A lot of people have been asking me that they like MikG ROM the best on their HTC Evo 4G and would like to see HDMI mirroring working, their only complaint.

If you are looking for the fastest Gingerbread ROM on Android 2.3.5, not the best but fastest in terms of speed, you might want to give this combo a try, CyanogenMod 7 (Nightlies or Experimental) with Snap Turbo kernel.
Over the weekend, I’ve probably bricked my phone 10 times and tried about 10 different combinations of ROMs and kernels. It was indeed frustrating because my goal was to find the fastest Gingerbread ROM but couldn’t really find it.
In the end, I looked back at Froyo ROMs and found that Snap Turbo kernel had one of the fastest quadr
You know when you are driving, the 4G connections can get a bit iffy on the HTC Evo 3D or 4G. Well, this is because Sprint sets default reconnect time for 4G WiMax at 5 minutes, meaning it won’t even “try” to connect to 4G again until 5 minutes is up.

Then call ##3282#.

For those of you wondering where’s root for the Evo 3D? It’s almost here.
Permanent root should be coming shortly but for now, we have temp root for the HTC Evo 3D.
What this Temp Root Does:
It gives your 1-time SuperUser access to any rooted app.
You will need to reboot your Evo 3D to get temp root again.
In other words, this temp root method isn’t usable as it
