Hey Bob Walker....I've got a question for you buddy. Do you think it would be any benefit to flash the crossbreeder with this?

You can try CrossBreeder and see whether you notice any lag reduction. You can download cross breeder at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2113150. In addition to making a nandroid backup before installation, I recommend downloading both CrossBreeder_3.15.13_v2.zip and CrossBreeder_Uninstall.zip and copying them to the sdcard so you can reboot into recovery and uninstall CrossBreeder if your phone does not work well with CrossBreeder.

I have tried both CrossBreeder and Seeder 2.0.0. I felt that my phone performed better when I used Seeder with AlienMod although CrossBreeder definitely will reduce lag time with this ROM. You can download Seeder at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987032.

P.S. I am able to run Chrome with AlienMod Solar Flare V, but I have found that it will definitely crash and reboot your phone any time you try to launch Chrome from the Dock panel. As long as you launch Chrome from the app drawer or a desktop shortcut, the browser will launch without crashing your phone.

So 4g works?

I have been ThunderShock (my creation rom)

I have not tried ThunderShock, but If you are using the latest version updated on May 11, 2013, 4G should be working.

If you are asking whether 4G works with AlienMod Solar Flare V, the answer is no. Since this is a JellyBean ROM, no hardware drivers are available for the WiMax (4G) radio leaving no way for the developers to include 4G support in their Ice Cream Sandwich and JellyBean ROMs for the HTC EVO 4G.

I'm not really understanding why 4G can't be developed from an existing ROM. Some of these guys on here have some serious skills. I"ve read about one guy on here doing something big for Samsung. Why can't the drivers be 'borrowed' from a stock ROM?

Because it isn't worth the time involved for a dev that could actually write the drivers to do it as a volunteer. It is a LOT of work and dev's get minimal appreciation.

Because HTC has never released the source code for the hardware drivers necessary to operate the WiMax (4G) radio and front facing camera on the original EVO 4G and has never developed Ice Cream Sandwich for the EVO 4G, no drivers compatible with these two hardware devices exists for any version of Android newer than Gingerbread (2.3.x). As souleman indicates above, it simply is not worth the time and effort for developers, who are after all volunteers, to write the necessary hardware drivers from scratch for a device that is over 3 years old.

Be thankful for the great choice of ROMs still being developed and updated for the EVO 4G even after most of the Android community has moved on to newer devices. If you must have functional WiMax or front facing camera capabilities on your EVO, you may want to check out CyanMobile, a Gingerbread ROM with Ice Cream Sandwich and JellyBean features under development for the EVO 4G by jlmancuso at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277764.

Files?

Can anyone post a file mirror for this? Am I better off just using JellyBelly?

I have an Evo 4g that is sort of a spare/backup and looking for something to replace stock ROM now that it is provisioned. (With freedompop, maybe others too, you have to provision on a stock based ROM and then can switch to a different version.) I had a different CM ROM on it before (Deck's Reloaded i think?) and I didn't use it for so long that they suspended the account and I had to go back to a stock based ROM, provision, and my wife has been using it for awhile. She broke her galaxy s4 so I am giving her mine and bought a moto e 2nd gen (sucks compared to s4, I know). Anyway I'll be back on the Evo 4g for a few days and I'm not gonna run stock GB.

Thanks and cheers!

    Just getting some confirmation here. A few posts back awesome beats was broke and DSP and other mods were thought about being added in. As of AlienMod Saturn have these issues been addressed? Also my YouTube app flickers quite often. Is this a known issue?

    -------------EDIT-----------
    Awesome Beats finally started working after a reboot. Just wondering if it only works with certain music players? YouTube is still glitchy too.

    Sent from my X10 using xda app-developers app

    Yes. Awesome beats works fine on this series 3. As that is one issue I intended of getting fixed. This ROM is my personal daily driver and I am focusing on improving this rom. I am currently experimenting the video recorder and playback. I noticed if the picture camera at 8mp has any glitch, all you need to do is exit and re-enter the picture camera app as it is working great! Not wishful thinking :) I will find a way to fix this video camera and video stream issue on stock app.
