    what phone, evo or what?

    if evo.... go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=653 rom manager is easy or if u want, manually..........
  • birddog23
    Yes Evo. So if i get ROM manager from the market I can use whatever different custom roms I want?

    yes and no.....Rom manager has so many roms pre-loaded and you can download roms from the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=653 Read through the different roms and find which ones you like and which kernel works best! I'm using fresh rom and kingklick kernel and my evo is very fast and battery is better. King has 21 different kernels, with the newer ones being mostly better but some use the older kernels because they worked best for them!!!! If your not a member, join XDA and read through and you will be flashing roms in no time.... Many to choose from and some are pre-loaded into rom manager.

    I use titanium backup and rom mananger to backup my roms before I flash a new rom(just in case) something goes wrong.
  • birddog23
    Bingo! thanks imex, you the man
  • imex99
    As I stated before... I like fresh rom and kings kernels. Many to pick from and works good on my EVO.
  • birddog23
    One more thing to ask for you. Are you using the pro version of rom manager and titanium or just the free?
  • imex99
    I have the full versions but you can get it here: http://getandroidstuff.com/?s=titanium

    I think you have to pay for tor rom manager but i use them so much I paid for them... feel free to ask questions and if I can help, I will!

    Check your local Sprint store, we just got a 2600 mAh battery (the one that comes with the phone is 1500 mAh) for those of you who experience poor battery life. Also got in a dock that comes with an HDMI cable. Battery is $55 and comes with both a white and black battery cover. Dock is $40.
  • birddog23
    Does the 2600mah battery add bulk to the phone? I just ordered a 3500mah from Quickshippers

    How much extra bulk does the battery add?

    I would buy the battery if it didnt need the extended cover....

    I have a 3500 and it doubles the thickness of the phone.....I do not use it because of that.
  • birddog23
    The one from Quickshippers is only supposed to add a very small amount of bulk. Anywho I do have an extra 3500mah battery with cover if anyone needs one
  • Mooney44Cards
    It makes the EVO look like it has a battery shaped tumor on the back. It's really not all that bad tho.
  • justincredible
    Will it make my junk look bigger when I put it in my front pocket? If so, sold.

    my buddy has an android phone (which one? I forget) but he has an app that allows him to download free mp3s to his phone's library. i'd have that app if i was you.

    Or you can use Replay Media Catcher to "timeshift" Pandora.

    MixZing is also nice for a music player
