For those of you who need ICS “right now”, you might want to just give the AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) ICS ROM a try for your HTC Evo 4G. Of all the ICS ROMs out there, this might be the most stable/usable ICS ROM. Although 4G WiMax isn’t working and the front-camera, the AOKP ICS ROM is otherwise a great ROM you can use as daily driver.
Other than that, there’s ROM Control settings in system settings menu that allows you to fully customize the UI and even overclock your Evo 4G. (Yes, this is probably the first overclockable ICS ROM for Evo 4G.)
If you need ICS right now and you don’t mind the absence of 4G and front-camera, give this ROM a try, you will love it as it’s stable, fast, and gets great battery life. I will try to have an updated review when this ROM gets updated in the future.

I flashed this ROM and it just kept rebooting never let me do anything
Same issue here. I have tried two different builds all for evo 4g it continually reboots.
Open up the back, remove the battery. Replace the battery, and re-boot. I had the same problem and this procedure worked for me.
yo im new to this but i would really appreciate if someone could help me and tell me how to get this so when im in recovery mode and i hit flash zip it will show up cause as of right now it is not showing up thank you in advance
Please tell, step by step what you have done.
i already flashed this ROM.. but when i go to gallery app. i got crashed and app error many time….
Same problem for me as well, constantly rebooting, I used RA Amora to flash rom
You have to do a factory reset before you flash this ROM so make sure to do a nandroid backup before and BTW its not that great I woulda suggest the mikg 3.0 ROM over this
BTW— Team Blaze just released an ICS Rom just getting out of Beta. They were able to use patches donated from AOKP, CM, and others. It’s even more stable than the AOKP release, in my opinion- although the AOKP ICS Rom has more customizations, if that’s the sort of thing that you like.
how to install ics
I seem to have a problem with battery life on this ROM. Besides a few fc’s and a few glitches its a pretty good ROM
Flashed this rom a few weeks ago. By far the best ICS rom for the evo, so thanks for that. BUT…not a daily driver for me. All video feeds are choppy, even gallery vid’s. The gallery is not recognized half the time, I had to manual force close it then I could access my pics and vids. Loved the rom, but to many daily issue’s for me. My $.02
I rooted my phone then installed this rom while in recovery mode. I reboot my phone and all I see on my screen is a unicorn with TEAM KANG on it. What did I do wrong?
dear all
disable of remove NOVA Desktop…. it will be all fine.
I believe i did everything right…keyword being believe lol. When i run this rom on my evo it doesnt show any thing for google…Like the play store or even google chat. Where do i go to download them? or is there a way to retrieve them? i love the rom ran great just would like to have the app store and my gmail so i can import contacts and everything else.
Make sure you downloaded the gapps (in the download link) also and flash it in CWM after installing ROM.
Haha thanks don’t know how I didn’t see the link

Usually you don’t have to activate the phone if you cannot on ics, just flash stock gb activate then reinstall ics.
