So there seems to be different suggestions on what to do with deleting files in the initd folder.what's the final say on this when running mikg2.42 and litchids a.06 kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
Hey mik, would like your permission to post a theme that I made and tested on your 2.42 rom.

Screenshot using SDK

For whoever was looking for a way to do screenshots (I'm too lazy to go back and find the original poster, sorry.), there is a way to do screenshots if you have the Android SDK Installed on your PC. (Which I'm assuming you do, if you are rooted and are installing custom roms.)

The information can be found here

I am no way affiliated with that site. I just found it useful, and hope someone else will, too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hypeo:
if your just trying to do screenshots and your rooted, why not just download Shootme from the android market?

you can just transfer the pics to your computer if you need too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Is there differing opinions? Point is those 3 cpu scripts were written and designed for a stock kernel. Whether it will hurt/hinder you depends on your personal setup, but you will not gain any benefit from those scripts.

Personally, I use interactiveX with 245-1152. Even if I need to run a screen-off profile, I can make a script to do that and to make these governor/frequency settings. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to write this script now to remove the overhead that setcpu presents. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
That's a pretty cool font you found. You should also post your theme over at mikmik.
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
I found this on earlier and it works great on the evo. It has alot of custom settings too.

Thanks coiled, it is called Black Chancery Bold. It is one of the fonts in the UOT kitchen. Yeah I just noticed a couple of little things I have to change that somehow slipped through. Like the word Sprint is not suppose to be there and the 3G icon isn't changing color like it is suppose to. Going to change the font to cause it looks nice but hard to read if there is allot of words.

I've used drocap from day one. Any value to switch?

I havent used used that app. I just like that you can take a screenshot by long pressing the search button and you can set it to auto close the app after.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Coiled,

I deleted those files from init.d and on reboot my phone froze at the lock screen and showed no battery info in the status bar (had a red circle with an exclamation mark in it our something like that). I had to re-flash the rom and then the kernel to get back to normal.

I was one of those who did not have errors from those scripts on the stock kernel for whatever that's worth...but I cannot for the life off me figure out why my phone did that with those files removed.

[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
KC, just the CPU scripts were removed? I had some similar issues when I tried to make a script to set my setcpu governor and frequency values. I still need to retool my script. But your behavior is totally unexpected. Well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. ;) For me, those scripts reset my governor during rebooting, so off they went.

[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
I made double sure that I was removing the correct scripts by doing it again...same result. I'm lost. I keep checking the system logs for errors but nothing. Weird

Heh funny to find you here coiled. I just flashed this to my wifes phone cause her phone, for whatever reason, doesnt play nicely with synergy. Im actually thinking of reflashing my phone to this to now, because keeping up with the latest on one rom instead of two is ... easier. :P Anyways glad to see youre helping people with this as much as you were with koni's rom, your insight and tips are always appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Hey mike! I try my best. I respect koni, so helping was the least I could do. Hope he is doing well with life.

You should find plenty of help here, and even in myn's thread. But you're right, its definitely easier to keep track of only one. If you have any questions or requests, don't hesitate to post here or at mikmik. Have fun. :)

v2.45:

Updated market apps

Added more cool toggles to quicksettings (reboot menu, airplane mode, each media vol is available, flashlight turns on, etc.) Huge thanks to Skyraider rom for the permission to use his work, i just ported some of his features that i liked into my systemui.

Fixed Mms compression issue that popped up in 2.42

Voice search issue should be gone (some had it.. some didnt... i hope all will have it working right now)

Added the streaming fix to be applied on 1st boot (the ports to 0 etc.)

FULL WIPE is highly recommanded... unless u came from 2.42... then u might get away with it.

i would like to add something here that i will add in the OP also... ihtfp69 (skyraider) gave me and chingy special perms to use his work... with that said...

NO ONE SHOULD USE THE SYSTEMUI.APK THAT IS USED IN THIS ROM WITHOUT SEEKING PERMISSION FROM ihtfp69 (SkyRaider's ROM MAKER)!!!

this ofcourse does not apply to the MikRoms Family (meaning that if u guys work with me and are on themikmik site... feel free to use it)

rom is uploading btw...

Ok running 2.45 with lithids v06 kernel and so far so good. Thanks mik and thanks cm for the volume tweaks! We are rockin' now!

(edit)-when I click the volume icon in quick settings are we suppose to get another window to open and show the additional tweaks? Cause I did that in quick settings and nothing came up. Even though I was on 2.42 I did a full and complete wipe. (data/factory reset-cache-dalvik/cache-and viper wipe)

[EVO 4G Android Development] dajoip:
I've been out of the loop for several weeks now and just came back to find the updates to MikG, but also noticed quite a bit of talk of new kernels and the kernel source having been released. When did this happen? This is great news, and something that I was unaware of until now. I'm curious if there's a condensed source anywhere to educate myself on what's already available, and what's being worked on, in terms of different GB kernels.

Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
First, the latest MikG is outstanding...well worth updating. Second, HTC released the kernel code a couple of weeks back. Two devs (netarcy and lithid) have custom kernel's out now with lithid's being the best IMHO. He has been much more supportive of the kernel, both in terms of responsive to the thread and in putting out new releases/enhancements. Here's the link to his thread. Read thru it to familiarize yourself w/ some of the going's on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dajoip:
Thanks a bunch!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
OK, I know I shouldn't go here, because 1) I LOVE my Evo running MikG, 2) I've had 5 HTC devices and loved them all and 3) I don't really care for my wife's Epic 4G....but this phone, which is reportedly being released by Sprint as the Epic 4G Touch (Touch meaning no hardware keyboard), looks freakin amazing. Samsung has ditched the RFS file system and moved to the more traditional ext like the rest of the Android world uses. They ship w/ unlocked bootloaders (hell, Samsung donated a Galaxy S2 to cyanogen) for easier modding. And the got rid of the PenTile screens. Yes, no Sense, which is a drawback, and yes, TouchWiz is a bit weird. Still looks to be a kicka$$ phone.

I have 3 phone contracts up before the end of this year. What to do, what to do. Not really asking for opinions here...understand that they'll run the gamit of Hell no to Hell yes. More just thinking out loud. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] majorhunadadun:
Well sir I share your feelings and I will probably be getting this phone myself! I'm not sure if I'll be able to give up Sense though... The best android experience hands down! I'm willing to give TW 4.0 a shot though.

What's nice about it? I've been curious, haven't tried it yet. I like AR so didn't see a need to switch.

What's different/better/etc?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
It's not a night and day thing really. Just some small things here and there. It seems like it's a little quicker, especially wiping Dalvik. In the Flash Zip menu is an option to wipe cache/dalvik, negating the need to go to the wipe menu first, then the flash menu. There are some settings you can save along the way too (default zip folder for example). You can change color schemes (dumb, I know...but kind of cool still).

Again, nothing earth shaking, but some nice things.

EDIT: forgot my favorite thing...compression while backing up. Takes longer, but saves a decent amount of space.

I hear ya. I think most of the problems w/ today's sammys are from the RFS file system. Rooted the wife's and converted to ext and it's been pretty good ever since. On the processor issue, agree. If it doesnt come w/ the exynos (sp) processor it's not worth it.

MMS Compression Issue

The MMS compression issue that is being brought up happens when you're sending a Picture or other MMS message. It will attach your image just fine. But when you look at the image details you'll see it's quite smaller than the original size. As a carrier this is good, as a user, probably not as good. I haven't confirmed it on 2.45 yet ... I'm testing it now. I will post screenshots in a couple mins to better explain.

MMS Compression Comparison Screenshots

Ok here's an example of the MMS compression issue:

Picture 1 is the original, from my DCIM folder on my SD Card.

Picture 2 is the image attached to an outgoing MMS message.

Look at the image size. You'll see the variation.

This is from MikG 2.42
[EVO 4G Android Development] locoboi187:
That size is fine with me. No need to send a picture bigger than the recipient's screen size. All of my friends see the images crystal clear
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i double checked the compression issue with 2.45 and i did full wipe...

just a quick fyi btw... images normally compress a lot more then from 2mb to 200k... i checked with an 1.1mb image... and it was sent as 1.1mb.

again... 2.45 with full wipe and as always NEVER restore old data.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmonsterf50:

yes it is sent as 1.1mb but who ever recieves it doesnt come in as 1.1 but 200kb and yes i would love to get the full 1.1 mb cuz i receive pics from my son who lives in ny and is not crystal clear. its like driving a ferrari with a 4 cylinder 2.0 liter engine. evo 4g taking good 8 mega pixels quality pictures and send it out not even reaching 1mb. i also did a full wipe and no i dont restore any data at all. but i really appreciate the rom. i like it alot. i have to go back to 2.2 though cuz thats the only rm that doesnt compress the pic.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dominicanodcora:
2.45 does the same. no different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmonsterf50:
Ok, this is what I can confirm ...

Flashed 2.45, took the same image and sent it to myself. In my outgoing message it shows to be 1.1MB. However when I received the image, its showing to be 37.27KB and is much smaller.

So I agree with Mik that the Outgoing compression issue is fixed. However I agree with you as well, that the receiving end gets a compressed smaller image for some reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
The sprint servers automatically compress images to prevent complete and utter clogging.
