ahhhhh yes i will miss those days. it was definitely fun while it lasted.

my top 5 would be:
5.myn's warm 2.2
4.mikforyo
3.cm7
2.reloaded
1.mikg3.11

 

Nice! Kinda embarrassed bymy next top 5 but its not a top 5....Its a top 2 LOL. Yeah, I've only ran 2 roms since rooting. I've flashed only 2 others but those lasted a day at most
1. Mikg 3.11
2. Decks Reloaded!!
Tried AOKP and Smurfmod.

I agree with andygu! This phone was the best of its time and I just happened to get lucky to get one of these as my first "real" smartphone

As of today, 12-21-12, my Evo will be retired if all goes according to plan, and I will be moving to the SG 3 on Verizon.

And yes, I will always be in the OG forums!

 

Best thing that happened to mine was netarchy's kernel - an army of rabid naked bunnies took over my phone (don't blame me if you didn't read his changelogs).

Cheers!

 

What are you getting as a replacement?

 

Just make sure you keep a eye on the Evo forum and good luck to all that move on!! ......It will be a while longer before I put my Evo away

 

Yep. Me too. My wife is using mine and her old one is being used by the kid.

My top 5:

1. Decks Reloaded
2. Decks
3. Mikg 3.11
4. Koni's Elite Series
5. Strike! ICS

 

The Evo will always be my first "love"

 

Same here.

 

Noooooooo

 

I know,, not my choice as the bossman wanted to go with Verizon and away from Sprint...
However, if I had stayed with Sprint, I would have gotten the LTE for sure

Just got the phone activated so my Evo is officially retired but never forgotten!

 

Verizon locks those bootloaders down like fort Knox. Make sure the s3 has a way around it!

(They should by now)

 

If there is a way, I'll find it here eh?
Gonna run it stock for a couple weeks, make sure no hardware issues and familiarize myself with it, then....ROOT BABY!!

 

I'm telling your wife!!!!!!

 

haha! Go ahead, you want her phone number? Here's what she will do.
Roll her eyes and say, "yeah, whatever"..

 

Tongue, bitten.

 

The EVO was my first "Smart Phone" and I say that because that's the truth. My Favorite ROM for the EVO was Xplod. Next to it was Evervolv. Last was Nitro. I Love my LTE EVO but it really isn't the same. I miss some of the old ways of doing things but i'm more nostalgic than most.

 

I don't really follow anything on Verizon but I know that awhile back there was a leaked bootloader crack, so as far as I know, the VZW S3 is every bit as hackable as the other carriers.

 

Thou sir, are correct:

Nice. It's the only phone I semi regret not getting. And I guess really only because the camera is way better than the one on the gnex.

 

Dang, how in the heck can that thing fit in a pocket? Baggy pockets ftw.

 

Nice. I'm sure it will get great aosp support.

 

If I am correct, this is the subforum with the most posts. The EVO 4G was a groundbreaking phone ushering in the awesomeness we see today. Will any other phone have as much activity on this forum?

I too will be hanging onto my EVO for a bit longer. I unrooted for some service work a year ago, and just decided today to root again and flash some ROMs. Everytime I feel the need to buy a new phone, i just get a new ROM and it feels "new" again.

When quad core phones start being more common, I'll probably upgrade. Right now, LG has one and the Galaxy Note II are quad core. The next gen of phones will be quad cores, so here it comes.
