Installing CyanogenMod on my HTC Evo 4G

Last weekend I dropped my HTC evo and cracked my digitizer glass. I brought a new digitizer and installed it per instruction , however, I broked the LCD screen in the process. The one thing I did not follow was using a hair dryer to soften the glue that is holding the  glass to the digitizer. So guys who want to try doing this. Most important tip. Use a hair dryer to warm up the glass around the edges to loosen the tape that holds the glass down.

Well, my good friend John gave me a spare HTC evo. The phone had Nandroid back up installed and it was already rooted. I was ready to

I checked out this site ,
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Evo_4G:_Full_Update_Guide . This site gives a very good brief on how to install the cyanogenMod . However it does not talk about Nandroid root access method.

So the basic steps are

1. copy the zip file on to the root of the SD card. 
1. CM zip ( http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#HTC_Evo_4G)
2. google apps zip.(http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps)
2.  backup the phone
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Install the mod from the zip.
1. Browse the zip file from sd card root.
2. Install.
5. Install the google apps. 
1. Browse the zip file for the google apps
2. Install.

The nandroid back had all the menu options similar to the ClockworkMod recovery menu options. I wish I had taken the pics of the process.

Well, if you have any questions on this process, please post question in the comments. 

Good luck to all who is trying to get the cyanogenMod. Thanks to the CyanogenMod Team.
