Anyone have luck using WiFi tether? I can't get it to work...either the native 'portable hotspot' app or using the Wifi Tether app from the market.

Thanks. i wasnt sure if the Bravia engine was there to speed things up. If its not really needed then I wont even bother, and as far as Beats go, does it really work for the Evo?

Beats works as a compressor and it works for your ears too. Bravia is for your camera and makes subtle changes to the image after taken. They both work well on the evo. :D

Holy crap. I was not expecting this ROM to be so low on the list. I know this ran very smooth on my old Hero. Running it now and everything seems to be running great.

As for the person above me. Have you tried reinstalling everything?

Sorry I'm late to the party. Just dusted off my evo (now a glorified car media player), and installed this ROM. Alwaysv loved the look and feel of MIUI and was running a somewhat sad port. Haven't put this through the paces yet but already loving the buttery smooth speed. Thanks op.

You guys should have just PMed me. I'd have fixed the links.

Oh well. If anyone ever needs me to upload a copy again, let me know.

    Lewa OS

    [highlight]I will probably update this less frequently, maybe once or twice a month. I no longer use my Evo 4G.[/highlight]


    LeWa ("Happy/Funny Frog") comes to us from China and is a MIUI-inspired ROM based on CyanogenMod 7. It's an incredibly lightweight ROM made primarily for yesteryear devices comparable in specifications to our Evo 4Gs. Don't let its sub-100 MB size fool you, though. It's still filled to the brim with features, such as built-in power and battery management, CPU control, and memory clearing. I can confidently recommend LeWa for daily use.


    This ROM is stable out of the box. I try to keep my modifications to a minimum and stick to the spirit of the original work.

    Tips

    - Double-tapping the lock icon on the lock screen will bring up music controls.

    - Press volume-down and menu at the same time to take a screenshot.

    - Pressing on the data usage statistics in the notification panel will bring you to a screen where you can slide to the right to change your "Monthly data limit."

    - Pressing the green orb in the notification panel will kill all open apps. Holding it will bring up its whitelist. (You likely want to add your input methods (Swype, Swiftkey, etc) to this.)

    - You may put *.apk files in /sdcard/APK/ to have them automatically install when flashing the ROM.

    - If you're a chatterbox, be sure to turn on SMS splitting in Message Settings.






    This is a pretty solid ROM. Its official versions are released for both MDPI and HDPI devices, and most of the devices that LeWa supports are on the weaker side of the hardware specification spectrum. As such, there should not be any lag or resource issues with the Evo 4G. Indeed the vanilla ROM weighs in at ~75 MB and with my additions, it weighs in at ~95 MB.

    Acknowledgements
    If I missed you, send me a PM.

    Swiperat - remove roaming indicator

    ajrty33 - auto-connect to data network without having to go to APN settings

    LOTK & Team DIRT - I learned quite a bit tinkering with Deck's ReLoaded.

    LeWa OS Team - developing the user experience that's built into this ROM

    CyanogenMod Team - developing drivers, APIs, frameworks, and resolving many device-specific issues, all of which made porting this a breeze.

    AOSP - developing the core components and framework of Android.


    Honorable Mentions

    MIUI - provide much of the design inspiration that goes into LeWa OS

    MIUI.us, Swiperat, et al. - major kudos to you guys for your work on porting MIUI. I can only imagine how much of a pain in the ass it would be to port one of these ROMs without a CyanogenMod base. You bros deserve special recognition for that.


    Common Concerns and Queries
    Please read through these before asking for help.

    - Circaflex offers some guidance to get Visual Voice Mail (VVM) working.

    - s8perman confirms that this ROM works with a2sd.

    - Backlight is activated on incoming message, and there doesn't appear to be a way to disable that functionality.

    - RockoDev Beats Audio can be added by downloading and flashing "ICS & GB BeatsAudio"

    This is probably the biggest update so far. The LeWa SystemUI is finally up to my standards in stability (it had issues before, such as choppy animations and erratic behavior when moving the notification bar). I changed the settings around quite a bit to hopefully make them a little more intuitive. I removed a couple problematic settings. I also removed the Gexin service (aka Free Messaging Service, aka Wasage). I replaced LeWa's native SD Manager with Mi FileExplorer.

    At the moment, the only difference between the experimental release and the primary release is the base. It might be this way for a while, provided the LeWa developers don't make any drastic changes that necessitate further testing.

    Bros, PDroid was so effing hard to add. It took me FOREVER to come up with a "future-proof" way of adding it. I tested it on the last 10 versions of LeWa and it worked on all of them. So I'm assuming it will continue to work from here on out.


    To get to it, go to Settings->Application->Privacy & Permissions

    It should also alert you to optionally adjust permissions whenever an application is installed.


    Also raising the 30 MB/month limit in the Data Monitor to 2 GB by default was a huge PITA for me (probably would be a breeze to experienced Java programmers) but it should be "future-proof" as well.
