep this ROM updated. Future plans is to come up with a Sense removed, AOSP element version and add more customizations. I also need to update some of the apps (TB, to name one). I kept some of the stock Sprint stuff in just so no one had problems updating the Voicemail or other Sprint apps left in.
Please rate the thread and let me know if there is anything I should include, change, etc. etc.

Sounds good man, hehe. Please let me know what you think and I hope you like this ROM.
I begin work on the next version of Azrael today, expect version 2.1 out soon, By Wednesday I should have it tested out and ready to go.
Known changes I am going to be making:
-all apps updated
-battery indicator changed to Smooth battery with percentage (far more useful than the one Azrael 2.0 is cooked with and so far the only complain heard about this ROM) *knock on wood*
-Another custom wallpaper or 3 thrown in for good measure
Whatever changes I make, I will of course note them in the release notes.
I also want to get some more theme options available, maybe modify some themes so they do not take out my custom wallpapers. That way you can make this ROM more how you want it to be as well.
I really hope everyone who tries this likes it, I know I am up there with some really good ROM makers here that have far more reputation, but so far everything has been positive and I hope that at least a few people find my work useful.
Lastly, I am glad to offer another ROM option and give back to a community that has given me much.
Welcome to the Second &nd My Second Custom ROM for the Sidekick 4G
This is my Version of a Gingerbread/SGSII Clone that i have put alot of work into and took alot of time to get this theme how i wanted it.
it is HIGHLY Recommended that You update to this ROM From Smooth Maximus X.
For the many that like the SMX Theme and themed apps it will be posted in themes and apps section soon to flash over this ROM
MORE SCREENSHOTS Are HERE !!
INFO
Base: SK4G.KD1/SGS4G.UVKD1 2.2.1
Rooted with Modded Recovery to enable flashing into CWM
Deodexed 100%
All Apps Optimized and zip-aligned
Framework Optimized and Zipaligned
All System apps Up to date
Debloated (Like Smooth Maximus X)
Kernel: Bali 2.2
Modem: KD1
Custom Theme based on Gingerbread made by me (Mostly Built From Xperia Arc, AOSP 2.3, and SGSII 2.3 Gingerbread, With my own little touch)
SGSII System App icons
SGSII Live Wallpapers + More
Nexus S Ringtones and Notification + Added more Alarm Sounds.
Nexus(S) Boot Animation + Custom Nexus Shutdown with sound.
Build.prop Edits (Changed Default Ringtones/Notifications, Changes to improve scrolling + UI performance + much More)
Stock/Default Font
Stock Transitions/Animations
Many init.d tweaks for better overall performance.
Additional INFO
Gallery images will load so fast ! (after first reboot, all tweaks should kick in)
Unlocking has never been so smooth ..
The Only Launchers Included is LauncherPro (Amazing, see in the market to see what its capable of.)
And Touchwiz4.5 Launcher by Fr4gg0r! (Also Amazing, See the Original Thread to See what it can do)
Phone now instantly rings when someone dials out/calls your number
Wifi scan interval inscreased by 20% to save battery (changed from 1 min scan to 1.2 min scan)
Most apps are stock (Unthemed, but with themed icons from SGSII)
AOSP Apps: Email, Clock, Calculator.
Some apps themed to look like SGSII Twiz and not the Custom SK4G Twiz (nothing too much)
For those who care about quadrant scores you can get anything from 1250-1550 Just like with Smooth Maximus X
Overall this ROM is Based on Smooth Maximus X which is very fast, but i've made ALOT of changes and testing the edits i made. Things like apps staying in memory, scrolling stutters, pulldown stutters and Much more have been improved and i honestly dont see how it can get better from here (But you decide lol). This will be my flagship ROM so if/when i come up with ideas/mods/tweaks it will be updated for this ROM and Not Smooth Maximus X unless i decide to make time for it.

* First Off, its ALWAYS good to keep a nandroid backup incase you run into a problem.
if you dont already know how to, Do it From CWM recovery. Go to Backup/restore > Backup and it will backup your phone system ,data ect and you can restore it back to this state From CWM whenever you want. *

Flash though CWM - Just Like Smooth Maximus X
Instructions -
- Put zip file in your /sdcard
- Reboot into cwm recovery
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
(Optional but recommended to prevent any minor issues)-Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM
*Now before you Flash, Only if this is your FIRST time Flashing a Custom ROM otherwise ignore the mounts/unmount part*
MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNTS LOOK LIKE THIS: (Go to mounts and storage from CWM recovery)
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Now its safe to Flash the .zip
(Optional but recommended)-Wipe Cache then Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM before Rebooting.
(AGAIN IGNORE UNLESS THIS IS your First time installing a custom ROM) after you flash, go back to mounts and storage and make sure your mounts look like this
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
(To First Time installers, System Needs to be set to Unmount, though it would really be mounted. If you do Not do this you will have a softbrick and will have to ODIN to stock and start all over ....) Once you have Flashed a Custom ROM or Bali 2.2 Kernel you dont have to worry about mounts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
AFTER THE ROM BOOTS, i Recommend letting it sit for about 5 mins without use so cache and stuff builds back up, then log into google from gmail/market or someway, let google sync for 5 mins then reboot again. then you will have your Sidekick 4G in the best state its ever been

the color scheme in my pictures are messed up a little im sorry but you get the idea of the rom
When i recieve a txt message i get no alert or flashing light with LBC 0.6. I also have other issues being:
Txt messages show phone numbers instead of names
Power down doesn't actually power down, it appears to hibernate instead.
I would report them in the developers section but can't due to forum limits on new users.
Not upgraded as yet myself as not had opportunity, but do intend to tomorrow.
did you perform the required wipes pre install? (have to ask)

Good call on the fast boot option. Thats one crossed off. Hopefully the alert issue is a simple fix

oh and to answer your other question i used the following file to wipe :

I had the same problem. i reinstalled the rom using rom manager (clean install) with the "sense 3 sms" checked. now it works perfectly
Thanks for the suggestion. I have installed without a clean install and I get an error message on screen when receiving a txt.
I shall try with a clean install 2moz.
If it works I shall report the issue to lbc so that he can fix the base Rom.

I'm faced with the same bug like you, Don't receive any Text-Notifications. Well, I do a full wipe before it (System/data/cache/dalvik) and using the 2.1 Version. I'm now using GO SMS and it works well. But I think I'll give the 3.0 Sms a try
just my personal opinion, the Sense v3 SMS application is much better anyway, has more features and more user friendly !
Tried the following:
full wipe
install LBC 0.6
install sms app 3.0 addon
still no alert when recieving messages
Time to post in the developers section!

Took full Nandroid backup
Wiped CACHE
Wiped DALVIK CACHE
flashed v0.6.0 ROM (did previously edit ZIP to remove some APK's (including EXT4 recovery - as had issue with upgrade))

Can always count on Ben for a thorough recap
However I read from others that sms will work fine if you also flash the sense 3 lockscreen. I'm choosing to stick with the default so I would like to get the sms working without the new lockscreen.
I'm going to flash the sms app again to see if that patches the problem up. But will take a while before someone actually sends me a text

This is a tweaked versions of CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-B11 so all credit goes to killersloth for the ROM. Without his work this ROM wouldn't be possible. So if you like this ROM please go to the CARBON ROM thread and click the "Thanks" button.
Changes Made:
Replaced Trebuchet launcher with Nova launcher.
Replaced stock gallery with Sony Z Album and Movie app (Facebook & Twitter integration working.)
Added Sony Z Walkman app with UPNP/DLNA Media Server.
Replaced the default kernel with the kernel from CM10.1 Stable by verygreen.
Added BeatsAudio+xLoud+ClearAudio for audio effects and ViPER4Android for the sound engine. Settings I am using.
Added Mobile BRAVIA® Engine for improved video processing.
Modified Adobe Flash 11.1 with Hulu support.
Host level ad blocking. If you are having issues with adblocking see attachments to remove it.
Forced all rendering to be done on the GPU. Should help with gaming and make things more smoother. To help improve performance even further see this post.
GoogleEars.
Kick Ass Kernelizer
Auto-zipalign and defragdb on boot
Auto Calibration on boot. Only does a few programs each boot. So may take a few reboots to calibrate all of them.
Plus many improvements taken from this thread.
I also added some terminal commands.
Run each command with SU first then the command.
fixfc - Fix apps force closing.
sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition
v6 - run the V6 SuperCharger script. I would run this as soon as the ROM is setup..
Know bugs
Not a bug as such but something you should be aware of. It does take a few reboots to optimise all the apps.
V4A XHiFi may do a hot reboot when first getting root, same with Root Browser. This will only happen once and will work fine afterwards. This is only normally an issue if you try getting ROOT on first boot. On the second reboot this doesn't happen.
Wifi will turn off then back on while it is setting up wl1271-nvs.bin. Once the file is created Wifi shouldn't disconnect.
Any more issues please report them.

If you would like to use the WALKMAN app from the Sony Xperia Z Ultra you can do so by flashing this: Xperia-Ultra_WALKMAN_SemcMusic.zip. Make sure you boot into the ROM before flashing. If you flash this without booting into the ROM first it will not work.
Most of the features in the Sony Xperia Z Ultra WALKMAN are working but "Music Unlimited" service isn't.
Thank you, I will give it a try.
Do we use the gapps from the original carbon threads?
And how do you flash the scrips? Just like any other zip file? Can it be done when installing this ROM ?

I just added the scripts as a separate download so other devs can take a look at them without downloading the whole ROM. All the scripts are included in the ROM. Everything you need is built into the ROM. Just download it and install.
unstable
I installed on top of Carbon B9 without wiping anything and everything was forceclosing.Then I wiped cache partiion and Dalvick cache and reinstalled ,it was usable thistime but several apps still forceclosing including Chrome,I went back to Carbon.

If you did not install with full wipe I am note sure it is fair to mark it as unstable. Did you even attempt to clear the app data for the apps foreclosing?
have not tried this yet but just thought labeling the effort as unstable prior to proper install is not fair.

Just installed with full wipe restoring apps and data from TB. So far everything is ok.
Feels slightly less laggy than B9.
Dunno about battery life yet.
This is working great for me.
I did a dirty flash over RootBox and it's really nice.
Been the best rom for me on my Nook so far. Pinguy1982, please keep the thread updated mate.
Only issue I had was my usual
Android.process.acore has stopped
Which I resolved by following the text below. (cribbed from somewhere on the net)
If you go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/ then choose the All tab. Scroll down to Contacts open it and clear the data cache. Now do the same again but this time open Contact Storage and also clear the data cache. This issue is related to an Android bug and affects many devices. It's related to apps that use the sync function.
Works for me.
Cheers all

I agree completely and would urge the poster to revise his comment or certainly remove the subject. Way too hasty and unfair to make such a quick judgment certainly in the absence of a full or data wipe.

Sorry if I offended you.My understanding is that you wipe data only if you are installing in place of different ROM.It was carbon on top of Carbonand I did not feel I needed to wipe data partition.

Dude it's all cool. But I have changed a fair bit to the ROM so just installing over it probably won't work. I have made drastic changes to how dalvik works so using pre-installed apps from a previous install probably won't work.

Do you mind building a version for the Nook HD ?
so using apps from titanium backup would be a problem?

Apps no, dalvik cache maybe. Restoring apps settings and the apps won't be a problem, but using the dalvik cache might be.
The cache is in /data/dalvik-cache. Using that maybe an issue.

thanks.I always clear out dalvik cache anyway when I try new stuff. I was thinking of trying it. the new build of cm 10.1 seems to match up with my tablet perfectly so we will see. thanks for the ROM. the more the better

I did this too, but wiped dalvik, no force closes, but status bar is gone and can't get it back... going to try flashing again...
Just flashed a couple of hours ago and seems pretty rad so far. I'll give it some time to "settle" before passing judgement. Definitely like the idea!
Good to see more options around here. My hat goes off to all devs.

Just flashed it ... Can't see the option "Reboot into recovery" when holding the power button. Is there anyone I can enable it ?

Battery drain so far seems to be no worse than B9 for me.
Definitely like this ROM, it is faster and smoother than any other I tried for my Nook, seems quite stable as well (no random reboots etc.)
I installed the v4 if Gnabo Rom, and when I setup an alarm it "crashed". Is it only with me?

It is working perfectly on my n8013. Did you do a full wipe, including internal storage before flashing?

I did it.
So, this afternoon i rebooted the n8010 and it worked.
But when i choose a music on the list it crashes. I need to choose a music from "add" button, and different from the listed ones to avoid the crash.
Is it only with me?
photo editor button in gallery
I'm also using the gnabo rom v4. In gallery when I press the edit button it force closes the gallery app. I also noticed in snote when i try to add an effect to a picture it also force closes the active snote. How can I fix this?

I flashed V4 about 24 hours ago (N8000), and I can certainly say that I do not have these problems. All apps are working fine, including the gallery.
Probably you may try to wipe Dalvik cache.

I did it. Before install i wiped the cache and Dalvik and reset factory.
A question: the quick command is working on your device?
Now I'm using the v5 and i can't user the quick command. Anyone have the issue?
