Not sure if MikFroyo is in ROM manager by the way....don't use it myself.. just download the ROM from Post#1 to the root of your sd card. Run a nandroid backup first, then return to Recovery menu and flash the zip and you should be good to go!

On a side note, welcome to the MikFroyo world of phone flashing...and "hold on boys, this is going to be a bumpy ride!"...it's like a drug dealer...the first one is free, but the rest are going to cause you endless lost sleep in the wee hours of the morning!

Great ROM. Extremely fast with stock kernel [which is impressive compared to a lot of roms out there]. I didnt dig the notification bar and its icons so i flashed myns transparent notification bar. Makes it look very sharp ............i give mikfroyo 9.9/10

Its not that the iPhone is any "easier" with jailbreaking and unlocking, its that the users of iPhones have been pampered with picture tutorials on the whole process with sites like iClarified. I remember back in the day with my original iPhone, not even thinking twice about jailbreaking and unlocking. It was so easy with the help of iClarified that even a caveman could do it.

With Android, its still straightforward, just you need to read before posting "How do I flash this?" posts when the answers are either in the 1st post or has been answered...

Only thing I have read about that I was kinda worried about was loosing WiMax keys. Is there anything else I have to do to make sure this does not happen? I read something on the front page about radio/wimax/pri versions.. not completely sure what that entails?

Flash Amon RA 2.3 as your Recovery. When doing a nandroid backup, it will ask if you want to backup your wimax settings. Check that box and your keys will be backed up safely.

When you flashed Myn's notification bar, you probably changed a lot of the optimizations Mik offers that makes his rom so fast.

If you want to change things like that, it is best to first pull the .apk from your framework folder to your PC/Mac desktop, replace just the .png's, etc you are changing and then push the .apk back. If you flash a zip containing Myn's notifications you are slowing Mik's rom by writing over his optimized files.

Of all the other options it is showing, which ones should I backup? Already have boot/system/data/cache and wimax checked off.

Remaining options are recover/sd-ext/.android_secure
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I've not heard of anyone loosing WiMax keys flashing this ROM (doesn't mean it can't happen).

When you rooted, did you end up with Ammon_RA or Clockwork as your recovery?

Cuz if you have RA recovery, then go here and d/l the latest one and reflash it. The original post (i.e. OP if you see that mentioned) gives instructions on several ways to flash the recovery image, choose the one you are most comfortable with. The newer versions of RA recovery will let you backup your WiMax keys. You probably only need to do this on one known good configuration that 4G works for you, after that, there really isn't any reason to keep backing up your WiMax info.

I recommend the "flash_image" method, but you may not have adb setup on your computer yet.

If you do happen to already have adb working, then I recommend you download this beta version (you may need to hold down the "ctrl" key before you hit this link to prevent the pop-up blockers in your browser from stopping the download), save a copy to the root of your sd card and enter the following commands:

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
#reboot recovery

If you don't have adb yet, then you can install version 2.2.1 from Post #1 here and flash using whatever method they mention that will work for your situation.

***The only issue with version 2.2.1 is that you need to "wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache" before you do a backup or restore or else it may hang up on you. This is not an issue with V2.3 of Ammon_RA.

Hope this helps. Look at my signature below for my current configuration.

Just keep this in mind.....if the latest radios match what you have in you're phone now, DO NOT UPDATE. Did you backup your your RSA?

I backed up everything except sd-ext and android.secure. It didn't show an option backing up RSA keys when using Amon Ra version 2.2.1\

I've looked back over the last 30 pages or so and haven't found a solution to this problem:

I've been on 4.4 since it came out and I've had a problem every morning since flashing and it only happens in the morning. I pick up the phone and press the power button and the screen lights up but is "frozen", trying to scroll the screen doesn't work nor does pressing any of the control buttons.

Today I tried to reboot to get the phone working properly, I pushed the power button and the screen popped up giving options to "Power Off, Reboot" etc. Touching one of the options did nothing so I finally did a battery pull and everything is now normal. So this only manifests itself after "sleeping" several hours at night. I did wait a few minutes to see if it would come to life before pulling the battery.

Any ideas? The phone's Uptime and awake time are as they should be when I check.

thanks in advance,

D
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I experienced this as well. If you are using Apps2SD and moved your dalvik cache to SD using the:

adb shell

a2sd cachesd

command, you may want to check that with the

following command

:

/system/bin/a2sd check

Under

Dalvik Cache

you will see if it is running from your sdcard or internal memory. If it says internal memory, run this command:

a2sd repair

It will take a while so let it be until it reboots on it's own. This will put your dalvik cache back on your sdcard and should solve the problem.

** I think this is happening because some of Mik's zips wipe the dalvik cache and it may be confusing a2sd in some way by removing your dalvik flag.

I know this is a sense rom. I was wondering if there was any way to implement the AOSP lockscreen into this rom.. I would love to try this out until CM7 is released and wimax is stable. I would also like a pulldown notification widget as a part of this rom... can anyone help me?

Clockworkmod also does wimax backup. People thinking only ra does it is misinfo. Koush fixed that weeks ago. And if you use 2.6 clockwork mod. Which is what unrevoked 3 installs, it will flash any thing. No need for ra. Clockwork automatically backs up wimax. Dont need to check any box.

I really wish people would stop bashing clockwork mod. Koush next to cyanogen has done more for the android modding community than anyone else. That is across all phones. Clockwork mod is more user friendly, it does everything ra does since koush updated it, and it will flash files from anywhere on your sd card.

[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
Newegg. I had put a out of stock notification in like a week ago for it, recieved the instock notification yesterday morning, ordered, then they were out of them again! Did get my tracking number though...

Since posting that, I have moved the cache over to my current class 2 sdcard, and the phone still seems very snappy and responsive. Might be an overkill with the new card, don't know till it gets here, but I have read that other's have also used a class 2 and after swapping to there class 6 really saw no difference. Anyhow, at least with transferring 11GB's of music it'll be faster with the class 10! Took over an hour yesterday to transfer from the card, and then another hour to transfer back to the card! Damn you SanDisk for your utterly slow card!!!

Keep an eye on Newegg, and then there is 1 being sold on ebay as well...

I haven't found the Lexar class 10 in the wild yet...

Edit: I see Newegg has the Patriot's back in stock again this morning...

I have not intentionally moved the dalvik cache to SD, this morning while looking at Titanium Backup Pro I saw that I have the following:

Internal: 448 MB (131 MB free)

SD card: 7.93 GB (2.13 GB free)

SD card: (a2sd) 367 MB (189 MB free)

I installed 4.4 and took no further actions, I missed somehow that an a2sd partition would be created . Since the 2nd SD card (a2sd) shows 367 MB with 189 MB free, it tells me something has been move/placed on that partition automatically at install.

Does this make sense? How can I find out what is using the 2nd SD card (a2sd) space?

(and yes I always do a wipe of cache and dalvik cache before upgrading or installing a ROM)

I appreciate the help here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Stop it or you'll screw up my world view! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
You can kind of ignore that:

SD card: (a2sd) 367 MB (189 MB free)

That is just TB being confused by a2sd.

If you want to free up an extra 60 mb of space on your internal memory, you can run the following:

adb shell

a2sd cachepart

which will move your dalvik to your /cache/ partition and result in extra space in your /data/ partition (where your apps go) in your internal memory.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
This is an issue that several of us are looking at. Basically, without having created an ext partition on purpose, a "phantom" one will show up under spareparts or titanium backup. If you didn't reformat your sd card to explicitly create an ext2 or ext3 partition, then don't worry. MikFroyo 4.4 will function just fine without that.

I have a post in the Darktremor Thread asking about this issue, as it seems to be a function of that apps2sd script which Mik is using, but so far no one has an answer. It appears to be an aberration which can be ignored for the most part.

I'm trying to use Terminal Emulator to move the dalvik cache and having problems. I am NOT experienced at using adb commands on the computer or with Terminal Emulator. I've accomplished one change a week or two ago using Terminal Em. but that's it.

Mik has a zip file which I've downloaded that will move the dalvik cache to SD. His post though confuses me, here it is:

The last sentence is confusing to me, with 4.4 I'm showing that SD partition that I didn't create. Is he referring the the apk "a2sd" and not the one that is included in 4.4?

Also I have the 8g SD card that came with the Evo, is it okay to use his zip to move the dalvik cache to SD card using my standard SD card? There's a lot to get familiar with flashing ROMs and I've got a handle on a lot of it but need to learn more. I read more on this forum than anywhere and it helps, but I'm not there yet.

thanks,

this thread is like a chat room guys... not that i mind... cuz it is mostly rom related stuff...

just letting u know i dont mind it at all.

btw... i need to add some things to the white theme thats already up if u guys didnt notice... i gotta add 4x5 and animations to that theme.

also... stock theme should be up for u stock guys in the next few hours (probably like 3 hours max).

then... im done guys... ill try to send eric some files to see how much fun he can do with it and theme up some diff colors and such.

im happy to see GB sucks... i kinda had a feeling it would just cuz of those ugly black menus (my opinion anyways) and cuz the nexus s is a samsung phone... which again... sucks (again, my opinion).

anyways... from what i can see most of u guys got all the issues worked out, so thats good.

now...

u guys seem to forget that all things for my rom (mods/themes/etc.) are on the second and third post... yes there is more than a few things on those thread... but thats where everything is as far as i know.

if u see something for my rom that is not up there... let me know... ill add it in.

im just having a look at it myself cuz i never used it also... but google is always a good way to start looking into it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715938&highlight=A2sd here is the xda site for a2sd. It explains a lot but i can also answer some questions. I really don't think it is necessary in this rom because you already have native a2sd within froyo, cache to sd, and zip align on boot which is all a2sd is good for. I personally don't need it so it would be nice to have two different rom versions.

Any way you can create a zip for your new rom to make the clock widget, boot animation and loading screen, animations, and battery (removal of percentage), back to completely stock. I know we've been talking about this through pms but I wanted to make it public to see if anyone else agrees with me.

Maybe a zip to remove a2sd ;). I will definitely donate when the new version comes out.
