But cains kernels has some sort of lag for music and and video playback, if it was me I stick with stock kernel and let others flash the kernel themselves. That's my opinion.

A sexier lockscreen/rosie and Tweaked audio libs for better sound to make it my daily. Please!!!!

Oh yeah!! I also modded the audio libs to that of 'beats audio' so now you will have amazing sound quality, and in the next update, I am going to edit the rosie.apk and tweak some XML files to make it less curvy, looks ugly :(

the link is coming soon, my frickin dev-host upload keeps stopping at 99%. and its nearly 4am. Luckily Im on summer vacation (1 more year til I graduate high school wooo!) and I dont have to worry about waking up in the morning. *edit: I would prefer waking up in the morning hahah, I meant like, not at 6am anymore


**What do you guys think of the "Status update" I put at the bottom of the OP? :D
I think it makes it somewhat more.. 'interactive' itll keep you guys in the loop of whats going on, plus give you a reason to come back to my thread hehe.

I can't believe this phone is going to be 2 years old in a couple weeks and there are STILL new devs popping up and threads filling like this. Long live the OG Evo!
Will flash this on my son's Evo tonight and report back...
