EDIT: Dang KB...I wasn't fast enough.

So long as you don't belittle others or act stupidly, there are no dumb questions in the Mik threads.

1) Mirror download is a 2nd download site completely separate from the 1st. For example, a lot of folks are not able to use Mediafire from their work (it's firewalled usually)...so they use a mirror site that is not firewalled. Same file being downloaded, just hosted on a different site.

2) That's a little more difficult question. Sometimes, if a Dev releases a minor update where most of the framework isn't changed, you can flash w/ just a wipe of Cache and Dalvik Cache. IMO, more often than not, a flash of both cache's and a full data wipe is better. You start w/ a clean slate, so to speak, when you do this. Not doing so leaves data around that CAN cause problems w/ some apps. This is not always the case, but you will never go wrong w/ a full wipe where you start from scratch. Others, feel free to disagree...just my opinion here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] captainchris:
Thank you! I have always wiped every time i have flashed a rom and i knew that some roms dont call for a complete wipe. Since it is easy to wipe i always did just in case. I have been using mybackup to backup messages and call log. Titanium backup for everything as long as i am switching sense to sense within the same version.

Besides, my parents taught me to always wipe. :P

*Thank you as wellkc_hubbard. The XDA community is amazing!

FYI, I managed to lift Contacts Application from Cm7 (stable release) and put it on this ROM.

I like Sense Contacts except for one thing there is no quick way (while driving) to navagite to a conact with sense.

You have to say person name to bring up contact. Then click on show location which brings up google maps. Then click on thumb tack location. Then choose driving directions. Then choose drive. Geesh.

With ASOP contacts you just click the Nav icon next to the address. One click after saying contacts name. Which is very doable while driving.

Just copy CM7_version_xxxx.zip\system\apps\contacts.apk to your SD card and install it.

Everything that links to a contact will then ask which app you want to use by default.
[EVO 4G Android Development] captainchris:
So this doesn't actually interfere with sense contacts or remove it?

Anyone care to share the apk if they have on on hand?

Can't hurt to nandroid your MikG setup and install Synergy for a try....keep in mind it's based on MikG as well....(See OP for a little more detail on that topic)....
[EVO 4G Android Development] mexiking713:
I tried it last night and I didn't like it. MikG is more polished and smooth. The devs did a great job but I'm used to the smooth and fast MikG. Still the best Rom out.

wallpaper issue

I have the most recent release of this rom flashed on my phone. I can not change the wallpaper on it for some reason. The only way I was able to, was to change it and restart the phone. Any thoughts on this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mswlogo:
I did not read that. It's based on the Same leak and maybe they borrowed a few bits from MikG with permission. But I didn't see it being based on MikG.

Thanks for folks that tried it and shared their comments, I was wondering myself.

Smooth and stable is important.

Competition is good though :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Well. I would consider it based. Considering they used mik optimized apks. There are a lot of apks. :-)

When you base code off of a Rom or use apks from a Rom, I think it is more than just borrowing a few bits. Of course, anything used was expressly permitted so no whammies. Something to think about.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mswlogo:
I don't know the details. But I believe folks use different tools/procedures for optimizing THEIR WHOLE ROM. I assume that comment means they used his procedure or tools to optimize their ROM in the same manner.

If the ROM was "based" on MikG I think they would have said so. It's not.

It comes from a common Leak "Speedy".

I think to say it's based on MikG is wrong. Even if a lot of optimize APKs were directly borrowed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Would you believe it if aamikam said it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Jade beat me to it! Was gonna post you that linky. :-)

Edit. It was not just his method. It was his Rom from which synergy used to add in various changes. So that's why I say based in mikg.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mswlogo:
I don't really care.

Try googling "aamikam optimized apk" he helps lot's of folks optimize THEIR ROM's APK's (borrowed or the procedures or the tools, I don't know and I don't care).

Including CM7 based ROMs.

I'm just saying don't mislead people into thinking the other rom is similar and I don't think aamikam would want you to either. Read his opening post in this thread. He does not want to be considered part of other "teams" when he's not. Even though he is a great guy and has helps many folks with their roms, directly or indirectly.

When someone takes someone elses ROM and starts with it as a base. That's what I would call "Based On". And that's generally what it means around here.

If you want to bug the guy with stupid questions. Ask him directly. Is Synergy ROM "Based On" MikG. I'm sure he'll say no.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Did you even read the post I linked to? He says it straight out.......
[EVO 4G Android Development] mexiking713:
That's says it all

[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
It's not just the optimized apks...

Get this.

Opt apk is good. But opt stock apk is only okay. Mik opt apk includes other hacks. For example. Lockscreen from sense 3.0. Hotspot. Framework system font size. Others.

I am a follower if mik as well as Myn, since that was my first Rom, but its not whether or not you think it is same base. Fact is that it is.

Just something to think about.

And while mikky said he is not part of team synergy, he did state that synergy uses his base. Using mikg as base is fine btw. It's okay. Just got to believe it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mswlogo:
I stand corrected with foot in mouth. Didn't catch that was a link.

I'm really surprized that much was "borrowed" and all the noise of the "Synergy Team" and Myn and Friend being totally stand up guys and such a small mention in the credits.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I think that was part of aamikam's request; he didn't think he needed to be stood out as a main contributor.

Either way, this all trivial. Those that run synergy follow myn/virus; nothing wrong with that. Those that bounce back and forth can't stay put with a ROM; again that's ok. And those of us that stay here are commited to Mik's work. It doesn't matter who's base is what and what other devs use/do/run. Choice, competition, collaboration is what make our community, EVO, people the best around.

Hello everyone I just update to 2.15 from 2.0 and my yahoo email wont sync the messages to my phone. My Gmail works I can get those emails but I cant get my yahoo ones.I wiped everything 3 times before I went to 2.15, did I need to go 2.1 then 2.15?

Love the ROM and have been on it since 1.3.

One question about the settings in the HTC browser (with increased functionality). If I go into settings and set GEP Zoom, it works initially, but if I go to a different page or reopen the browser later, often times, I'll get text reflow again. I go back to settings and GEP Zoom is still checked. I uncheck it and recheck it and that solves the problem ... until the next time.

Is there something I am missing or is this a small bug in an otherwise wonderful ROM.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sephiroth0316:
No not using the yahoo app, it has always worked throughout the other builds

Is partitioning necessary on this ROM. I have it on my EVO and am partitioned but has a coworkers want the same ROM on his EVO I rooted some time ago. He will be coming from stock 3.70 to this! Lol. I already put the radio updates on for him. Just wondering if he has to partition
[EVO 4G Android Development] BuddaBelly:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Taupakari:
I didn't and it works fine for me. I suppose if you have an insane number of apps it may be useful, but I move the apps I can to the SD card using Android's native functionality and I have tons of free storage space.

Question:

The email app, the one that the ROM has by default, I set up my Yahoo account and it only delivers some of the messages... :confused:

For example, today I checked my Yahoo account on the internet and I had 7 messages around 10:00am... and only one or two showed on the app... Anybody know of this issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fredrik949:
Both me and yy friend just flashed this ROM and we are both getting horrible battery life. He has 1.77 PRI and I have 2.15. When using the phone battery is dropping about 1% a minute for both of us.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I'm sure you've checked which radios are on, rogue apps, settings, and unnecessary or excessive syncing. Right?

Both of you might want to consider recalibrating the battery next. Be sure to allow the phone to settle into the ROM/kernel; battery life has been known to stabilize and improve after a period of time.

One other idea is to check your evdo settings in ##3282# and make sure mode is on auto. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] agentphantom:

Yeah I've notice the same since mikg v2.1. Good thing I back up the whole HTC 2.3.3 browser with Titanium backup from the previous version and then use it to restore both app + data on top.

I'm having problems with stock hotspot it says its working but can't find it on my laptop.... Any fix for this? Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] mswlogo:
Well it's not the deleting photos that crashes phone. Because camera just crashed phone with no deletes at all.

I have another hunch. It could be when the phone tries to access the GPS for Geo-Tagging. I shut Geo-Tagging off and we'll see how it goes.

It's hard to prove anything because I could take 100 pics with no issues with Geo-Tagging enabled and then boom, reboot.

Other than this the 2.15 ROM seems solid and smooth.

Did the stock camera (which could crash phone for some folks) also have Geo-Tagging?

[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
I'm referring to a different screen. The one mentioned above doesn't show wake lock times for apps.

Something that looks like this

If you tap on any of the bars, it shows time spent in partial wake lock state.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Taupakari:
I believe that is the System Panel or Spare Parts app, not something stock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
No need to quote when replying to a post above yours.

It's not spare parts or system panel. It's actually part of the rom. Using adw launcher or similar, you can create a custom shortcut to this. IIRC it's listed somewhere under settings when you select custom shortcut in adw.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mothmansound:
Great thanks man
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
You referred to this function missing in this ROM. Could you point me to a sense ROM with this ability built-in by default? I have not seen one that has this information graphically available without an app. As you already know, this function in spare parts doesn't work on gb roms yet.

You can still determine wake lock apps by using a combination of watchdog, osmonitor, and system panel. It might be more cumbersome than a single app, but just as effective.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
This is true. There are a few apps that link to that setting page. I think there was even a ## code to get to it, but not in MikG.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
Here's the entry from my adw launcher database for the shortcut.

#Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;category=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER;component=com.android.settings/.battery_history.BatteryHistory;end

Spare part simply links to the same function.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Taupakari:
Very frequently a post is inserted while typing out a reply, thus one uses the quote function to ensure that the audience knows what is being answered. You're welcome for my attempt to help.

As others have said, that function is not stock in any ROM I have used.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mswlogo:
Nope. Just one partition, stock 8GB Card.

What I was gonna try is pointing pictures to \Data (internal RAM) and when I was looking through the options. I saw the Geo Tagging option. So I'll try that off for a bit and see how it does. It's just a hunch.

For anyone with camera issues please post if you are partitioned or not. I am. I have only had 3 reboots since flashing. If we find that its a2sd related then that's great. I will just move it off my partition and it should be all good. If its happening to all regardless of partition then it could be just the 3.0 camera. I may have been the first person to post w this issue and dismissed it as a few guys on here tested theirs and it works/worked fine. Although now more and more are posting similar issues. It's such a great ROM but I take so many pics that if its not functional or happens when it wants to then I will have to ditch it in favor of something that doesn't reboot when taking a pic...even occasionally its a limp. Is much rather solve it and keep this sweet ROM until kernels drop...then I get my battery life back that I had on froyo due to sbc and other factors. Thanks, let's fix this biatch

[EVO 4G Android Development] toomuchgame441:
The camera issue is definitely not related to you being partitioned. I am not partioned and I have had reboots/dark photo quality out of Mik's stock camera in the ROM, the previous camera he used on earlier verisons, and the tt camera. They've all produced similar results for me.

The reboot issue is annoying enough, but picture quality with flash has been pretty unbareable for me. But the dark image quality isn't a ROM issue, its more of a Gingerbread w/ HTC Sense issue I believe. The reboots are iffy, because some versions like 1.04 never rebooted for me, versions like 2.1 has (along with 2.15).

ONE THING VERY INTERESTING...

For those having dark image quality issues with flash ON, you can hold your finger slightly over the LEDs on the EVO (do not cover it, allow flash to still come out of LEDs). This will produce brighter/better images that we were use to on 2.2 Froyo ROMs. I don't know how something like this can ever be fixed in a ROM... just something I've noticed.

Here's my data:

HW version 003

No a2sd/ext partition

Have had the camera freeze and reboots
