Root Advantages of rooting at this point????

[ZAXIS]

so ad free and titanium back are almost worth it alone, but besides the customizations what are the advantages of rooting at this point? are the roms on par w/ ics? or would it be more like taking a step back to lose the bloat? just curious, my phone heats up when streaming videos and everything else runs fine enough so i dont see the need to oc as of yet... just looking for some opinions

Root apps, more quick settings, less bloat, you can get rid of sense if you use a senseless Rom, backups, etc.

Can't oc yet anyway unless you're using a Evo 3D kernel but I read the camera don't work?

you can replace that annoying boot animation that comes on your phone

Making Elixir 2 a system app so I can toggle GPS from the homescreen.

The ROMs in the root guide are ICS based. So there is no "step back" that I see.

The only custom kernel for the Evo V 4g is the AnthraX Kernel for sense 3.6.
Directory listing for www.androidfilehost.com/main/EVO_3D_Developers/.chad.goodman/KERNELS/
(The Kernels were taken off the server, ill have to put up a link on dropbox)

The only thing the kernel breaks is the 3D camera and the 3D. If you view a 3D picture, its gonna mess up your screen until you reboot. If you switch the camera into 3D mode, you'll get a black screen, but you can switch back to 2D camera mode and you'll be fine.
You can overclock to 1.566 GHz, but 1.536 GHz is the max I can get it stable. It supports undervolting, and a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting.

Here is the kernel's forum:

If you don't care about the 3d, flash JMZ's tweaked rom and flash this kernel over it, I get about 3,500 in quadrant benchmarks.

Do you know if there's a more recent version of this kernel? I flashed it and am running at 1.4ghz now..sweet!

I believe that is the most recent version of the kernel. its over a month old. You would think more people would make evo 3D ICS kernels but this is the only one I could find.

In that thread, someone mentioned a release 5 version, and I noticed that the name of the kernel that's linked here is release 1. I found the Release 5 version but am hesitant to flash it since I'm not 100% sure if it's for this Evo.
