Those that have downloaded the Z-port, have you had a chance to flash and play with it and if so how is it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdeloach:
While I'm getting the MikZ thread ready, if you have any bugs or questions feel free to email me at jdeloach@gmail.com.

Remember, being a port from a phone without all of the Evo features, 4G and HDMI will not work. The front camera will work if you use the Cam fix used on other Desire Z Rom ports. Also, boot in to recovery will be fixed soon.

Jadeboy got a favor if you've got a couple mins? There's a couple thanks in it for ya ;-)

Edit: It shouldn't be that hard.... I promise....

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxRAMOTHxx:
Well said... and funny. I think what's great though I this awesome phone and awesome ROM have lead to a discussion about what you can delete an what you should keep an what..... always I can say is GOD BLESS AMERICA! Enjoy the right to hack your phone all you like the way you like!

While I use the crap out I my evo I respect psd's position and that's what works for him.

Nice!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxRAMOTHxx:
Welcome JD! Glad to have you here. Getting ready to flash it now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdeloach:
Thanks bro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yes welcome and thanks for taking on the mikz project.
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
@jdeloach what's up there brother! Glad to have you onboard here ! In case anyone did not know jdeloach had a very awesome christian base rom that I ran for a long time. He is an excellent dev.

For those who use setcpu what are some good settings
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
How exactly do you have a Christian based Rom?

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
I just use the screen off profile at 245/245 and o/c to 1152. If you overclock be sure to not check the set on boot until you are sure it runs well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
With a good but not over the top christian theme and he included a couple of christian apps. He is a damn good dev. His rom had plenty of extra mem and it was smooth with no fc's and every function worked. He is an excellent addition to "Team Mik"

"Born from man-Embraced by God"
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
I use that at screen off as well but I underclock to try and save a little battery (LET'S START THE DEBATE!!!!) But nick what setting do you use? I've tried smartass and on demand but those test went out cause my 4g was constantly trying to turn on so that affected battery and I just full wiped and reflashed so I'm literally back to square one with no progress on what setting to use :-(

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
Well got Mik Z d/l'd just need to back up chogard's rom and start to flash.

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] .psd:
Not to beat a dead horse, but it's really not "what works for me" like you and some others have said, as though my experiments are irrelevant and exclusive to my Evo or even my habits. Obviously turning off everything you don't actually use is going to result in a performance boost for everyone, hence the popularity of Mikfroyo, task managers, and Evo-battery-saving techniques. If Evos came with a 10 pound weight attached to them, people wouldn't see me taking off the 10lb weight and say "that's what works for you, I prefer a heavy phone". If people get "the same" battery life as me but they're managing their CPUs (battery saving technique), and they aren't using autobrightness and a lot of calls (the two major battery-drainers in my experience), I think that alone pretty much settles it. They can probably have a 20 hour battery by considering some of my steps (stuff I didn't really figure out on my own, with the exception of which specific system apps are safe to uninstall, and how to calibrate the battery like a boss). Aamikam is saying Odex is faster and tweakable, which flies in the face of everything I've seen around here, but nobody's attacking him because they've tried his stuff and found it to be better. Don't judge mine until you try it, that's all I'm saying.

Brush me off if you want to, I feel I'm just extending the efforts that I saw others getting praise for. If you want Gmail, keep it on. If you want Weather or live wallpaper or TTS, keep it on. You don't need ALL of the TTS files, nor all the weather files, and I can't think of anything that requires always on mobile data. But you can still uninstall everything else and follow the calibrating technique for a pretty much guaranteed performance+battery boost without causing problems.

To me that's what MikFroyo is all about: optimizing. I wasn't trying to brag about my godly battery life, which by the way is still at 100% almost 6 hours off the charger with even more texts and a period of listening to music on headphones. Admittedly light use right now, but the the point is that the battery DOES drain amazingly slow during much heavier use.

EDIT: ALSO, they are using CPU underclocking profiles, which I don't use. So my phone is consistently clocked higher, brighter screen, and longer call times. Just saying.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
If I noticed correctly, I think he has the rosie attached to the HTC resources again. I can try later tonight unless someone beats me to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eboothjr:
So Evos atleats here in nor cal are back ordered so i didnt get a replacement yesterday :( but i decided to go flash happy and start flahing things i always wanted to try but just didnt and since mikz was out i download it and now my phone wont power off... i hold down the power button till power options come on and select power off it ask my to confirm i select ok and it reboots. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
I think one guy said that was a known issue and should be fixed soon... look back a couple pages for a guy named JD...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I don't mess around too much with the settings. I usually stay somewhere between these 2:

OC 1150 conservative, 245-384 conservative @ screen off

Stock 998 smartass (smartass will automatically set 384 @ screen off)

I leave all advance settings as they are.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eboothjr:
yeah he was refering to booting into recovery unless he posted further back then that
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Basically, your phone won't shut off? You can try "quick boot" from the market. I think it has a power off function.

Or you may be able to type in terminal emulator:

su (enter)

reboot -p (enter)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdeloach:
Haha...guess it would have helped to post the correct email.

jdeloach23@gmail.com

Sorry I left the 23 out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
That's all we were saying... We like some of that stuff... So well keep it...

Show me a pic of hella low mAs during use and this "10-12 hr heavy use" screenshot and ill do what originally posted STEP BY STEP! But my phone could stay at 100% for three hours if I didn't touch it but for 4 min in that time too... I guess I'm a needs to "see it to believe it" kinda guy...

[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
@chogard Was I right about the rosie being back in resources in Chogardjr 2.5?
[EVO 4G Android Development] madflasher:
wow! thats awesome..
[EVO 4G Android Development] eboothjr:
correct it wont power off. It will only reboot when selecting power off

You didn't just quote that, did you?

Sorry, its not the same ... Mines custom ;-)

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Did you try my suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I know but it worked on MikFroYo because aamikam detatched rosie from HTC resources. I think Chogardjr 2.5 has it put back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
If I could somehow put into text, that motion where I run my hand over my head and make a racecar noise..... I would

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Lol. Basically aamikam made it possible to change the rosie without touching the resources file, only rosie.apk. In other ROMs, the rosie files are in the resources apk.

Now I get it thank you!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] lildoug2410:
I've been running mikz for a couple of hours now and I really like it. Sense 2.0 is sweet. The Rom is very responsive and smooth. The only complaint is the reboot problem. But I just downloaded the app to fix that for now. Can't wait for a final!
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I have a technical question regarding mik4.5.

I was looking over the scripts in init.d folder and I saw this one:

06MISC:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs

Anyone know was this is about. I've looked on the web and I have an idea about vm-dirty items. But every thing I found had other arguments along with it. And the 1500 value was a suggestion I found in a laptop forum. I've checked other ROMs, and I haven't see it before.

Anyone have an idea what its about?
[EVO 4G Android Development] eboothjr:
negative on the terminal emulator, but quick boot was the answer. thanks for the help! button hit
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
You're welcome.

p.s. Hope you weren't being sarcastic :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:

Thanks for you who help with the setcpu question now ive been using osmonitor and battery widget do you think thats all i need for you guys who dont use setcpu
[EVO 4G Android Development] .psd:
Well, moderate to heavyish use in my own words. I use the camera several times daily, phone for at least an hour, often 2ish hours, 100 text/media-texts sent/received, browsing <20min/day, music (headphones) for anywhere between 1-5+ hours depending on how much I skateboard or play pool, facebook <20min/day, notetaking/music downloading/alarm/timer/calculator occasionally, autobrightness on, no task or cpu managers. Just about the only things I don't use are mail/news/weather apps, so I use bookmarks to obtain that manually according to my needs.

I don't have a screencap app but if I'm up for installing one I'll post some screens one day at the end of the day. If you've noticed, I don't like having stuff installed that I don't NEED, so can you recommend a ultra-lightweight screencap method that can be uninstalled?

I don't know if this is "amazing", but >6hours off the charger, still ultra-light use but still more texting, still 100%. I haven't really done ANYTHING today except browse xda and eat lol. But I have nothing to hide I will gladly show you logs and pics daily, and start a new thread if it comes to that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Here's what I guess I don't get... With all of miks ROMs its always responsive and smooth and I've never had a complaint on speed especially... So I guess I just don't see the appeal, but I also understand not needing to fix something I don't see as broken... Anything I'm missing?

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
You can try drocap2 in the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Drocap 2... And I freeze and uninstall stuff I don't use too... Your just being really pushy about do it my way!!! We get your way works but we just don't wanna remove stuff that we use... If you don't and you delete it and it gives you better battery awesome! But if we wanna use it we've obviously accepted the change in battery life...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] .psd:
Will do, on a heavier-use day, today isn't representative of a heavyish use day because I've been pretty much doing nothing and that's kinda fine because now I wanna see how long I can keep it at 100%. Just responding to texts people are sending me and listened to some music earlier. So far >6hrs off the charger with the obvious 30sec exception to upload my BMW log earlier.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:

[EVO 4G Android Development] .psd:
Nah dude if you think I'm trying to push people to "do it my way" then you're reading that out of my posts because I never said or meant to imply anything like that. Obviously I'm just excited to help some frustrated people here and defend my findings against the challenges of people whom my post was never intended for. My post wasn't meant for people who are satisfied with their battery life. I'm 100% positive that uninstalling everything you don't use and a TON of stuff you would probably be scared to touch but is really safe to delete will result in a performance AND battery boost, and calibrating the batt my way is the best way I've found so far out of several.

[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Yea, this whole forum was that race car going past my head a few months ago. Now I think I know enough to be dangerous. :)

Its hard to find any discussions in XDA about stuff like this; swap partitions, swappiness, ideal dalvik locations, heap size, etc. There's millions of posts regarding battery life and like 2 for swappiness.

I think there's some optimization still to be done. And with more optimizing, the better performance and battery life (oh no, more battery discussion :eek:).

On a side note: godly battery life = 3500mAh. I know not everyone will accept the bulkier backside, but damn. Trying to calibrate it by draining from 100% to 0% takes forever!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
I agree. I don't use it either but would if it was for this.

Looking to flash 4.6 beta 2 and have 2 questions. Is beta 2 gonna be the final base or will there be a final base version for 4.6 and also all the flashable zips to remove files can we flash them all one at a time in the same recovery session or do we need to flash one than reboot and flash another etc.... thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
It is not final yet. Regarding the zips, it makes sense you should be able to do all at once but I can't say for sure.

Agreed. Still haven't heard much about mikz. Did jd get his thread up?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
Should be ok to flash them all in the same session. All they are really doing is removing an APK so the app is not installed any longer. I am a little paranoid, though. So, I would personally clear cache and dalvik before each file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to flash all of the app removals at once. Its doing the same as uninstalling from the market or Ti backup AFAIK.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Hey Guys,

Did some searching on MikZ. Don't see anywhere if it has wimax. I am assuming since Myn Z doesn't have wimax that Mik Z doesn't either. Any ideas?

Migrating Mik to a new phone?

Ok due to some stupid policies by Asurion it seems I'll be getting a new phone to replace my current working phone. (It's a long story).

Since I'll be going from an 002 hardware (with minor bezel issue), to a new 004, I figure I'm not going to complain.

However I am running Mik 4.4.

Obviously I'll need to root the new device etc... but after I put back 4.4, what's the best way to move my SD card over without problems?

Since it's got an Ext3 partition, is there a way to wipe that via recovery or something without wiping the entire card?

I'm planning on using Titanium to restore all my apps and their settings, but I've a sneaky feeling this built in a2SD will cause me issues if I don't do something right... and I've no clue what that might be. (I've heard mixed results on using nandroid between phone models otherwise I'd just nandroid the entire thing.)

Any help is appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Hey Nick. Thanks. Just very busy with business :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Kinda the whole point is Sense 2.0 (or 2.1?) so I would say no. Besides that it's a port and not everything works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I think you can set the ext3 size to 0.
