Downloaded and installed MikG 2.41 from themikmik.com. I used Amon 2.3 and wiped every single category except sdcard. I then ran vr superwipe. Installed the ROM and it got to the point of me swiping the lock ring and it rebooted immediately.

After reboot, it let me go through and configure the phone but the voicemail app force closed. I rebooted and it did it again.

So... I wiped cache and dalvik and reflashed 2.41. It seems fine now.

I have gone back and forth between this and synergy and find this a bit quicker on my phone overall. Could that be in part to the lack of a rotating launcher?

Great Job!
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
There might be a component to the rotating launcher causing lag. But there are some core differences between the 2. At one point in time, there might of been alot of similarities between mikg and synergy. But that was a long time ago in the rom world, so I'm sure these 2 roms diverged and are now quite different from each other.

That rotating rosie was cool for about a day, then it started to get on my nerves when it would start spinning when I wanted to just go 2 screens over. Consider me old school, but I prefer 2.1 rosies.

Hello all i need some help, ran into my first prob with mikg.

I flashed 2.41 and now my market will not show any apps in the my apps section. If i search the market for the apps it does say installed though. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the market with no change. I went through and deleted com.android.vending and vending.updater in data/data and reinstalled the market and even tried installing themed markets and nothing has been able to resolve this issue.If any buddy could help or point me in the right direction that would be awesome
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Try going to Settings > Applications > Manage applications, go to Market, clear cache and data, then open the Market and they should be there. If not, try downloading a free app or rebooting. If they still aren't there, you may just have to wait it out for a bit.

Re: JadeBoy or Nic or anyone else, Please, I need your help and advice

Hi Guys

I just downloaded this rom and I love it...Thanks for recommending the switch from the old Mikfroyo I had.

I have two issues and one dwarfs the other. The big issue first

I downloaded and installed this apk app for music. It was to downloaded some persian songs for my mom that are like 50yrs old that she could not find and the store by our house. I did use it and accessed the internet with it.

The app asked for permission to access by ID, phone infor, location, read and write, everything, and I allowed it like a dumbass. By the way, it was dl'ed from 4shared.com.

Since then, I have uninstalled and did a full wipe of the phone and updated the radio AND installed this new rom.

So here is my question: I am sure there is something shoddy about the program itself, it wanted to read my contacts and my phone id etc for god sakes, but am i no longer in risk since I cleared the phone, update the thing and uninstalled OR is there potential that my phone doomed forever.

I am scared to punch in any passwords,sign into anything bc Im scared of a keylogger, etc.

Second, and minor issue, where is swype. How come there is no sype. is there a apk for that?

Thanks so so much for helping me out in advance, any input would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] diesel joe:
Hi all. Is the CIQ stripped out of 2.41? I don't see it in the change log. If not can someone post a link to the instructions? I removed them from mikfroyo, but I'm brain dead and can't find the instructions now. I searched ciq strip and ciq stripping instructions. No instructions popped up. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
You should be fine, but out of curiosity, you wiped with Amon_RA?

As for Swype, you can get it from here of maybe try one of the themed ones in this thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reza111:
Thanks for your reply, and link. I used the Calkin Full Wipe program through recovery, and then I did the manual wipe like 3 times and then also cache, delvick, data, blah blah just to be safe.

So you think I'm good? Are you into these things? That is, do you kinda know what these hackers, spammers, malware whatever they are called, are capable of?

Should I have wiped with Amon??? Would that have been better?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikee4fun:
CIQ is not in it. But if it did have it, you can use Titanium backup to remove it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Personally, I think uninstalling the app is enough to get rid of that. I would recommend Amon_RA in general to wipe before flashing a ROM, just because CWM doesn't always do the best job of wiping.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Dalvik is internal by default. In cache partition if I remember correctly.

According to Mik, the zipalign script is more reliable than the one on a2sd.

Hey myn. I'm kind of confused, you confirmed my statement but then said it wasn't based off Mikg.

It was my understanding that miks base Mikg, all his apks and such, were used to start synergy. If I'm wrong, I apologize, didn't mean any disrepect. What all you guys can do is pretty impressive. Your rls5 was actually one of the first roms I flashed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snxxxxx:
Read first paragraph from OP. Mik also confirmed all statement about mikG and synergy developers team.

Btw synergy and mikG use speedy port for base, that it was first ported by Misfit.

OK, so maybe I'm just having a bad day, but I cannot get v2.41 to boot correctly. Yes, I wiped everything but SDCard using RA2.3. Tried downloads from both links on mik's site and MD5's check out, both on my pc and on my phone. Just sits at the splash screen...for like 20+ minutes.

Think I'm gonna nandroid back to 2.3 and have a couple of beers to think this one over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenneu:
I had a strange problem with the first flash. I did a very thorough wipe (including vr superwipe)... After the "issue", I went back and wiped dalvik and cache only, the reflashed and it worked like a champ.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mike208:
Is this even close to normal? What kind of battery life is everybody getting with this rom? I've heard mikG has good battery life, and I am abotu to flash it and give it a go, but this just wow'd me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Thanks. I should have mentioned that I've also done about every combination of re-boot/wipe cache/wipe dalvik/reflash/etc. Really weird.

EDIT: There's your first official thanks. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
I can feel your frustration kc, after what I went through with data.

"From the deepest reaches of my mind"
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
That was NOT a normal day, and I probably should have been a bit more clear about that. Having said as much, I am routinely getting 15+ hours on a pretty heavy day of use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Just for grins, I tried a clean flash of v2.3, which I know was good. Kind of surprised me when it wouldn't boot either. So, now I have re-flashed my recovery thinking that may be the problem. Gonna start flashing ROM's from scratch again now. Will report back soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mike208:
15+ on heavy use sounds great. What do you consider heavy use though? I have my work email set up for push and get maybe 20 emails max a day there. Maybe another 5-10 on my gmail. Usually a couple of phone calls a day, 5-15 minutes max usually. And at most 30-50 texts. Check facebook occasionally. Weather updates every 3 hours, facebook updates once a day, no news or stocks. I don't consider that to be heavy use, and honestly I am probably erroring on the high side with most of those numbers. And with that setup I have been getting 12-18 hours on some of the roms I have been running lately. But if I add any web browsing to that, I'd be lucky to make it through a work day on one charge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
OK. After having problems getting v2.41 and then v2.3 (which I was running previous to trying to flash v2.41) to boot, I did all the normal wiping of everything, rebooting, etc. long story short, my recovery got borked somehow. Reloaded RA 2.3 and was able to get v2.41 to load into the ROM.

WEIRD!
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Hey kc. I've heard that some strange issues occur with the SD cards that cause this problem.

Based on that, people have resolved the issue by completely reformatting the SD card. Personally I have never encountered a problem, but I don't use an ext partition either.

Edit: Corrupted recovery.... hmm... Hope that isn't a frequent occurrence.

[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Yeah. I'm not real sure what was wrong the more I think about it. I do know that I cannot go back to my nandroid of 2.3, it just plain will not boot (which certainly sounds like an SD card issue). I can't explain why re-flashing Recovery seemed to allow me to do clean installs of either 2.3 or 2.41 though.

I'm stumped. At least I got a ROM up and running. Gonna do my stuff to it and will then reformat my SD card just to be safe.

You're using "Disk Mode"? Did you flash a custom kernel by any chance?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgstidham:
i would first off like to say that this ROM is the smoothest, most feature rich, enjoyable rom i have used on my EVO.

with that said, if i use an app with 3g for more than 10 minutes, my battery drains literally 1 percent for every minute. And i might as well say that 4G is absolutely pointless unless you are charging your phone/tethering in a non-hopspot area (where you can plug in your phone to your computer). i probably text over 75 messages a day, and 30 minutes of talk time.

I am terrified of using any 3g utilizing app for longer than 15 minutes. then i talk to an iPhone 4 user who talks about how they play "hanging with friends" all day, text like a mad man, and NEVER turn off 3g, and they are still at 50% End of Day(EOD) and can go for two days without a charge.

Now, I absolutely love android, but i don't ever feel like i can just surf the web, or use an app without being extra paranoid that my phone is going to die before 7pm.

Now i know this is beating an old horse (of bad battery), but i just had to express my frustration somewhere that people might be able to share in my suffering and potentially provide some awesome solutions (for monetary donations on my end).

for now i am just going to buy an 3500mah batteries and sew together a case that can hold the stock 1500mah battery and swap it out when the 3500 mah battery dies. maybe then, MAYBE, i'll last a full day worry free :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Well 4g can drain the battery pretty quick, but your 3g power draw is abnormal. There are many different actions you can try to improve the battery usage; so much so, its impossible to list them all here. Usually it involves noticing what your phone is doing and going from there. What have you tried so far? I'll rattle off some ideas to get the troubleshooting started.

What radio version are you running?

What pri version do you have?

Updated profile lately?

Running the stock kernel that comes with the rom?

Have you recalibrated the battery lately?

Do you have wake lock?

Have you checked for a rouge app causing the drain?

Are you running the undervolt script?

Does your log history show repeated errors?

What is your evdo mode set to in epst?

These are just a few questions to ask. Have a look over them and see what applies to you. This will be more of a feedback for more ideas type of process instead of a magical one time fix. Good luck.

Running the stock kernel that comes with the rom?

Running stock kernel that came with mik - didnt know sense 2.1 supported a custom kernel (according to synergy). "2.6.35.1-gc0a661b htc-kernel@and18-2#1" Tues June 14th.

Have you recalibrated the battery lately?

Yes, everytime i flash. (often).

Do you have wake lock?

Nope

Have you checked for a rouge app causing the drain?

Yep, system panel only shows system eating 2.3 percent, and system processes taking like 1.3%

Are you running the undervolt script?

i didn't think viperboy made one for sense roms/kernels. i used one when i had MiUi at -50

Does your log history show repeated errors?

[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Ok, here are some responses.

What you listed is not a custom kernel; not sure who said it was. That version comes with mikg.

Mikg v2.4 had calk's UV script included; was removed in v2.41 since some people had issues.

Apps like osmonitor have a tab to view the system log.

In phone, type ##3282#. Check if evdo mode = automatic. If not, then that could be your source of 3g issues. Change it to auto, hit menu to commit the change.

Keep in mind that 3g antennas will increase in power to achieve an adequate signal. If settings like this evdo mode causes your phone to select weaker "sprint only" towers, then its conceivable that 3g will consume battery power faster.
