Root HELP!! Had to factory reset my rooted HTC Evo

I don't remember, but was there something in the MikTweaks app that came with the rom to change that? Have you messed around with the Tweaks at all?
 
i would wipe dalvik cache and cache again and then re-flash the rom. you data and settings will not get wiped and it should be fine.
 
yeah i have and i thought thats why it disappeared but i went back in and there was nothing in the tweaks that would make it go away and i set them backk to the defaults anyways just to be sure
 
yeah thats what i figured, its almost done now lol. im getting the hang of this now. How does this rom stack up to others? like speed wise smoothness and scroll speed?

That, my freind, will vary phone to phone..but...MikG ran very nicely and smooth on my phone. Then I found Decks Reloaded and that one ran quicker and just loved it.:)
There is so much more to speed and smoothness than just the rom itself. But that's a whole other discussion:p

Glad you got it back!!!!
Did you remember to make a nandroid backup?
 
NICE!!!!!!!

so here is some tips for you:
if you have any issues where there are bugs, glitches, force closure of apps then the first thing i always do is go into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache. this usually takes care of most issues.

if that does not work then try and go back into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache and re-flash the rom like you just did. this is also good if you flashed a theme that you did not like and want to go back. this will not wipe your data or settings. sometimes you get bad flashes and this might help with it.

now if that does not work then a full wipe and re-flash is recommended. a full wipe is wiping everything except for the sd card(i usually wipe 3x) then re-flash the rom.

hope this helps in the future.....happy flashing:D:D:D
 
No i dont know anything about the nandroid backup. i red some about them on the internet but other than that not much. and can i just flash that rom onto my phone without doing anything more?

Well, you could but...a nandroid backup is like a snapshot of your phones current state. Kinda like a game save or a restore point on a computer.
If something goes wonky that cannot be fixed in recovery or a wipe/flash, you can restore the nandroid backup and it will bring you to that certain point in time when the backup was made.
Does that make sense?
