i would like to thank u guys... this has been fun... but there are a lot of suprises coming with 4.5 final version...

so far 4.4 has had over 7500 d/l's... and i saw a lot of people mirror my without even letting me know... so it could easily be over 10,000 d/l if not a lot more.

so thank u guys for the huge support and for keeping this thread alive and being the #1 thread on xda. (we avg over 260 posts a day).

this thread has really became a mini forum that discuss all kind of information.

anyways... before i jump into talking about the final release of 4.5 i would like to say im sorry it took so long, but when u will see what u get as extras u will understand why it took so long.

i dont want to give away too much... but i will need some testers in the upcoming 2-3 days (u wont need to wipe btw.) and im pretty sure u guys will see a final ver. sometime this weekend.

please feel free to pm me if u'd like to test stuff out.

im also planning on starting my own website (more like a forum not really a website) cuz i plan on expanding and trying to pull off what i did for the evo for all kinda of phones.

i will need one place to try and keep track of it all... so something of my own sounds like it might be a good idea.

no... i will not charge u guys for it... everything free as it should be.

more details about that TBA.

For the update zip.. User or system... I would think both but that's not an option?

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Holy crap, Mik. :eek: You're just a glutton for punishment, aren't ya? Takin' on the whole world. I love it. Hopefully you'll support the next phone I get after my Evo. I'll be patiently, yet anxiously waiting for 4.5. I'd honestly like to help with testing, but tinkering with beta stuff is outside of my comfort zone for now (I know these things are hard to brick and all, but if anyone can do it, I can.) I'm sure there will be plenty of willing souls here though.

Reading through some threads and see EvoZone is using the Mikfroyo as his base now. Allot of folks are complimenting him on how fast and smooth it is! Lol! If they would only try the TRUE MIKFROYO from aamikam they would be really amazed. Also I noticed that if there is a problem there, he or others there don't seem to have the answers or support that is here! That is why I love this rom and this thread!

I also get this too...From a clean flash nothing installed. I was wondering if someone could create a flashable .zip to bring the loading screen and the splash animation back to stock.

Semi-trans app drawer does look cool, but it's definitely less smooth scrolling than the default black.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... im on the apps2sd version of beta 2 right now (cuz i did that one last)

now...

i got the fc also in settings menu.

my questions to u guys is... was it on beta 1?

if so... which version of it?

and... if the same issue is in the no apps2sd version?

i can figure it out... but this might be quicker.

p.s.

is that the only issue u guys had so far?

p.s. 2

anything to do with themes/mods will come once 4.2 is 100% stable... i wont start on anything before that.

p.s. 3

i know some of u guys wanted a more stock look version of the rom... please look HERE to find such a version. (he was the first guys to ever cook a rom for the Evo even before it came out btw...)

there are more and more roms coming out using my base... so after i perfect version 4.2 i will start to focus on my own themes and mods... i usually love to help people out... but i cannot satisfy everyone.

everything i promised so far i will fulfill... but after that im done... i have 2, 3 themes to work on (and probably a port of dusk theme) and still have to add in my 4x5 rosie (thanks daryelv for his original work and ideas from where i made my own) mods and all of the diff remaps(right key browser/msg/etc.) i made for rosie (thanks jschisurf for his original work on that btw).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Helton566:
How do you want this tested? With stock kernel or can we add one?

Sent from my Tapa Tapa!
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
i never tried beta 1, this is on beta 2 WITHOUT the apps2sd.

it was the only issue i had, im not running any tweaks,themes,or any file flashes, just the rom as it on a fresh clean wipe.

and question.

what do you mean "your done?" does that mean your done with roms completely? or just doing themes and such?

thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
if u add your own kernel... i cant tell if its a problem with the rom or the kernel... unless u can be sure its one or the other... than have fun man.

btw.... i think the missing packages i whats causing the fc's... like i said... beta... so im still trying to clean out crap from the sys... and some of the packages just have to stay i guess..

anyways.. ill put up a zip with a fix in a few.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
when i say im done i mean that im gonna stop taking requests until im done with my own themes and mods.

edit:

let me explain a little more... the way v4.2 is now... probably cannot get mush better than this... so... once 4.2 is done... ill put up a few zips that u guys aksed for... and then im only working on what i wanna do... when im done with what i wanna do which is finishing my own themes and mods... than ill go back to helping guys out with requests.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjhuffer:
I apologize I wont ask again. Otherwise the rom is running great. I appreciate all your work. I got the boot animation changed now I'm just working on getting the sound back working and the loading screen back to the stock HTC. I might be able to compile a zip for a quick mod back to stock.

I'm almost positive I saw the issue of FC on Mobile network settings in the OP of the thread about throttling data. I would assume it has to do with the data throttling governor mod.

im starting to think so also... cuz i added back what i took out and i also decompressed the settings and phone apks.

[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
thanks for clearing that up.

keep up the good work, no rush on the force close thing, i never disable data anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
mmm... thats strange... im on the apps2sd version... ill try to switch and see the other version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Go back to page 86 in this thread. Look for a link titled "here" which will take you to a thread titled 'how to defeat data throttling', and in the OP this issue is stated clearly at the end under 'issues'.

Btw, I'm also on beta 2 without apps2sd and am getting the FC.

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
im having the force close on the beta2 WITHOUT apps2sd, it happens when i click the box to re-enable mobile network, it connects back fine, but then give me a force close...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
gotya... well... that would explain it.

its cuz with all due respect to the author of that mod... and although im not a coding genius... the smart thing to do here would be to comment out the code... and then remove the files... not simply remove the files like he says...

anyways... i will do it... i hope not too many smali files have it in them... but i will make my version of that mod that wont have that bug.

anyone know how I can get back the Slide Screen that comes with this rom. I installed the rotory unlock and I get occasional force closes. Id prefer to go back to the "stock" mik slide unlock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
I took the com.htc.resources.apk, and the framework-res.apk, from the 4.4 flat black theme and replaced some .png files for the signal, 3g, and wifi.

Then I optimized/zipaligned the files, and pushed them onto 4.5 beta 5.

I have no idea whether or not I lost any speed, but if I did I can't tell.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
Did you delete the htclockscreen.apk or rename it?

Either way if you want the lockscreen back you have to place htclockscreen.apk in your system/app folder.

Edit: I know someone has posted the apk here, gimmie a sec.

Good morning fellow Miksters. I hope all is well in the land of Mikfroyo, but based on the conversations I've been seeing, it looks like all is beyond well!

I have a question regarding the Chogardjr Blue theme. I loaded this theme on my phone and it looks great, BUT one thing that bugs me is when I go to the stock browser and hit menu, the notification bar shows up, but the background on it becomes the browser's address bar, making it look like a window on top of another window.

Is this normal or did I screw something up. I triple wiped, installed the theme (since I got a bootloop when I forgot to wipe), then wiped again and ran Calk's Sense Removal.

It all boots, and like I said, it looks great, but that window on window looks weird to me. I just want to know if it's a glitch or if my Evo is a freak. My guess it the latter, but any feedback would be much appreciated.

Gracias, and stay classy Mikfroyans!

I got that "staggering effect" too when I flashed the blue theme. Mine only lasted during the time a web page was loading, then would go back to normal once it was loaded. I had not removed sense yet, so that shouldn't be the issue.

Just trying to help by eliminating sense removal as a problem, as I am still too new to solve problems yet. ; )

on beta V FINALLY!!!

ok, so last night i reflashed beta V on a different SD card and all is well!! i'm loving the speed of beta V...it just seems so much smoother than beta IV....really weird thinking mik could get any faster/smoother.....

anyways, just wanted to post a bug with one of the themes from 4.4.....

i flashed the koni minimalistic theme last night and it worked like a charm...everything is gorgeous....BUT...da da daaaaaaaaaaaaa

after flashing the theme, i rebooted and made sure everything was working and smooth....it worked! so i get all excited and i wanna remove the htclockscreen.apk so i can use the sliders.....i reboot into recovery, make a NAND of the working setup....reboot and go into ES file manager (with root option selected), delete the lockscreen.apk, setup the lockscreen app and reboot.....

enter the wonderful realm of bootloops.....fun times ahead!! pull battery and restore working nand.....thinking maybe deleting the apk was bad so i simply rename it htclockscreen.bak and reboot.........bootloop realm here i come again!!! pull battery, restore nand, and just give up.....

the koni minimalistic theme is not setup to work with the lockscreen app opimization in my opinion and i hope someone can tell me why....i love this theme and would love to use the sliders with it....

also, themers in the room, i love your themes, just not a big fan of flashy colors...would you be willing to give your blue theme a retreatment with a slate gray color??
[EVO 4G Android Development] suboveryde:

I wanted to ask you one thing about your keyboard, is there anything I can do to shorten the time it takes to offer a number when holding down a letter? it might just be mine but it seems to lag just a bit more than i have been used to. I can deal with it if not, bored at work and felt like messing with something. Thanks

GENERAL TIP:

If you go to sleep at night after using your phone, make sure you put it on your nightstand and not on the bed. Last night my phone got rapped up in the covers with the screen stuck "on" and when I woke up the thing was HOT.

Setting animations/transitions on fast. That's basically it.

Don't use it to set your Dalvik location - use a2sd for that.

Yep, lockscreen incompatibility is the key to bootloopsville. Once Mik gets 4.5 out there, the theme devs will update to be compatible. For now, you can either do the theme or the lockscreen switch, but not both.

MikFroyo for Noobs

A month ago I rooted my phone and went in search of a good ROM. Tried a couple and landed here. I must say Beta5 is fast and smooth - shockingly so when compared with other "final release" roms out there. I started following this forum about a month ago as well... like drinking from a fire hose. Learned a ton.

Maybe I am just lucked out with the right hardware but - I have beat the heck out of this rom and can't get a lock or force close. I use my phone for work. I use gmail and exchange, am on it all day. Also slingplayer, iheart radio, logmein. I have 4g on most of the day and do it all at the same time... no hickups to report. (seems like most people only report problems)

I get about 1300's on quadrant, 34 mflops, great battery life. (see sig)

For my fellow novice I just thought I would outline the steps followed:

1. First I followed Mitch's guide for setting up an EXT3 partition on my SD card here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10454445&postcount=3070 about half way down the page.

2. Then followed his advice on flashing mik froyo http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10985680&postcount=8440

3. did the a2sd nocache

4. Installed launcherpro+

5. Removed sense with tool http://www.mediafire.com/?cgddget1gztbc5h

6. Then flashed chogardjr's rotary lock screen http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?y1v0cudgxfp424d

7. Used appbrain to put all my apps back

Amazingly easy with the help off all the incredible advice from guys on this forum. Happy to help any fellow noobs.

Looking forward to 4.5

Thanks all.
