[Q] Preparing my Old Evo 4G LTE to Update OS, Transfer to Ting

My sister just had her old One X stolen, and I want to give her my old Evo 4G LTE. I had used this with Sprint, but when my Sprint contract expired, I both ended my Sprint service and bought a Nexus 5. So I haven't used it at all since then, and didn't go through any "unlock" process with Sprint, but did unlock it myself long ago using LazyPanda's unlocker. I was also thinking of putting the latest Lollipop CM on it before giving it to her.

The phone currently has MeanBean 2.3 (Android 4.1.1, Sense 4+, PRI 2.87_003, PRL 25018, Baseband 1.12.11.1119, HBOOT 1.12.1111) and TWRP (2.2.0) on it, and is rooted and unlocked (S-OFF, via LazyPanda).

My questions:

1. Is there anything special I have to do other than Ting's normal BYOD process to get this to work, since I have it unlocked already?

2. Any advice about a ROM to install, given my situation? CM? A different Sense ROM? One concern is, I see the latest CM 12 requires the "new partition layout," but I can't find a good explanation of how to update to this "new partition layout." Also, it seems like people are having issues with making LTE work on CM. Basically, I just want to give her a good, working phone that is somewhat optimized (battery life, speed).

Thanks for any advice at all - I've been away so long I'm a little out of the loop.

[TOOL][UTILITY] CIKA - Carliv Image Kitchen for Android - unpack/repack boot-recovery

Hi, I present you my latest work: CIKA aka Carliv Image Kitchen for Android . So, what is this? It's a utility (tool) for unpacking and repacking boot and recovery images for many kind of android phones. I made two versions, one for windows users and one for linux users. The windows version works by dragging&dropping over the script you want to use, while the linux version will work with terminal commans (very simple commands though). What's inside? For windows version the scripts are batch files and for linux bash files , but the names are the same and they do same thing: clear_all will clear the working folder deleting any unpacked boot/recovery folder, but not the boot or recovery files (original or repacked). image_info will print on screen all informations about the image you want to check (sizes, offsets, cmdline, etc.) and all these infos will be saved in a text file (which will be deleted when you clear the folder - see point 1). This is handy if you don't...

Part 2 of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina keeps the Harry Potter influence going

Everyone who’s been enjoying the magician-in-training aspect of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina should be happy to know that the second half of the show’s first season doubles down on its debt to Harry Potter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer while also drawing some on Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings . One of the most enduring ideas popularized by George Lucas and J.R.R. Tolkien is that world-changing powers can easily be misused. In this latest Sabrina run, the heroine’s decision to sign her name in “The Book of the Beast” at the end of the season’s first half means she’s now one of the most capable witches on Earth, and those new abilities are changing her. Chilling Adventures debuted last October with 10 episodes, introducing... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts http://bit.ly/2OQyWSY via IFTTT
