Cyanogen WiMax Alpha ROM Android 2.2 is here, I highly recommend it for those of you who are on older ROMs because this one is super quick and has a lot of customization options.
Here’s a quick video tutorial of how to install the Cyanogen ROM on your rooted HTC Evo 4G: (You can also use ROM Manager I believe, it might be easier!)
To install, you will need a rooted HTC Evo 4G an
For those of you who want to try out beta version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread ROM for HTC Evo 4G, you might want to try the Kings ROM. There’s a lot of things that don’t work right now including 4G, which kinda sucks but for early birds, you can give it a go.
I don’t actually recommend this ROM (yet) but did record while I was installing it so, hopefully you can tr
HTC Evo Shift 4G is now available on Amazon for $149.99. I am a bit hesitant to buy one as it will be bringing my monthly phone bills to an all-time high but maybe I will get one. Arr….
It’s a pretty good phone with a 3.6-inch screen and a slide-out keyboard, which I like but I am not sure if it’s worth the trouble since there’s a slew
Here’s an interesting hack where an HTC Evo users makes a garage door opener app using a serial RS232 relay hooked up to his linux mail server in the garage. When his Evo 4G is within a block of his home, he can remotely open/close his garage door. It sure sounds like a lot of work but for those of you who are already familiar with relays, RS232 programming, and linux, might want
Only after a day the RadioShack ad was leaked for the new HTC Evo Shift 4G, it seems like HTC and Sprint is really getting ready for the real launch by putting the phone on Amazon for pre-order.
Of course, this isn’t final, we anticipate that the phone will be officially launched at CES 2011 in Las Vegas on January 6th. We will be there to cover the whole event so watch out for our full HTC Evo Shif
Although not completely official yet, this spyshot of a leaked RadioShack ad shows that HTC Evo Shift 4G will be available for $149.99 perhaps starting in early January.
What does the Shift 4G bring? There’s rumors that it might have a dual-core processor, which would be awfully nice but the big thing here is the QWERTY keyboard on the Shift 4G.
That would certainly make the Evo Shift 4G the next big thang, what do you think?
So after testing out bunch of ROMs, I decided to go install Sprint Lover’s ROM because we finally get full 4G speeds here in San Francisco and I wanted to take advantage of that.

The Sprint Lovers ROM doesn’t have a hacked Sprint Hotspot but it does come with the WiFi Hotspot which works just as well for fr
For those of you having trouble rooting your HTC Evo 4G, you might want to take a look at the latest instructions over at XDA-developers.com here.
These new directions are much easier than before so you should be able to root your Evo easily. Except it won’t work with phones that have done OTA 3.70 updates. (So don’t do software updates!!! Just say no!!!)
