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 ?
So After some roms instaled on my lg there I chose GTR V6 (V7.8 DONT SEMS to work stuck at logo)
My question is about roms and kernels, so after I instaled GTR v6 on my phone I need/can to instal a kernel ? so If I can or need how I do Ive read a lot of threads but I dndt found a good answer so after I instaled a custom room How do I instal a kernel Is the same as rom? revocery then
wipe data/resetfactory and wipe chache and instal like a rom? Plz tell me how to do the right thing
I just want a good phone for a little gaming and like a normal phone
no.. just flash without wiping.

Step 1 - Boot to recovery
Step 2 - Back up (just incase)
Step 3 - Flash kernel of choice
(optional)Step 4 - Wipe 'cache' and 'Dalvik Cache'
Step 5 - Reboot
Step 6 - PROFIT!!!!
The cache, and dalvik wipe are optional to me. I always do it, and have better luck that way. Doesn't harm, just makes that next boot longer as it rebuilds those caches. I had an issue ONCE where I had to wipe cache, and just do it every time I flash a kernel now

Quick noob question: what is a new kernel good for ?
I already have AOKP 4.0.4 on my P500, but saw different talks about different kernels.
So, what is the kernel and what it does.
Wil flashing a new kernel affect other stuff (installed apps, settings...) ?

There are different kernels that people have worked on that are better for certain purposes. Consider the ROM a airplane, and the kernel the pilot. Different pilots are better at certain things, but all are certified to fly the plane
Things that our kernel devs have added are touch screen driver fixes (LGs were ****), undervolting and CPU frequencies additions for performance, VPN stuffs, ect ect. When you install a new kernel,it won't make you lose any data or settings. Everything will be just as it is for you.
Basically adding features and improving performance beyond what LG provides. Looks like Williams awesome looking AOKP is running the same kernel Hehap does on the version of ICS I am running and it is pretty good. I am testing DJnoxDs ICS kernal with touch screen fixes and vysnc off here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587209 and it is pretty fantastic so far.
But if you wanted to try out different kernels with the ROM you areon, you can flash it over in recovery. If you do a backup in recovery before hand then you can easily go back to the kernel he provides.
Just make sure if you are having any issues with his ROM after that, to keep the fact you changed kernels in mind. Check the threads for the kernel you are trying if issues come up after flashing, or at least mention in William's thread that you are using a different kernel if issues are coming up so bug reporting happens correctly.
Got it, thank you very much for the infos.

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.

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.
I am currently on beanstalk build 275 (android KK), but when I try to reboot into recovery via the power menu, it doesn't work. I am in no way blaming this on the ROM. Instead I am looking for insight. This problem has existed for me since I installed ICS I believe. If I remember correctly, it was working on gingerbread ROMs just fine. Anyway, what happens is the phone proceeds to reboot, but instead of going to recovery after the samsung screen, it proceeds to the boot animation. I have searched around on xda for solutions for rebooting into recovery via the power menu and it seems that in the ICS days, the only way to fix it on ROMs that had this issue was to flash the SGS kernel if I remember correctly in order to get the right recovery and also regain the ability to get into it via all methods. The only problem is that I know that most newer ROMs use scott's modified kernel if I am not mistaken since there wasn't much development for our phone in terms of kernels after ICS. This means that if I take another ROM's boot.img (which I know contains our recovery), it will not change anything since I am basically installing the same kernel. So my question is would I have to go back to ICS in order to fix the problem there first then proceed to flash JB and KK? Thanks for any help or info you guys can provide :good: I hope I can resolve this soon since I find it convenient not having to power off then doing the three finger salute all the time
P.S.: Already asked in beanstalk Q&A also, but I did not get an answer and also I do not believe this problem is ROM related anyway as I said at the start of my paragraph

did you download the ROM Manager app from Google Play and try to boot from there?
if it's not working then
I think I would:
put the 255 build and 275 build and Gapps of your choice into SDcard1
then wipe everything on the phone + format the 4 options in advance + format SDcard0
flash 255 + Gapps as per instruction
flash 275 + Gapps per instruction

if that's not even working, then I put use the "SGH_I997 Entropy 4_4_2012-One-Click-Heimdall.jar" way
but lets not think of that much trouble - maybe you don't have the right recovery - my version is v6.0.4.7

Ok so I've tried goo manager and also rom manager and neither worked. All that's left is to reflash the ROMs I guess or flash the heimdall package g-noob was talking about although I'm guessing that is a package made for ICS, so I shouldn't flash it with KK. I'll probably just flash back to stock and come back up to really check when the problem occurs as in which android version it starts in. Thanks for your suggestions though I'll report back later this week (probably on the weekend).

I installed it and tried the reboot to recovery option which didn't work either in this app. Thanks for suggestion also
Flashing back has worked so far
I flashed back to GB as I said earlier. So far all ROMs have indeed booted into recovery. I guess on my way up the other times, I hadn't followed instructions in detail since I have not experienced any issues that I used to get so far. Hope it keeps going that way anyway once again thanks to everyone for your help! If I have any problems, I'll let you know (currently on Helly Bean 4.2.2 which I just flashed). The real test will come when I flash JB 4.3 and KK which is where I used to have problems booting from power menu.
EDIT: Ok so basically my problems start occurring on jb 4.3. I noticed that going from 4.2.2 to 4.3, the recovery reports a status 7 error. I already know that means the recovery is "old", but the thing is, it allows you to do an install anyway which I usually do in order for it to convert the file system and install the newer recovery which it does. The only thing though is I guess it doesn't repartition correctly due to that status 7 error. So I guess my question would be how I should proceed to get a 4.3 recovery without flashing a ROM or if there's a way to proceed that I am not aware of? Do you happen to have any links @eZdubzitmk4 or @Judge Joseph Dredd or @g-noob ?

Haha thanks, it's not so bad anyway. At least I can get into recovery through the manual way (3 buttons) and at least the ROMs install like you said. I was just checking if there was a way to avoid the status 7 which is caused by incompatible partition layout (which is why you flash twice by the way;the second time it ignores the layout and just proceeds). I'll give the link a try by the way.
Hello friends,
I had so many problems in the last days. I flashed the first INU 5.1.1 version on my G920I, after a few problems flashing TWRP. Finally I got the phone working and no major problems until last days when battery started to malfunction. Anyway, after that I tried to flash the latest INU 5.1.1 versión (G925IDVU2COGA_G925IODD2COGA_G925IDVU2COGA_HOME.tar) but the phone couldt start the Odin process. Then I tried anothers roms but nothing (all of them 5.1.1) after that Iflashed the TWRP and made a stupid "factory wipe" and then my device was softbricked.
The phone was on boot loop.. Finally, I splitted COGA rom in parts (modem.bin, cache, etc) and flashed system separated from the rest ROM. This worked but the only file that wasn't possible to load was sboot.bin cm.bin. Anyway, after that I tried to reflash COGA in one part but nothing. Finally I used the COF room (INU 5.1.1 from sammobile) and it was flashed full with noproblems via Odin but now my device has the TOUCH SENSOR INVERSED. whe I type in the right the letters on the left side of the keyboard are presssed.
By now I don't know what to do. Except that Im triying to flash a moded stock rom to get things fixed . I hope anyone could helpme because Im very worried.
Reflash again with stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin. Do full reset after

I just could make it happen. Odin and device don't let me flash but now im flashing again COF8. After flashin at least forty times different roms, and splitted most of them. I hope this help.
I have read that there's an option to make a "NAND erase all" along with flashing a stock ROM, to make a clean install after a messed up like this. If anyone could corroborate that. I have read most of the comments saying thats its a murder for the device but also some another good references, about making it wipe al that garbage from stupids flashings like mine.

You must have flashed the wrong firmware initially. Thus giving you this problem. To fix just go into your dialer and hit *#2663# then tap tsp fw update (general) . That'll fix it all for you. Next time be careful when flashing things, I suspect you flashed something meant for one of the edge devices.
