After 4.2, Mik made a statement that from here on, he is going to only being releasing "Themed" versions, as this was his original intent. He only released the "stock" versions to give other devs a baseline to theme from and still have a fast and reliable base for their themes (providing they used the same optimizations that he used)

Hardware: 003

Fully wiped: Calk's "format all" twice; Calk's "clear temp" twice; wipe data/factory reset twice; cache wipe twice; dalvic cache wipe twice; ext wipe twice; battery stats wipe twice.

No change in kernel, stock HTC 15.

It appears to be 4.4 issue. I have tried all of Mik's roms (as well as most others) without problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
That's the weird part..... my awake time is really low. I rebooted and I'm going to try a different charger and see what happens. I dont see any reason it would be something inherent in the Rom..... possibly in the kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Right. I'm aware of that. I was just commenting. Btw thanks for the heads up about the date and time thing. Weird that mikfroyo changed it for me though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gingson:
I had posted the same issue on my previous posts about losing network connections intermittently. I noticed this with the 4.3 with another kernel then I switched to 4.4 betaII with the same kernel and it disappeared. I am using a diff. kernel now but I do not have this problem yet. I thought it was Sprint.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeldanganan:
I tried switching to netarchy's kernel after the stock htc 15 proved buggy. Still the problem persists.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
There's your problem! 3rd wipe is a charm! :p Kidding, sounds like you have tried everything you can that would be ROM/Kernel related. That only leaves new apps. Not to be insulting, really trying to help here, but by any chance did you download anything new under 4.3 that perhaps 4.4 doesn't like? I know some people (myself included) are having an issue with Tapatalk Pro that seems to be java related, or at least didn't appear until 4.4 and I assume Mik-the-Master will get some sleep and figure that one out. You didn't say if you were using stock browser or an after-market one. How about the Market, can you download an entire app from market without loosing the internet connection?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeldanganan:
No worries:). I am using the stock browser. If I remember (since I am now back to 4.3) correctly, I believe the market was fine. My gmail was also acting up with 4.4. The email will arrive. But once I try to open the email, it would force me out.

Does anybody know if Hex Edit Method (lockscreen & notification screen) will work for v4.4? Check out the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801537

Don't use Calk's "format all". It breaks things.

Get the latest Amon RA and flash it and use it to wipe everything.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

P.S., If you have EVER used Calkulins Memory Hack, you MUST reflash the recovery image to clear things out or you will have problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gingson:
Three apps that I lost after a full wipe-Hulu, Ad Free and ESFile Explorer. In my case any of these 3 could have been the culprit. One thing that I have not done yet is update the PRL. I'll leave this alone for awhile. Don't have any issues yet so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Hmm, why does the Format All break things? I haven't heard about this yet, but I guess its good that I did because I've used it several times now....
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
news to me the format all has never failed me
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nygel:
I will like to know also about the "FORMAT ALL" and what all does it have issues with, or the combo of the new RA mon? I will like to know you feedback on this too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Sorry Guys (and Girls if applicable) but I just have to say this:

This is the MikFroyo Thread and when users swap kernels, flash un-tested themes or in any way alter the distributed MikFroyo version, it makes it very difficult to help isolate problems.

Now, we are more than willing to look help in looking into situations, especially if it turns out to be an app or setting that is incompatible with the stock distribution. There are just too many variables in these equations for any of us to be able to solve all problems.

That is why standard troubleshooting techniques should alway be used:

1)1st, do a nandroid backup of where you are at, and then do a backup of all your user apps (using Titanium or others, cuz you may have to delete them)

2)Wipe, Wipe, Wipe everything you can from recovery (well, not battery stats or g-sensor)

3) Install fresh version of ROM with no mods

4) Use only supplied apps to report success/failure (in other words, this is not the forum to say, "Hey, everything was working great until I downloaded app XXX, now that app doesn't work! You need to go to that app's support board or thread)

5) Take every step one step at a time! Make one change, reboot and retest.

6) This is a personal pet peeve, so humor me here: Put your hardware and major software configuration in your signature! At least HW version (look under menu>about phone>Hardware Information for HW version), your recovery version, your current Kernel, and your build number (as reported in menu>about phone>software information) and your SD card info (basic size, formated for apps2sd with ext2, ext3 or ext4 and these partition sizes).

All of this makes it easier to see where we are similar or where our experiences differ and gives us somewhere to begin to look!
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
First off,aamikam thank you for putting out such an excellent rom. Alot of KUDOS to you for all your hard work and being there to offer out help to everyone. You sir have got to have one of the best sense roms out there. The speed of your roms is unbelievable, but the smoothness of the transitions and scrolling is second to none. You are definitely the man with Sense. This is the rom that I am going to flash to my wifes Evo next.
[EVO 4G Android Development] strongsteve:
Why would I have 80 mb less space now? Is it possible that dalvic is on data instead of cache?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
What mitchellvii said!!

Basically guys, if mitchellvi says things are buggy, then there is a 98% chance he is right (I say 98%, cuz I caught him in his one and only wrong statement of the year, and now that that one is over, he is probably right!) and it is based either upon his experience (look at his post history if you doubt that possibility) or the fact that because of his job he is able to spend a lot of time reading up on these issues on this Forum (XDA) and on others.

Now, he will will undoubtedly give you supporting documentation and links/references for why he says Caulkin's wipe causes problems, but for me, if he said it is problematic, then I stay away from it.

Format_All.zip

For everyone having problems with the format all zip, AmonRa had his own format_all.zip via a twitter link that I use all the time. I mean like 5-8 times a day. Yes I am a heavy tester, don't ask. Never once has it caused me any problems. I will put it up as a link if you guys want it.

AmonRa's provided Format_All.Zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
its never messed me up so ill keep using it

but please post that other as well :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeldanganan:
If you read my reply, I followed steps 1-5 (with exception to 6). I only flashed the netarchy's kernel BECAUSE I was having problems with the rom as is. To determine whether it was kernel issue, I flashed netarchy's kernel to no avail.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Definitely interested in this! :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
joeldanganan,

I am sorry if you took that as a personal attack, it was not meant to be one! As I said earlier, you seem to have taken all of the steps to isolate the problem. I was simply try to put something out there to help the newer users isolate their problem and enable those of us who want to be helpful to provide whatever suggestions we can come up with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Gawd he wipes 8 times a day? Does he actually use the phone as a phone? Lol.

Pick a rom and go with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeldanganan:
Noob here about Amon RA and such. Which one do I flash:

IMG (fastboot or flash_image method): recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.2.1.img - MD5Sum: c9a28b8be2c97e5805d530ed991b26fe

post #4609 for the AmonRa format_all.zip

I have never even seen or knew calk had one. This is what I use instead of going to wipe for fresh installs. Easier as it dumps me back into the pick a zip menu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
No I hate talking on the phone. I pick a rom and hack it to death, thus causing massive use of a format all zip. Talking on the phone is so 90's :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeldanganan:
No worries. I did not take it as a personal attack. The medium of writing (as opposed to talking) makes it difficult to determine the tone. Believe me, no hint of animosity when I replied. The purpose of my response was simply that of clarification. Thanks for taking the time to address my issue. As proof, I'll hit you up with "thanks."

I don't know if this has been discussed because i'm on tapatalk, but on mikfroyo 4.3 apps2sd using netarchys less aggressive kernel, sense restarts EVERY time I exit an app. Browser, soundhound, settings, anything.

Assuming you have adb access, I find the following the easiest way:

1)copy the "whatever_recovery.img file you downloaded" file to the root of your sd card

2)adb shell

3)su (probably not needed depending upon what root method you used to get root, if your prompt upon entering adb shell starts with #, then you are already su

4)type this at the adb console # prompt: #flash_image recovery "whatever_recovery.img" (yes, replace ".." stuff with the name of the actual downloaded .img file for the recovery you want to flash)" example would be:

#flash_image recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img (note the spaces between the command, the partition to flash (recovery) and the name of file to flash from, just the file name, the md5 info is for your info only)

5)#reboot recovery

Anyway, that is how I do it.

Hi all, haven't been around for a day and this thread exploded!

2 questions: Has Amikam said when he plans on releasing the white theme?

And is it OK to flash zips that fail the signature verification?

Thanks.

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Gee, at least hit the "Thanks button" !:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
1) No definite time, but "soon"

2) None of Mik's zips should be unsigned, he is very meticulous about that. I personally have only run into "whoever_kernel.zip" (that is I have only seen it on some kernel dev's files) so I would always carefully consider the source of the file before I decide to "toggle signature verification" on someone's zip!

Flashed the 4.4 and boy does this thing scream!

My 1st rooting experience was a couple of weeks ago with Sprint Lover's. I kept reading about MikFroyo, and wanted to try it, but then after reading the 120+ pages in the thread that 4.4 final was going to be released today, I decided to wait last night until the official was released. Everything went well, and everything is working as normal! Phone is very snappy, transistions look great, and overall I am really pleased with 4.4! Ran a quick Quandrant test and scored almost 1200 (best I could get on Sprint Lover's was a little over a 1000).

Thanks for the awesome ROM!!! I'll be sure to send a donation your way...

[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I too was having this problem, uninstalled tapatalk, reinstalled and still had that problem. I uninstalled again and figured it was a java issue. However, I went to the shortcut for SDX that I am a member of (Mik kindly put the bookmark in the default load) and when it reminded me that SDX was a tapatalk friendly site, I let it re-direct me to the market and d/led tapatalk pro (paid) again and it worked! Now I don't know if they updated tapatalk, if the tapatalk servers were having a problem or what, but now TapaTalk is working fine for me again! Go figure.....

Push is an "adb" command. "adb" is "Android-Droid Bridge" for short. If you don't have adb setup, PM me and I can try and walk you through it.

If you can follow the instructions, the basics for downloading and installing adb (you don't need the development environments or anything, just the latest adb release and the usb drivers for your phone) can be found here.

For basic adb functions, which we use most commonly, you only need to follow the first 2 steps.

I've been running 4.3 for about a week now (infact, can anyone give me a reason to spend the energy upgrading to 4.4?), and I love it. flashed detox over it and found me an awesome wallpaper (see my sig) and it's fast as hell and 100% functional.... Thanks, this Rom is seriously making me consider NOT flashing cm7 when it's released...
[EVO 4G Android Development] webguru4life:
It has hulu working and is faster. Your the greatest Mik!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdefran:
Hows the battery life with this rom? Are there mixed results or is it good across the board? Also, any kernel recommendations?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
4.4 final has more optimizations implemented as well as compression alterations which improve the speed even more. Also, if you're using the Detox theme, you've already lost Aamikam's optimizations due to the lack of his framework being used as the base for the theme...
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Yeah, I was seriously considering CM7 when it comes out too, mainly because the bluetooth stack on these HTC phones SUCKS. I wanna hook up my wiimote to my phone for emulators. I dunno if I'm willing to give up what I have right now for that though. I kind of like some of the sense widgets, and this MikFroyo rom flies, so the speed boost of CM is moot. I've been kicking around trying MIUI just out of curiosity. I'll be right back to mik's, but the curiosity is getting the best of me atm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elbacker:
Is there anywhere I could get an apk for Hulu. I just updated to 4.4 final and I don't have Hulu. It worked for me in the betas?

Easier way to do it - in ES file explorer, go to settings and turn on the root access at the bottom. Then just cut or copy and paste from the Removed_Apps folder to /system/app in the root of the phone. Worked like a charm for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Notice to new people:

Ok people, after reading through about 10 pages of "this rom doesn't work for me" comments, let me summarize:

1) This rom WORKS.

2) If it doesn't work for you, you are doing it wrong.

3) If you didn't read and follow the OP (along with all links to other instructions in the OP) and your phone isn't working properly, you have nothing to complain about. Your flash is fail because you are lazy - period.

I have been running 4.4 all day without a single FC, lock-up, meltdown or smoking battery. This is because I read the OP and set the rom up properly.

Struggling with 4.4 sprint apps

I just flashed my very first rom with 4.3 a couple of days ago and it gave me a "sense" that this was all pretty easy. My experience trying to go to 4.4 has not been as smooth. I have done everything I can find on Google/XDA to get Footprints back and still am not able.

I have tried the following:

Wiped everything 3 times using the wipe functions within Clockworkmod, then flashed 4.4 zip - No footprints

Then---bought root explorer so that I could change the permissions on the system/app folder and tried to copy the .apk from sdcard/removed apps to system/app.

Have tried to push to system/app using adb.

Have tried to install using adb - received error saying INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES.

When I flashed 4.3, footprints was included, but I was able to install Sprint TV by simply opening it from Astro in the sdcard/removed apps.

I'm somewhat technical and can follow directions, but I am lost. Should I restore my nand of 4.3 and pull the .apk, upgrade and then try to install again?

Either way, MikFroyo is at least 4 million times faster than my stock sense and I am loving this root experience. Can't believe it took me so long.

Thanks for the help.
