    Post Can I root without unlocking bootloader

    *IF* you had an older version you could do a root without unlock, I used this method but I had hboot 1.12 and 1.22.something software. I just wanted to install TB and backup apps and other minor things. If you want to flash ROMs,.you need to unlock - at least that's how I understood things...

    Post Question about sprints TEP plans

    Post Sprint family plan

    I have the new SERO family plan (everything plus family plan) with two Evo phones - $130 for the two phones as well as a single $50 SERO P plan (iphone). Throw in taxes and TEP for all three phones I pay $220 amonth. It would be cheaper now to see if I can take the Family Plan and make it...

    Your timing is good, bricks tend to happen during major updates Have your gf take her phone back to the Sprint store and say it won't turn on, charge etc. if the phone is truly bricked, they can't tell it was rooted or whatever. They should replace it because it's within the warranty period...

    Post [Q] EVO 4G LTE or S3 for wife

    FWIW, I have the Evo LTE, husband has the Evo shift (he wanted a physical keyboard) and daughter has the iPhone. We all have our preferences and so we ended up with different phones. When I was looking, I did ask my husband for his suggestion, and he picked SGIII. So much for the husband's...

    Post [Q] EVO 4G LTE or S3 for wife

    Has she looked at the phones? I'm the more phone techy one, so it may be just me but I'd be a bit disturbed if my husband gave me a phone with out my input. FWIW, I had the Evo OG, rooted it. I thought about getting SGIII but I preferred Sense over Touch wiz and I liked how Evo LTE felt in my...

    Post [Q] Best Sense ROM for the lady

    For Sense, I also prefer Nitrous and Classic. For non-Sense, I use MIUI but I'm still on GB MIUI which has tons of themes (I don't use 4G even though I live in a 4G area).

    Post CyanogenMod vs MIUI

    I've been using MIUI since bcnice20 first ported it. The biggest disadvantage is the lack of 4G, but the other features are what keeps me happy with MIUI. I never understood the argument about the lack an app drawer; I much prefer having a few folders to organize my apps than searching thru a...

    Post CyanogenMod vs MIUI

    You should have the Updater app. Open the app and check for a new version. Even if it says you have the latest one, if you click on download it will download the current version. Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

    Post Best Mobile Web Browser?

    I just tried a bunch of browsers. The best was Maxthon. Miren and stock are also decent. Tried Opera, xscope, dolphin and quickly jettisoned them. They weren't awful, but they were either slow or had weird glitches. Evo HW 003 MIUI 1.8.19

    Post [Q] 4g on miui

    I'm assuming that MIUI will NEVER have 4G. There is no reason for the Chinese to work on it and we can't get the source code. If it happens on MIUI, that would be a nice surprise, but don't expect 4G Bounty would be a waste of time.. Evo HW 003 MIUI 1.7.22

    Post Evo 3D Rant

    I see it the same as SilverZero. It's not the Evo 3D or any other new sexy phone that's slowing ROM development. It's simply that Froyo's been done and still no source code for Gingerbread. So, things are slow. That said, I still see a lot of port successes (and failures) in Development and...

    I use MIUI as my daily driver even though I live in a 4G area. Lots of features and add ons that are not found elsewhere. Good feel but a bit quirky at times. Of the Sense.GB roms I've flashed, I liked MikG, Synergy and dc13's. All are very well done Evo HW 003 MIUI 1.6.17

    Post 4G On MIUI?

    One more time: MIUI is a closed source ROM by Chinese devs for phones without 4g service (none in China). Several talented Evo devs have tried on this end without success to get 4g working in MIUI. Now there is a very small possibility 4g may make it into the rom, but it would be more by...
