So with patch 2.51 Is the kernel an updated kernel? Or is it the original kernel. Just trying to figure out which version I should flash, any help is much appreciated
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
The version that includes the kernel is indeed an updated HTC kernel from the latest OTA.

Late edit: 500!! :D :cool: Where's my toy!?
[EVO 4G Android Development] twiztidvandal417:
Thanks a bunch. should I recallibrate the battery again as well correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I guess it can't hurt unless you've done it fairly recently.
[EVO 4G Android Development] twiztidvandal417:
I actually just installed mikg2.5 yesterday and recallibrated fully today, think I could get away with not doing so? btw I LOVE MikG2.5!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Yeah, you're probably fine. If you start noticing it being a little quirky then maybe do it again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] agentphantom:
You can get away w/o but if it makes you feel better, then do it. It's not going to hurt anything. good luck! I agree 2.5 is awesome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Just to throw it out there, not everyone agrees with that. See here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
That was very interesting. Kinda the opposite of what everybody thinks. Thanks for the link.
[EVO 4G Android Development] agentphantom:
Certainly a different perspective, very interesting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Yeah, pretty interesting. Just to give credit where it's due though, that link was originally posted by pwnyourace in my battery calibration thread on theMikMik here.

Is the hotspot on this hacked or no?

Sent by breaking the sound barrier
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Only for 3g, but yes. Even if it wasn't, you wouldn't get charged by using it. You would just get an error message saying that it's not enabled on your account.
[EVO 4G Android Development] agentphantom:
Damn it's early to be awake. Good morning buckhunter, jadeboy, nick, selders, and all of mik land.

To those of you who are fortunate to be free from laboring today, go out and spend some money, preferably on gadgets & gizmos, to stimulate this pathetic economy we are having.
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:

[EVO 4G Android Development] DNarsingh:
Is there a new kernel that comes with the MikG 2.51 patch?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Good morning! Unfortunately I am laboring today, so no spending money for me.

Sent via EVO 4G.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Yes, the new kernel from the latest update is what's included in the patch if you selected the with-kernel option.

Sent via EVO 4G.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DNarsingh:
I know it may be too early to tell, but if we use any of the custom kernels that were based off the previous kernel's source code, would it break anything?

Yes

Sense 2.1+3.0 vs 3.0

I have couple questions..

Am I only one who prefer 2.1+3.0 over 3.0? :)

Is anyone having recurring reboot once a while? Is Mik working on that issue or he is focusing on the sense 3.0 (Mik3D)?

Does EVO 3D restart the sense screen sometimes?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Black-Dash:
Same here.

Question to all: Whenever I reboot my phone, (evo), sometimes it'll reboot to no lockscreen. It'll show my status bar, wallpaper and notifications, if I have any, but there wont be a way to access anything because the lockscreen would be missing. How do I fix this? BTW, it only happens when I hold the power button and press 'reboot' and normal. If I power it down manually, it doesnt do it. I just wont choose reboot anymore because I have to install everything via recovery again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Black-Dash:
Everytime I try to use Hotspot it says I cant use it because it isnt enabled on my account. Then immediately following that, it'll say but you can still create a mobile spot, (cant really remember).
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Good morning to you as well :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
No revolts for me. What are you doing when it happens? Maybe I can try to replicate it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
+1. If you just want the kernel for some reason, I have it in my Mediafire folder here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
No such issue here. Did you do a full wipe with Amon_RA before flashing? Restore any system data? Did you flash any mods, themes, etc.?

You should only be getting that hotspot error of you try using it on 4G. Same questions as above.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Craigerade:
No issues with 2.51 for me. This is the most stable rom available.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dacib:
Same here. I love it. Thank you Mik!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] twiztidvandal417:
Is this kernel specifically for mikg or can you use it with any rom you'd like? Also thanks very much for the help! 2.51 seems to run perfectly!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
The kernel itself can probably be used on other ROMs, but I'm not sure about the full patch. I posted the kernel a few posts above this one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cdadams1223:
Dumb question alert! I flashed the 2.51 patch w/ the new kernel. Previously, I was using one of the custom kernels (Freedom 0.8.5) to overclock and had an on/off profile to improve battery life. Here's the question: the patch included the fix the voice problem people were having. If I go back to the Freedom or Golden Monkey kernals will it screw that up again?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I don't think it should, but if you have issues, just reflash the patch.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
Have you guys updated your radios? Any benefits? As well as pri and nv... My phone is fine now but if the new radios pri and nv help ill update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I haven't updated, only because I say if it ain't broke.........
[EVO 4G Android Development] cdadams1223:
That makes sense...thanks Jade!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
I updated radio, so now I have:

phone: HTC EVO 4G hrw 003

radio: EVO_Radio_2.15.00.08.08

rom: MikG 2.51

kernel: ChopSuey-v.9.2.7-UNIVERSAL

Regard to new radio, only difference is better 3G but I am not sure. Everything is working OK.

Radio forum posted new radio today:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Black-Dash:
How do you flash radios; Like a regular zip file of a rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DNarsingh:
Yes, Calkulin's files are all meant to be flashed through recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
The ones from that thread are flashed in recovery. It's usually recommended to find the bootloader version though because there's less chance for error. You can find the bootloader version of the latest radio in the wiki here. Be sure to verify your downloads with the md5 so that you don't run into problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] interpol909:
I've been running custom Roman since my days with HTC hd2, HTC incredible, Samsung fascinated, and now recent HTC EVO 4G. All I can say its hats off to aamikam this room is the smoothest I have ever ran on a phone. I'm talking everything works on this ROM I'm running 2.5 with 2.51 patch and I also updated radio Wimax ect.... I read on his thread that he is working on actually turning this build into a sense 3.0 build instead of porting and ROM from a different device can't wait I'm sure it's going to be a smooth, responsive as Mikeg 2.5
[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
New question

I just rooted/installed mikg v2.51 with Chopsuey. I'm using tasker and have a profile which requires giving tasker admin privileges.

Prior to rooting, the menu setting (for changing admin privileges) was in Menu>Settings>Location and Security. With mik's ROM that menu option is not available. Does anyone know where it is?

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I never even knew that existed, but I think I see it under Settings > Security if I'm not mistaken.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
This is my security > screen. My apologies for asking, but does yours look like this? If so, my noob-i-ness equals blindness because I do not see it. Any help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
I have it on my security screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
wow, i don't get that at all. running mikg 2.51 with chopsuey. i'm a noob, can anyone explain this? can i get that menu option back somehow without reflashing? is this a function of the kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
Maybe reflash the rom over top what you have now. You shouldnt lose anything but it will reinstall the rom. Jade may know of something else.

Edit: I just saw you are running chopsuey kernel if you reflash the rom you will be back to the stock kernel. Reflash rom reboot then go back to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik cache then reflash chopsuey and you should be good to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Black-Dash:
Loving the new radios and wimax update. I have a better 4G signal in my apartment now and its more consistent. I stay on the 1st floor of a 6-unit building, and normally didn't get much 4G!

Running MikG 2.5 with 2.51 patch, and Aggressive Freedom Kernel!
[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
Copy that. Thank you. I'll stand by for more input before I make the leap...spent a ton of time getting this far :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jason Black:
I officially get better battery life on this rom than any asop rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
Check the edit on my last post
[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
Couple of questions.

First, the order in your recommendation is identical to how I installed in the first place...well, I installed 2.5 (with kernel I guess), then 2.51 without kernel, then the chopsuey kernel.

So I don't understand how your recommendation is going to correct the problem? I just want to make sure I understand before I go any further.

Also, is it the ROM or the kernel that's responsible for that menu item?

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
Maybe you had a bad install the first go around so reflashing might give you that setting. You could redownload the rom before you reflash it just to be safe incase you had a bad rom download to start with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
@beepsilver

Did you do a full wipe before installing the rom and did you restore any data after flashing the rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DNarsingh:
Actually, I am also missing that option on MikG 2.51, so I don't know if it was a bad install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
I wiped everything except sdcard 3 times using amon ra. I have both 2.5 and 2.51 at the ready to go again if I need to...

Are there big differences between 2.5 and 2.51? I'd like to know if 2.5 has the option before I flash again. I'm not enjoying setting up apps all over again each time.

BTW I did not do any restores after flashing.

Thanks.

I'd like to hear from others on whether or not the menu option is present in 2.5 / 2.51

That'll help me decide to move on this or not. Tasker is a huge help to me, and without admin privileges it comes up significantly short.

Thanks everybody.
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
What kernel are you on?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DNarsingh:
Chop Suey .91, but I don't see why that would affect the administrator option. But what do I know :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
Im just trying to narrow it down i dont think the kernel would have anything to do with it either but I am on freedom so idk. Anybody else running chopsuey confirm they are missing the admin setting on the security screen??
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I personally don't think kernel has anything to do with it. The reason I think it shows up for me is because I have an app (Widgetsoid) that requested permission, and it now shows up in there. I have a feeling that if you start using Tasker, it should ask for permission, and if you grant it, you will see the menu. Just a guess.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
thanks, i have widgetsoid too, so i'll try setting a "lock" which always asks for admin rights. tasker did not though.

*EDIT WITH A FRIGGIN SMILEY FACE*

Jade, that was it! Thank you very much! Glad I did not go so far as to reflash anything!
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
I am also running that widget so that would make sense
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Yeah, that's exactly what Widgetsoid needed it for. The menu only shows the app with a checkbox next to it though........
[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
Buck, thanks for your help tonight!
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
Your welcome. Keep us posted if it works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
It works! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Tasker or the menu?
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
Glad it worked out for you. Just a fyi if you ever need to reflash the rom overtop what you have now do a backup just to be safe, you shouldnt lose the data or apps it will just have the stock kernel that came with the rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vin255764:
I flashed this ROM on my wife's EVO.This is a first and probably last custom Rom on that phone.the only thing is missing is a footprints.We travel alot,so fotprints is a "must have" feature.Anybody have a flash zip with footprints?
[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
The functions in tasker that were not working, now ARE working. Some tasks require admin privileges like Display > Lock (just like Widgetsoid). When I went into Widgetsoid to put the display lock on one of my widgets, it notified me it need device administrator permission. As soon as I accepted that, I closed Widgetsoid and went to Menu > Settings > Security....and the Device Administrators menu option was present.....just like you surmised.

Thank you again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Awesome. Still strange that Widgetsoid prompted you and Tasker didn't........:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
I thought so too. However, instead of building the profile from scratch I just imported my backup. Maybe that's the difference.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
It is being worked on, but I don't think anyone has gotten it to work yet. There are a few threads on http://themikmik.com about it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Could be, but I'm pretty sure I did that for Widgetsoid also, and I think it still asked. Oh well, at least it works :D.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vin255764:
Hard to beleave.I thought its removed just to keep ROM simple and clean....
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Unfortunately, it depends on other files besides the .apk's. Also, since it's based on the Shift, that may be causing some issues also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I made one for my wife, in fact. Let me upload it and paste a link.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
You ended up getting it to work? You should put it up on theMikMik also. There were a bunch of requests for it and I thought cmonster was working on it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] vin255764:
I can confirm,Captain's footprint zip works fine.No widget,but all app features working just fine
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Hmmm. The widget isn't working? I'll look into it. I included it, so there's no reason it shouldn't be showing up. The only thing I couldn't fix was the units showing up as km instead of miles. The only way you can change it (apparently) is through the Locations app, which doesn't even come with the Shift ROM. I should be able to make a flashable of that though, if the units bother anyone else, and then the app could just be uninstalled once the Setting is changed.

I'll work on both of those things today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
just curious - how come this app isn't available on the market? I've never heard of it before but it sounds like it would be cool to have any time you go on a trip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Because it's part of HTC Sense.

[EVO 4G Android Development] asmd6230:
Love this ROM.

Started with with v2.45 and had camera FCs and the OS as a whole got laggy over time needing reboots., but still the overall experience way better than the cons.

Ive upgraded to v2.5, again awesome! didnt know it could get better. :)

the problem im having now is that sound manager (to control volumes) v1 or v2 dont work. Worked fine in 2.45 but cant get either to work now. I want to it to simulate quite hours thats standard on AOSP.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerryGNYC:
Hi. Not to belabor the obvious/usual, but did you wipe before upgrading? If so, how and what?

Also, how did you restore your apps AND data after the update. My system was not pleased with app data restoral (MyBackup Pro), after updating from 2.45 to 2.50 (and I don't believe it's recommended, either...). I was getting lots of FCs, and had to clear data and reenter the settings for many of my apps (but it was worth it! :))
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Wow, is it really Tuesday? So confusing..... Good morning though!
[EVO 4G Android Development] asmd6230:
thanks for the reply. I wiped data and cache (using cwm that came along with revolutionary root). i did initially restore sound manager v2 that worked in v2.4. when it didnt work, i uninstalled it and reinstalled it fresh from the market. still didnt work.

do you suggest a reinstall of v2.5?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Yessir. That is not a good enough wipe. Also, ClockWorkMod recovery is known to not always wipe properly, so I recommend using Amon_RA's recovery. His thread with downloads and installation instructions is here. You can also "flash alternate recovery" in ROM Manager (it has been updated to the latest version). Note that CWM nandroids are not compatible with Amon_RA and will need to be redone.

Once you switch recoveries, try following this guide to flash MikG.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jason Black:
Whats up guys!

I just downloaded the v. 2.5.1 patch only without kernel. What does the 2.5.1 patch and since it says without kernel, does this mean it wont change my wonderful more freedom kernel to stock?.. I mean, i would assume it wont, but you never know lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Check the changelog. And yes, the "without kernel" patch should leave your existing kernel in place.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerryGNYC:
I would suggest flashing Amon_Ra's recovery. People have found it does a better job of wiping than ClockworkMod (myself included), and then do a wipe/fresh install. I wipe at least twice, as standard procedure, even with RA. With CWM, I would wipe at least 3 times.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Good morning selders!
[EVO 4G Android Development] asmd6230:
hi, downloaded rom manager, install alternate recovery is grayed out.

anyhow, as a last ditch effort before a fresh reinstall of the os was to reboot and reinstall sound manager v2 (exactly like how i did before)... but this time, lo and behold.. it works. when i make an adjustment, it registers and the volume shows the change. go figure...

im just glad it does though.

thanks again, for all who replied. its very much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I'm really not sure why the Footprints widget isn't showing up, but I have a solution - you can just install it from this post. I would delete it from /system/app first, though.

Since the ROM is odexed, and I wouldn't want to slow down the system by adding any deodexed APKs into the mix, I have a "better" method for installing Footprints, so that it ends up on /data (or your EXT partition, if you're using a2sd):

- Install the Footprints system files (flashable zip attached to this post)

- Download the Footprints app & widget APKs (from this post), and install.

- Done!

That should get you working and uninstallable Footprints. If anyone has issues, let me know.

P.S. As far as Locations goes, the version I'm currently trying to use performs a device ID check, so, while it installs, it Force Closes. If you open the Locations Car Panel, and go to Map Settings, the units automatically adjust themselves from Metric to Imperial, which fixes it in Footprints. But it's a LOT of FC'ing to get there, and the Locations app itself is unusable. I'm going to look for an older version without the Device check, and see if I can get it working a bit more smoothly, for anyone that wants to try it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rileyd5:
Thanks, "with kernel" gives you what kernel exactly? Sorry I'm just confused if its a new htc kernel from the evo ota or another custom kernel Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
It's the latest HTC kernel from the newest OTA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Glad it worked, but i still highly recommend Amon_RA. My last post about it has the link to his thread, and I would recommend the bootloader method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikee4fun:
Hi Sam, I was trying to decipher your English but I get your point. As far as I know we will have to wait for am official kernel source code release before we can start playing the oc or uc game. That is it is released by HTC and then one of the kernel masters go chop sui on it.
