Geek For Me is proud to release:

Fresh Evo 0.1d for your Sprint Evo 4g

Hi everyone. I’m happy to have my first rom for the Evo ready to download! A little about me in case you aren’t coming from the CDMA Hero: I have been developing roms for Android since November of last year when I got my first Android phone (the Sprint Hero). Since then I have released Fresh Rom 0.1a – Fresh Rom 2.1.2, Fresh Kitchen, and worked together with others to port Android 2.1 to the Hero before it was official. My Fresh series has received over 100,000 (non-unique) downloads total. I knew as soon as I heard about the Evo that I would be getting one, and I now am happy enough with this rom to release it! It has been tested extensively over the last 24 hours by a group of testers and there are no known outstanding issues. Keep an eye on http://bugs.geekfor.me for any issues as they come up. Just click on Fresh Evo in the top right corner.

A wipe may not be necessary (depending on what rom you are coming from), but it is recommended. You need to be rooted (unrevoked method doesn’t count as root) to flash this. How To: Root Your Sprint Evo. Always make a nandroid backup, I can’t be held responsible if something breaks, etc, etc.

Base: RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6

Updated stock apps:

  • Qik to 0.03.51
  • Facebook to 1.2
  • Google Maps to 4.2.0
  • Vending to 1713
  • Quickboot and “reboot to recovery” from rom manager will work
  • Entire rom has been de-odexd.
    • An odex file is basically a chunk of source code that has already been extracted from the apk and put on /system/. This is done to speed up the first boot of a rom (you know how your first boot takes a long time… that’s while it is extracting all of these dex files) and also to save space on /data/. Our stock sprint rom comes with this odex files to give you those benefits, however it also prevents us from easily modifying those files. This build has taken all those odex files and injected them back in the apk’s. So expect a slower first boot (it will sit on the 4g screen for a while… animated boot screen coming), and more space taken up on /data/, but you get benefits from it such as the vanilla lock screen fix and a standard set of files for people to theme off of.

Visual changes:

  • Espresso bottom bar for Evo in blue. Green coming later.
  • Full color sliders (see screen shots)
  • New boot screen is coming, but it’s not here yet

Added:

  • ES File Explorer 1.4.1
  • Rom Manager (Clockwork Mod Recovery) 1.8.8.5
  • HTC_IME Mod High Res v.27 keyboard — This keyboard has a ton of features. I have included this keyboard and the stock one. To change which keyboard you use just do a long press on a text input field.
  • Launcher Pro Beta 0.5.1
  • SuperUser 2.1
  • Wifi Tether 2.0.2 final (free 3g and 4g wireless tethering)

Moved to data and made uninstallable if you want:

  • Sprint TV and widget — I normally removed this but I kept it because it works on 4g so the quality should be a lot better, and also because the world cup is on. :)
  • Launcher2 — This is stock with our rom but the apps drawer is a little slow and rotation doesn’t work, so I also included Launcher Pro.

Removed (copied to /sdcard/fresh-removed-apks):
The following applications have been removed, however I am trying something new. I have the installer copy all of these applications to /sdcard/fresh-removed-apks. This will allow you to easily install the applications by clicking on them in ES File Explorer, or by copying them to /system/app for the ones that won’t install that way (HTC’s apps don’t play nicely with installing). The applications marked with a * can be installed in one click by clicking on it in ES, the ones marked with # aren’t included because they don’t need to be reinstalled. The rest you will have to copy them to /system/app. This can be done by booting in to recovery and issuing the following commands:

adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell mount /system
adb shell
cp /sdcard/fresh-removed-apks/WHATEVERAPP.apk /system/app

  • Amazon mp3 *
  • GSD #
  • HTC FM Radio
  • HTC Footprints and widget
  • HTC Navigation Panel
  • HTC Ringtone Trimmer
  • HTC Stocks and widget
  • Quick Office *
  • HTC Peep — I put this on /data but it’s not showing up properly. I created an update.zip patch here if you need it.
  • Sprint Nascar *
  • Sprint Navigation *
  • Sprint NFL *
  • Sprint Promotion *
  • Sprint WiFi Router
  • Teeter
  • Voice Search (I am constantly hitting it on accident while using my phone with one hand. I have also had issues with it killing audio on the phone). *
  • Removed apk’s can be downloaded here and pushed back to the phone if you have problems with the sdcard method.

Vote!

Do you like having the removed apps put on the sdcard?
