Its part of the settings. You can go into your cyanogen settings and turn that feature off I believe.

loving full flash. that's the main thing i care about for this rom.
Thanks. I'm really tempted to flash this rom right now, but I'm making myself wait until a stable release is out.
I'm running Baked Snack right now, and I've only had it for a day (love it though, so fast), so I think I might try out this ROM, too. It's a pain having to backup/restore apps so frequently, but all for the sake of having the best running system possible! I'd still consider myself a noob at all this; EVo was my first Android phone and I've only truly been doing all the rooting/flashing/ROMs, etc., stuff for the last week or so, but oh does it feel good to get back in touch with my inner geek.

I used Rom Manager to flash Baked Snack yesterday. I downloaded the file with my pc and then put the zip file on my SD. I did not change the name of the file, just chose the option in Rom Manager to flash from SD card and browsed to where the zip file was on my SD. You can try that with Cyanogen's Rom.

this one? Evo Themes, Mods and More! (2.1+) The Playground
im digging around and can't seem to find it
Today is my first day with my phone fully rooted (via OTA SimpleRoot) and Cyanogen Mod 6 Nightly flashed and my battery life is actually worse ... not what I expected. I've had moderately higher usage today as I had a 30 minute phone call this morning and I've been d/ling and installing new apps, but regardless I was down to 18% by 3:15, about 7.5 hours after taking it off the charger. How is everyone else's battery life with this ROM?

i've had this issue a few times after switching roms. for some reason it sees the new rom as a different device. i usually have to go too appbrain.com and switch my apps there.

I'm extreamly new to the idea of rooting, I did jail break my ipod touch a few years ago when I owned one, but rooting my phone just seams a bit much... I am really templted to do so, but don't want to lose / brick my phone...! I have an updated EVO, will ota simple root work for me? If I simply just root my phone will I lose any apps? If I root my phone and run into any issues can I restore my phone to it's original rom (if I'm using the right terminology here) I feel like this is somthing I can do and feel like I'm over complicating the whole thing in my head... anyone wanna throw me a bone?
^^^ I know exactly how you feel, I was just as wary before rooting mine. This is my first Android phone and I was pretty intimidated by the various rooting methods, ROMs, kernels, radio updates, etc.
First off, rooting itself does not necessarily require a wipe of your phone - I first tried with unrevoked3 and didn't lose anything ... I had a number of issues with "root only" apps not recognizing whatever unrevoked3 did, so I decided to go the OTA Simple Root route since I had the latest OTA update from Sprint, which does require a full wipe of the phone (apps, data, phone setup, etc).
If you've been using AppBrain it maintains a list of everything you have installed and as I understand it, should basically function as a backup since it will "sync" your phone with that list (i.e. re-install anything that is missing). One advantage to me trying unrevoked3 first is that I was able to boot into the custom recovery and do a Nandroid backup to my SD card (equivalent to a PC disc image), so I had that in my back pocket in case anything went wrong with the OTA Simple Root.
It helps if you think of rooting and custom ROMs as two separate steps - rooting just grants you admin access to everything on your phone which then enables you to do things like install custom ROMs ... basically custom flavors of the operating system.
This is the guide I used for the OTA Simple Root process:
[Program] SimpleRoot OTA 1.47.651.1 Edition - xda-developers
Make sure your PC has .NET Framework 4.0 and HTC Sync installed (links to both on that page), turn on USB Debugging, then download the Simple Root program itself and follow the instructions in the boxes that pop up as you hit each button.

Yes, a lot of 2.1 apps won't show up in the market after this flash. Another solution to this is to install them from a backup like Titanium. Worked perfectly for me to get my old apps that won't download from the market anymore.

when you make a backup where do you save it? don't you have to wipe ur ext memory to flash this?
losing some of my apps was the only thing keeping me from staying with this rom. i flashed, lost some of my apps (including my precious launcherpro), then flashed back in dissapointment
How did you uninstall unrevoked3? I have unrevoked 3. But now I am ready to do the simpleroot process.
Nandroid backs up to your SD card, which is not wiped at all.
I didn't uninstall unrevoked3 ... since OTA Simple Root does a full wipe of the phone I figured it wasn't necessary.
Here goes nothing.

I couldn't get it to install, it kept giving me an error...I don't remember what exactly it said, but it just kept aborting from the recovery screen. Could be that I didn't read the instructions well enough, but what a bummer. Baked Snack shall stay then.
I had the same problems simpleroot OTA was the fix for me, had to go throught the system 2 times, but everything installed. I got the could not write to memory error and this fixed my problem.
