You don't need to take it personal when people suggest to do a full wipe and you choose not to.

With of the myriad of problems people post, and when walked through the problem its determined that something improper was done during install, it won't take long to ask that question first when an issue is reported. That is right in line with asking what recovery was used also.

If you have a different way to install these roms and it works for you, great. And if you get some strange behavior after flashing, I'd expect you to do some initial troubleshooting and try a wipe/ fresh install before reporting the Rom is broken.

Aamikam has said many times that he makes these roms for himself first, and that he is sharing it with all of us. I for one am truly grateful to be able to have the opportunity to run his roms. If he changes only 1 apk and posts a full Rom instead of an update, then so be it. And when he advises to do a full wipe and have a fresh install on every version unless stated otherwise, then is it that crazy to see that advice repeated to others?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dubez:
Done, now......

Do I have to download a app2sd app because i dont see one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Apps2sd is Google's implementation of SD card usage, where apps get placed in a directory called .android_secure. a2sd is a different thing. It allows you to move different fsystem files to different partitions et cetera.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mccurt29:
is there a 3d rosie with widgets yet for this rom & clear status bar & clear rosie????
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dubez:
Cool so should i just leave the phone as is with the partition, or should I get a app to move apps to sdcard?
[EVO 4G Android Development] customhdrider:
Is there a fix for the dark pics?,,seems that the shutter/flash timing are off,,
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kalun47:
If I loaded the ROM and immediately did a factory restore via the menu, it removes almost all the .apk's that was preloaded. Is there any way I can restore only the ones I want? Does Mike store his apk's anywhere we can download individually?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
You can do it manually.

Just unpack the Rom zip or open it in an archive utility (7z), and you will see a folder called "data". In it should be one called "app". Those are the preloaded apks. Just place them on you SD card and install them by clicking on them in astro or es file manager. You can also optionally install via adb install if you have adb set up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Just leave it as is. :-)

There are a couple threads in themikmik and here on xda about the a2sd hack/program. It is called Dark Tremors. Just search around and you will find more information. Personally I do not use any type of partitioning or a2sd method. I find that I have enough room in my internal memory for my market apps. I also find them to function better from the internal, but that is only my observation.
[EVO 4G Android Development] j0ckinjz:
MikG... better than synergy ;)

Seriously tho, I think this rom is more stable and like it better. Why fix something that's not broken?
[EVO 4G Android Development] symphonix:
I'll tell you what though, I was using 0.5 version up until a few days ago and it didn't start doing it on 0.5 up until last week. I updated to 2.15 and it still does that. It's not a big deal, just wish it said 1/2, 2/2...Without all the zeros.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I'm a tad late to this conversation, but I just checked and I do see 1/2, 2/2, etc. And just to clarify, I'm using the stock messaging app, contacts only thru Google (no facebook), and I restored old text messages by using the function built into the app itself.

Edit: I'm running v2.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adamantypants:
Yeah I thought about switching to Synergy because I simply adored Myn's roms. But so far MikG is perfect for me and I KNOW it works and is stable and gets better with every incremental release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mothmansound:
This rom is great. There a few little niggles but better than any OTA I've used.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leon sprouse:
I have a theme that was made specially to my wishes. I really hate to bother the maker for an update ,I'm afraid if I keep after him I will piss him off . I'm sure he is real busy making the changes in the original theme. It was him who told me how to get the camera working and keep both the theme and 2.2.

Sense 3.0

While in Walmart I got my hands on the Sensation and noticed that it has sense 3.0. I know that this phone is configured for T-Mobile gsm and not cdma like Sprint uses. What I am wondering is it possible to transfer this 3.0 from this phone to a cdma phone like my EVO?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
Yes, that's what a port is. Virus ported the My Touch 4G Rom to the Evo, it is GSM also
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
The thing about these ports from other carriers is we will most likely never get 4g working on them.

We are super lucky that the little brother Evo shift got sense 2.1 update. :-)

So do you partition your card and just leave it at ext2 or do you you not partition? I'm asking because since I've partitioned, now multiple times, I get nothing but system reboots on the gingerbread toms. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] ccaudio1:
copy your files on the SD card to your pc then reformat your SD card. (i used my pc for that)

then repartition using Amon RA. do ext2 the up it to ext3

[EVO 4G Android Development] roadkingg:
Quick question everyone. As a user of this ROM do most of you leave GPS on all of the time or just when being used? Is GPS only "on" if turned on when an app is using it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] leon sprouse:
HTC, FYI

A few years ago I got my first HTC phone. It was a free gift from HTC sent to me from China. It was the TYTN II. The people at HTC and tech support from T-Mobile configered the phone to work in the USA. I received a call from a VP of HTC to see if I was happy. I had just joined XDA and told her about it and I said they seem to really know there stuff at XDA. She replied " every day we have a engineer checking XDA for their work on our phones " Do you think Mik is in their hall of fame?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chrisfales:
I leave mine off unless I need. That way I'm sure it's not "on" unless I want it on. Easy toggle. To your second question, no idea.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mexlos:
I'm pretty sure even if you have GPS turned on, it doesn't use battery unless the icon is animated in the taskbar, which means it's being used.

I leave mine on at all times.

However if you're using phone finder or foursquare or weather or any other app or service that may be configured to periodically check your location, you might take a battery hit.

Just gotta get to know your EVO and learn what it's doing when you're not looking ;-)

Wireless N

Hello,

I have MikG-v2.2 on my EVO 4G hardware 003.

I get 65 Mbps in my home wifi with MikG and CM7 but only 54 Mbps with any 4.24.651.1 based rom.

People say wireless N is device & kernel enabled, EVO 4G is a device with N enabled so MikG kernel should be N enable too like SZ kernel I used on CM7, I'm right?

Some advice to improvement MikG wireless N speed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neo3D:
from what i've been seeing, battery life sucks :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neo3D:
same here, this ROM looks nice but its battery life performance is piss poor! :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] andygu3:
Battery life is just fine here, no significant battery drain other than the initial 3-5% drop after taking off the charger.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kudzus:
Not really sure what’s going on with some peoples battery problems.

I did a fresh install using RA and wiping everything. I did not restore any data, just reinstalled my apps.

I’m enjoying the best battery performance I’ve ever had.

I leave 3g and gps on all the time.

When fully charged I can remove from the charger and go to bed, when I wake up I still have 97 to 98%.

The phone sleeps like a baby.

Battery life is great for me and my wife. Battery life is all relative, imo. What's your idea of piss poor?

Have you calibrated your battery? How long you been running the Rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stagnant:
Battery life for me has been just fine. Honestly not really better or worse than any other ROM. I can work all day on the phone and text/email and I do have to charge at night, but that is to be expected on this phone.

Ok guys I'm on MikG v2.1 working flawlessly, and looking even better with an AWESOME theme. I haven't see a good reason to update, but was curious about the Sense 3.0 camera.

What are the differences between that one, and the one on MikG 2.1, and is it worth the update?

My second question is, if it is worth the update, can I just get an apk of the Sense 3.0 Camera and have it work fine?

Thanks in advance guys

How do i stop text reflow in the stock browser. I put a check mark next to pause text reflow in the browser settings. it does not seem to do anything. am i missing something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mswlogo:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik. Don't wipe data.

Nand Backup.

Flash latest over.

A few of us have and not had any issues.

The updates since 2.1 are pretty small.

Also if camera causes reboots on you try shutting off GeoTagging and reboot (this applies to all 2.x realeases).

I forget which camera 2.1 had. But last update added one more effect. Read MikG Change Log.

[EVO 4G Android Development] the_plattypus:
Don't know why your bashing the ROM for poor battery use. The ROM works just fine, maybe it is your phone (calibration, Batt Stats) or simply user error. Maybe you forgot to turn off the keep awake again. Maybe you did this while in the process of a Batt cal? Maybe you should let the ROM ride a couple of days on tour phone to settle in. Or maybe you just continue to blame the ROM with the stock kernel that everyone knows comes as a not-so-optimized-to-run-on-any-phone-without-a-3500mAh-Batt. Or you just use your EVO3d phone that I'm pretty sure is pretty crappy on the battery also.

No need to bash the ROM, especially not two posts in a row.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I don't understand posts like this. People here will try to help you achieve as good battery life as possible with the stock kernel, but why drop in to say it sucks and peace out? :confused:

If anyone is noticing an increase drain on 3g as compared to wifi, try these things:

- update profile

- check espt > evdo > mode = automatic

CDMA will up the radio antenna voltage when it has a weak signal to try to strengthen the reception. It will stay at max voltage until the signal is stronger. Be sure to check your setting and update profile to help avoid this from unnecessarily occurring.

13hrs to me is pretty bad, I used to be on Myn's (the good ol one he released in jan'11) and used to getting 30-36hrs (that's with all the radios on & auto brightness), but I wanted to update to GB and newer Sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] agentphantom:
I understand what you are saying but do you not have access to a charger in those 13 hours? I would take a wild guess and assume that many of us do, but until htc releases the kernel code, there's very little that we can do other than a tweak here or a tweak there. That's part of playing the game.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neo3D:
It's not bashing the ROM, it's my experience with the ROM. If it's a great experience (and visually it's great), then I'll say that it's a great experience, but if it's bad (battery wise, it's been suckin so far), then I'll say that it's bad. That's not bashing, it's just reporting the TRUTH. And it was just a "virgin" setup. I spent the day w/family and didn't have time to install any apps today.

I unplugged it at 7:30ish am and by 5pm it was giving me low battery warning.

I just did a full EVERYTHING wipe (including SD card) and reinstalled it tonight. Gonna let it charge up again overnight and hope the battery issue is fixed tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neo3D:
I said it sucks cuz it does suck in my experience so far. I couldn't figure what was wrong. It had only 1% time w/o signal. It had no problem going into sleep mode cuz when I installed CPU Spy, it showed 48% 384Mhz mode & 45% deep sleep mode. It didn't spend the whole day searching for a 4G signal. I dunno what's wrong so I just wiped everything again and reinstalled it. And yes, I updated the kernel and radios as well w/the ones recommended.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neo3D:
When I'm working I do, but today I was out all day with family.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
The phone should sleep at 245Mhz; 384 is not a native frequency for an ondemand governor, so I'm not sure how you got report from cpuspy.

Second, there isn't any kernel to update to yet. Which kernel did you flash after installing the Rom?

I have a feeling that you done things post install that might not be helping the battery life.

[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Sorry, I haven't nailed that one down. If someone did, please chime in.

I got my first reboot from the camera app today after playing around with ISO and flash. I'm going to shorten the review time or turn it off completely and see if it repeats over time.

People have mentioned turning off geotag helps stability also. We all just need to remember that Mik is trying to shoe-horn the 3.0 camera to integrate with our EVO. While we get to enjoy the benefits of sweet new effects, there's probably going to be some random issues from time to time until they are ironed out, if possible.

These were the steps I used to install:

flashed kernel (the one recommended on pg 1)

flashed radios (the one recommended on pg1) then rebooted

flashed ROM (v2.2)

I unplugged it this morning at "100%" and then waited for the true capacity to show up, 96%, then plugged it back in to bump it back up to 100%. I just unplugged it again and hope it will work better today. I doubt I'll install anything further today cuz it's the 4th. Thanks and enjoy your 4th! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
Neo, one thing to keep in mind that I've run across is after installing radios some times you need to reinstall the kernel....I've run in to issues with this in the past.

However, in your situation the ROM includes the latest kernel so it would have been re-installed when you flashed the ROM.

-Pebble Beach Bum
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
@Neo3D

Just fyi, you overwrote the kernel you flashed by flashing the ROM over it.

It's no biggie because I think that its the same kernel that comes with the ROM.

So no problems.... just wanted to let you know.
