Root 2.3.4 and Sense 3.5 ??

Good day everyone. I have had my EVO for about a year now. I rooted it 6 months ago and stayed with the stock rom.

I am now looking at going to the latest Android version 2.3.4 because I heard it can allow you to make a call and surf the web at the same time (which is a feature I miss form my iPhone). I would also like to have sense 3.5 since I want a new look and feel of sense.

What ROM should I flash and how do I do it? I also want a stable rom that has 4G, WIFI, etc functioning correctly (I list of non-working areas for the ROMs would be helpful).

Any ideas?

first of all our evo will never have the ability of making a call and be on the web at the same time. it is one of the short comings of cdma. if you have a gsm phone then you can do it.

second sense 3.5 roms are just coming out. they are still in beta stage and some of them a few issues to work out. if you want to try one then try mik's supersonic3d (also know as as runnymede). and since this is a port that is from a verizon phone it will not have 4g working at least not yet.

if you want to try a sense 3.0 rom, then try mik3d. it is a great rom and very stable and everything works.

I have a few questions:

1) First all, I received this information about using web and voice at the same time. Is it wrong? HTC Evo 4G: Simultaneous Data and Voice Connectivity, Gingerbread Upgrade | Mobile Bloom News

2) Does mik3D come with 2.3.4 or what OS verison is it?

3) Is there a how-to guide to install the mik3D in my scenario? Would I loose all call logs, texts, apps, etc?

1.ok let me correct myself a little bit. the only time you can get simultaneous data and call connectivity is if you are on 4g only. if your are on 3g then you cannot do it. but with 4g yes you can.

2.it is i believe 2.3.3 i could be wrong on it. there is the going green rom that is 2.3.5.

3.yes anytime you flash a rom you will loose data as it is required t wipe data any time you flash a rom. you can read the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html for the how to's on flashing a rom. you can back up your apps with titanium backup and you can backup your text to the sd card with most texting apps. your contacts should be synced with google.
 
where can I download mik3D and I have heard good things about ChopSuey 9.2.7, any idea where to download that as well?

I looked at rooting for dummies. Woupld I have to root my phone again even though I am already rooted?

Also, if you are connected to a Wifi network then you can talk and have data at the same time.
 
I used Clockwork Mod Recovery v2.6.0.1 to root initally. Do I have to use the complete method that is mentioned in rooting for dummies or can I simply load the rom through the version of Clockwork that I have?
 
You do not have to re root... Just flash the new ROM after wiping or running a wipe.zip I would switch to anom ra for your recovery because a lot of those new ROMs don't play well with clockwork... There are tutorials for all of this in the stickies on this forum

switch your recovery to Amon Ra....clockwork mod is just gonna cause you problems...
 
how do I switch my recovery to Amon Ra? I took a look at a few posts on the XDA site but wanted to see if you guys had different recommendations.
 
So I flashed Mik3D on my phone and Chopsuey kernel. I love the phone so far. Not sure what exactly the kernel flash does but everything I have tried seems to be working great.

I am curious. I have read about 3Gturbocharger and v6supercharger. Any idea what that is about? Also, what should i notice with the latest Chopsuey kernel?

Thanks

for me with kernels i look for performance and battery life. so with performance, how does the phone feel. can i overclock and underclock it?

and with battery life, it is: what governor does the kernel have? do i need a screen off profile? how long does the battery last?

those are the things i look for.

as far as the 3gturbo and v6 supercharger scripts go. i have not tried the 3g turbo yet, but the v6 supercharger does make your phone run a little faster. it really is not that much of a noticeable difference, but it just feels faster sometimes.
