V4 vs MikG 1.03

Anyone here compare Ginger Ale vs Mikg?

I have used some version of both and both are very similar. I am wondering which one handles the camera and 720p video better.

I know Ava increased the bit rate (said in OP) of 720 but I am wondering by how much and if this was also done in MikG 1.03.

MikG also seems to have several developers involved which seems like they might have more support and time to fix issues and come up with cool things but Ava actually does read his emails and even responds to them, which is cool.

Thoughts?

Anyone experiencing interruptions with streaming music applications? I consistently have both SIRIUS XM and Pandora pretty much stop playing music, but when I go back to the application it's almost as if it's restarting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Puma81:
Did you wipe cache and dev?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nolig2278:
I have noticed the samething and it is not just this rom, but has been with the same new kernel and radios, such as on mikg.

4g went down in Miami last monday until I updated the radios and it would not allow 3g to work unless 4g was turned off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bombsquad450r:
Is there a specific section I should be looking in, the search on the xda app is horrendous. I've been searching and searching with no luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
OK on the new radio, but my version of Rom Manager put clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 on my phone. How do I revert back to the older version before flashing a radio? And what good is clockworkmod if it doesn't flash correctly? Why isn't it being fixed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evil Bob:
1) Bottom option in ROM Manager list is to flash other versions of Clockwork Recovery, select 2.5.0.7.

2) Reboot into Recovery.

3) Flash combo radio.

4) Profit!

There is a fix, it just hasn't been published yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evil Bob:
Yeah, that's why I didn't have a ready link for you. I'll see about pulling the required system files for the ROM and cooking one up in the kitchen once I get home tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bombsquad450r:
Thanks, I was trying to use the kitchen on my phone but it wasn't liking that. And I'm not home until ~7pm PST so that would be awesome lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
You ARE "THE" man! Thanks. I didn't see that option at the bottom. I guess I got lazy after I saw which version I was running! LOL Should have looked around more...I bad!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitalis:
Has anybody had any luck sending out mms messages? When I try sending out one, the 3G icons never light up and the message eventually time out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Estimated Prophet:
I did a nandroid backup, wiped cache, dalvik cache, and data and then flashed the ROM and the new radio, wimax, pri, and nv.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitalis:
I just checked the MMS settings and I noticed they were blank! That explains why I can't send out or receive... Are anybody else's MMS settings blank?

To check, go to Messages -> Settings -> Multimedia Messages (MMS) -> Connection settings
[EVO 4G Android Development] wudstock54:
Mine were fine and working. Good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitalis:
You running v3 or v4 of the ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
I tried both roms on my EVO 4G and are almost the same. I use GoLauncherEx and I put exactly same configuration, apps, etc for both roms. I tried MikG first, then I backup, restored Ginger-AleV3 and updated it to V4. Both roms have latest kernel, good speed, excellent battery life, etc, just some details are better in Ginger-AleV4 for me, boot animation and other small things. I vote for Ginger.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hellcatt:
yes i just discovered that myself. what are the settings supposed to be?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitalis:
I believe these are the intended MMS settings:

Name: Production

MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com

MMS proxy and port: Not set

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

Yet even punching in these values nothing happens.... I think this was an oversight by Ava.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
I'm running V3 and this is what my phone shows

Name: Production

MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com

MMS Proxy: 68.28.31.7

MMS port: 80

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evil Bob:
Here are four different flavors of the 1% battery mod that I cooked up in the UOT Kitchen using Ava's GingerAleV4 framework files (HTC Sense 2.1)

Jpgs show an example of what the end result will be, flash like you would any ROM through recovery to install.

Enjoy!

Edit: duh... just noticed I misnamed the segmented circle file as just "segmented", sorry about that. Vertical battery is fixed and reattached.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pbgreat1:
+1 on the MMS issue...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bombsquad450r:
You are the greatest! Thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
Oh, Oh... guess I'd better not jump into v4 until a few more problems are solved. My v3 is working fine except for the novatech screen problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blatadude:
odexed or deodexed

is this rom odexed or deodexed?

i wanted to know because i wanted to flash the hotspot fix for gb and it is only for deodexed roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evil Bob:
Deodexed only.

PG06100

Just flashed V4. I can't get Netflix to load it says I need an upgrade, but when I try the market the app isn't available. I was checking my software/hardware versions and my phone is getting recognized as the Evo Shift PG06100. I think this is why it won't load correctly. Also I am having problems with Swype FC'ing on me as well...

...any ideas. I really like the 2.1 sense, but no Swype or Netflix and I might just have to nandroid back to Deck's 2.3.4.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Andoomo:
Ugh!

Wiped > flashed z4 > input to swype = fc

Rewiped > flashed z4 > input to swype = fc

Mms not working

Back to Z3
[EVO 4G Android Development] badman81:
mms still not working tried the settings posted earlier still no go.

Damn and i really liked this ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] hellcatt:
well thats just great. care to elaborate on what your problems were and what fixed them in case any of us have the same problems and could use the same solution?

well i just tried another rom and had even worse issues so im gonna nand back to V3 here for now
[EVO 4G Android Development] on1wheel:
will matted blues work with this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evil Bob:
For Swype, the installed version is broken, downgrade to a previous version and it works fine.

MMS needs the proxy values correctly set or it won't work, info posted a page back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blatadude:
Thx for quick reply :)

~sent from that thing over there
[EVO 4G Android Development] Newbie_from_NJ:
The one issue i've noticed so far (don't know if anyone already reported this - not reading 90 pages)

is that V4 is extremely sluggish while USB is plugged in!! Holy $h!t, I almost removed this ROM, that how bad it gets.

I always flash all ROMs with constant power (USB) to my laptop. So obviously, my 1st V4 boot and configuration of it was also done with the USB cable plugged in.

A quick trip to the bathroom made me realise what the issue was. Came back from bathroom plugged the cable again - Sluggishness is back. Remove cable and here comes Speed Racer again. lol

Anyone else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] robbyyyyyyy:
netflix is just broken in general for the evo because of the recent 2.3 update. They have said they are working on a fix yo
[EVO 4G Android Development] Newbie_from_NJ:
Same here. I went to the MMS setting, attached is what I get. When I click on each individual category - they're all blank.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting pretty tired of these half-baked ROMS claiming they are ready for prime-time when they aren't... I love netflix, but hadn't checked all my apps since upgrading to gingeralev3... well I just checked netflix and yep, it's broke. I'm going back to Fresh 3.5.0.1. Everything worked. To heck with gingerbread for the next several months while everyone gets it working! Gingerbread (none of the GB ROMS including the factory OTA) is ready for prime-time yet. It's way too broken.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Newbie_from_NJ:
A quick restore of your Nandroid back up will have you running back in a few minutes. Don't get bent out of shape about it. It's what we do... we test & the Devs fix. You've been here a year already. You should know it's SOP! (standard operating procedure) :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
Yes, I know... I'm just frustrated. I found a ROM I loved the looks of, the way everything ran (visually... eye candy) and find out that it's not ready for the masses yet. NOt gingerale's fault... gingerbread's fault. Not blaming anyone except the developers of GB for not getting with the developers to make sure everything works with it. I hate finding out that one of my seldom used, but important apps don't work. I had tried CM7 and hated the GB experience. But, alas, decided to try one more time, and was very pleased with GingerAle until v4 came out and there are multiple problems with it (like MMS), but I really wanted to fix my Novatech screen brightness. Well, like I said, as much as I hate giving up the eye candy, I need things to work... Fresh worked until he went to GB also. GB is just not ready for ME yet. But for the guys that hang in there and put up with the problems until they get fixed... GOD BLESS YOU!
[EVO 4G Android Development] hellcatt:
holy crap what did everyone do before netflix? i imagine the same as i do now, put a movie or 2 on the sd card and watch what you want no matter the signal.

some people seem to not even care if they can make a phone call as long as netflix works lol

everyone relax netflix will be fixed and working fine soon im sure. then we can all find something else to be mad about
[EVO 4G Android Development] MTKnife:
I don't have an earlier version, but it works if I reinstall it using Titanium Backup--but I have to do it every time I reboot the phone.

I've also noticed that in this and an earlier version, OpenSignal Maps FC's when it tries to load its widget on boot--but the app itself and the widget work normally if I open the app manually after that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
CRYBABY, hey make your own or quit using custom roms. You like having better than HTC/sprint gave us? Then deal with the minor sh1t.

Netflix is NOT working with GB yet unless you're on aosp. Dont call this shi1t half-baked! Ava, is one of the best! Hell, i Dont even use his roms, but i DO know that He's one of the best.

Maybe if people like you continue to whine, all our great devs will quit. That'd be cool, huh?

If it's a known issue, ....stop reporting it. It is NOT an issue with avas rom. The issue is with netflix...go whine there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
I bestow upon you your second 'thanks.'. I agree completely. Everyone needs to chill. Netflix is in the process of fixing compatibility for the Evo, and surely it will be fixed soon. Netflix has only been available on the Evo for a month or two anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evolutionmods:
I have a mod out for this Rom that changes the battery to 1% usage and charge. I won't post on here without ops permission but you can search my threads and find it . It will be evolutionmods-ginger-ale-v4 .zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] Amd4life:
my favorite ROM, but my mms is borked too, even with the posted settings a few pages back, no go on MMS

everything is perfect ( I dont use netflix, the hulu app works great though)
[EVO 4G Android Development] SpyderPalo:
You Are an Ungrateful Jerk!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
Eat me... you're not even using the ROM, SO STAY THE HELL OFF THIS SITE... YOU AREN'T DOING ANY GOOD AT ALL!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
what's the matter, can't stand criticism? Crybaby
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
before that we had an iphone and had netflix. It's a service i pay for, not free junk like hulu. (now some crybaby will say,"then go back to iphone" because that's the only comeback they can think of)
[EVO 4G Android Development] pbgreat1:
+1 on this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bmsmith80:
Everything seems to be working fine. I had trouble with Hulu (because I flashed from v3?) but I found an apk after a scavenger hunt and got it working.

When I select phone it doesn't show my call history unless I tap a button (number) and then backspace (delete). Anyone else seeing this? I am running Launcher Pro and don't remember if it happened or not without it. I deleted Sense for now but I backed it up so I supposed I can try it later if no one has an answer.

Also, the lockscreen is so legit. Is there a way to add the apps to it like on the Evo 3D?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SprintFun:
Netflix is broken on all Evos running Gingerbread - its a Netflix issue not a ROM issue. So untwist your panties and step away from the ledge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SprintFun:
Anybody have any good theme recommendations?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bombsquad450r:
Anyone figure out a fix for the mms? I tried both of the settings posted a few pages back and no dice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitalis:
Putting in the MMS settings will not fix the issue. I've tried this several times... Also I'm not sure if I'm the only one here, but when entering in the MMS settings, I kept getting Force Close errors saying the Mms.apk had to close, yet when I reopened the program, it still saved the settings I entered in.

In the meantime, I've Flashed to MikMik's v1.03 ROM (yes MMS works)

This something Ava will have to fix when he has a chance. He's aware of the issue, I messaged him yesterday and he said he'll look it when he has a chance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
I was able to send a pic this morning but I cant receive.
[EVO 4G Android Development] daedelush:
netflix was working for me using this rom on v3. now its not with this v4. not a big deal. not sure why mine was different, but i promise it was working. i love this rom and all... only thing for me is that the stock HTC clock widget is missing from this new update. anyone report different? just me? thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] hellcatt:
For whatever you pay a months for Netflix I'm sure you paid the same amount before there was ever an app for it. If nwtflicks is all you care about I can tell you it works on the archos 32 just fine and no cell service to pay for. Why don't you just aquifer the movies you want in the format you need and watch them that way, best part is if you drop signal the movie keeps going.

[EVO 4G Android Development] pbtxit:
I am getting horrible battery life with v4, I have upgraded the radios and turned off all sync (email,gmail,htc sense, weather, stocks) and if I do anything on the phone at all the battery drops rapidly. I am running the brightness as low as I can stand it but nothing helps. The battery use page show Display 68% and time on 8 minutes 56 seconds. I feel like it has something to do with the display because I can turn off all radios and just do something simple like change the wallpaper and it will drop 5%. I can run the battery completly down in about 30 minutes of usage even with the radios off. Please help, I really like this rom and I know everyone else must be getting better battery use than me. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bombsquad450r:
Did you wipe everything before flashing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pbtxit:
Thanks for the reply! I wiped all data/factory reset , wiped cache, wiped dalvik. I'm not sure if that is what you mean by wipe, I will try anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bombsquad450r:
Yeah I'm not the greatest with this troubleshooting stuff, I just asked the most obvious thing. I'm not sure if this will do anything but maybe wipe the battery stats, either with battery monitor widget or your recovery of choice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bauerpower:
browser issues...

I have not flashed V4, but the browser was FC'ing in every other version. Can someone confirm that that is fixed??
[EVO 4G Android Development] pbtxit:
I have not had any FC with the browser in V4, as I did with previous versions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitalis:
Have you flashed your radios to the newest versions? I highly recommend you do if you intend to use a Gingerbread rom.

Normally the case with any ROM when you've just flashed it with a new kernel is to wait it out a few days... It takes time for the kernel to stabilize itself. Also it probably wouldn't be a bad idea when flashing a new ROM to wipe your battery through Recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
I have a great battery life with v4 but I am using SetCPU, maybe this is the difference. This is the configuration I am using:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitalis:
Take this with a grain of salt, but I don't believe the HTC Gingerbread kernel works with SetCPU.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evil Bob:
As long as aaanadie is up to date with SetCPU, they're fine. Check the SetCPU changelog here: http://www.setcpu.com/#11

Michael Huang is on top of his game and up to date with SetCPU, he's even got Tegra 2 support in it for the tablets. Current version is 2.1.4.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
I did not say "maybe". I have Ginger-AleV4 with SetCPU latest version running on my EVO 4G, and EVERTHING working perfect, stable, no FCs. If you do not believe it, not my problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] touchjon:
i keep having problems with the broswer. ava 3 it would just close when i would click on anything flash. And v4 it closes on google website, not the mobile but full. And it doesnt force close it just closes
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
If the problem is Flash, maybe you can fix it using Titanium Backup. Go to Titanium, wipe data of Flash. If still the problem, uninstall Flash and get it again from Market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nolig2278:
How did you overclock, the stock kernel does not allow this?

also it seems I do not have the powersave or interactive options.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] tvonlinetv:
Need help no notification bar or power bar/ time clock... Anyone experience this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] touchjon:
It's not flash because the regular Google site closes the browser and there is no flash on that
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mercury133:
Just throwing this out here but in the previous releases I've never had browser fc issues. In v4, I did experience them...I did two things to rectify that, uninstalled flash, and reinstalled from the market, and in browser settings, I changed flash from always on, to on demand...Its been working perfectly ever since. Every once in a while my phone will go a little screwy and the lock screen wont move when I touch it, but simply off and on fixes that. (Not a full restart, but it seems there is a problem that gb roms have differentiating between awake/sleep mode) Anyway, Ava...you rock!! I hope you enjoyed your trip buddy. Thanks for all of your hard work, very very very very much appreciated!

You are right. I had this values saved from CM7. In Ginger-AleV4 I SetCPU changed automatically all to ondemand, so I have same numbers but governorns ondemand and performance only, but still working very well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] garyr2548:
Just asking if anyone has had any luck with the mms settings. I went back a few pages and tried the setting listed and verified it was the same as my v3 number and they were alike. I checked the last few pages and didn't see an update. Thanks in advance.

Anyone else experience this issue? No reception indicator, clock , battery... The top portion of the screen doesn't have anything..

I'm using this ROM which is great ,but I Can't send or receive multimedia messages. What do I do ??
[EVO 4G Android Development] NCspecV81:
I also can't send or receive multimedia messages and netflix is not working. =o(

I moved over from cyanogenmod b/c of the gps issues. I probably won't go back to cyanogenmod now because I'm fairly irrate gps hasn't worked reliably in so long. So I'm extremely grateful GPS works without a hitch on this as it's more important to me than both of the two problems I've encountered. But! it would be nice if those two things worked.

OH YEAH! I forgot to mention that swype force closes and doesn't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
I didn't realize Ginger-AleV4 have faster sdcard handle. I did not find another rom doing that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Andoomo:
Everyone is having the same problem with mms, also with Swype forceclosing. Revert back to Z3 and wait till Ava comes back from vacation.

[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
And this is where I step in. You are clearly too ****ing new to be talking **** there speed racer (sweet avatar btw "Lon") so stfu and take a step back. I highly recommend you update to the new GB release using ota update. ;)

Also, keep using clockwork recovery, its tooootaly reliable and everyone who knows what they're doing swears by it.

Seriously though, you're a douchebag and have nothing to add to the community. Go find another Rom. CM7 would be a great fit for a Guy like you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
I had the mms problem as well I tried miks 1.03 rom which is a great rom. And someone posted in there that titanium backup is causing errors. I used mybackup root from the market to back up my apps and data and reflashed the rom. Now my mms and everything else works fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tvonlinetv:
Yes I did still no solution ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
Yes, I missed VaelPak. I tried 3.2 and was very nice, I going to try 4 right now.

Update: VaelPak-AOSP-GB-Preview-v0.2 is a very good rom, but I still preferring GingerAleV4.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
Sadly, I have to agree. Jim's got some work to do before its ready for primetime. Now that the official release is out, he can start tearing out the bits of sense that make it one of a kind, but until the bugs get worked out, I'm flashing back to GA.

GingerAleV4 as PC36IMG.zip

Hello,

I flashed a lot of roms on my EVO 4G and I think best rom is GingerAleV4 right now 60/12/2011.

GingerAleV4 is a Sense rom and I did not find any bug on it, so can be used for phone repair tasks like Sprint Lovers rom. I am not an Android expert but I think Avalaunchmods can make a PC36IMG.zip with GingerAleV4 including radio, etc.

Thanks
