[EVO 4G Android Development] frettfreak:
one question i had for aamikam is since you did so much work with the framework-res files... do you know of any theme-rs that have used your work as a base so we can flash a new theme and not lose your optimizations?

thanks!! This is DEFINITELY an amazing ROM! cant wait to give it the all-day run through tomorrow. I am hoping battery life is good!
[EVO 4G Android Development] retnuh730:
No I

DID

like it, I admit I never would have set it myself because I thought I'd miss out on the animations or something but it goes miles into making the phone move around quicker. I am doing this from now on on any ROM I flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
dude... notice how small the system/app/ folder is... and this rom has almost all the possible software included.

i kinda explained what i did here.

buttom line.. almost all the resources of each apk got cut down by somewhere from 10% up to 10 times smaller... thats where u get the speed... the anim set to fast is something i also always do... but even with it being on normal... its still loads everything faster.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
mmm... i actually did those animations approx 8 hours ago.... so no theme or dev have them... its all originally my work... and like i said... more anim's i made are coming also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frettfreak:
yeah.. i dont wanna TOUCH the animations... seriously.. SICK WORK!!! (i was thinking more icon/title bar/app pull down stuff) The more i keep using this, just setting up my stuff... this thins is RIDICULOUS!!! Gonna give it a work out tomorrow, but a donation is on the way FOR SURE!!! THANK YOU !!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
two themes are on the way... i dont know if u've seen my previous work.. but a black themed and a white themed rom should be out soon also.

i just released this rom first cuz i started working on my theme again i started to redo everything... and i noticed its taking a long time and that i found a way to opt the packages a little more than what was done in the base rom i've put out... so i decided to finish the stock theme version first.

mods will also come soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
That would be quite an accomplishment if you could pull it off....and I really hope you do. I agree that CM is about the fastest I've ever tried, especially with the overclocked snap kernels.

It just seems to me like Sense ROMs integrate better with the hardware than AOSP based ROMs. Like the camera seems to take better pictures, phone signal is better, etc...maybe its just all in my head, but Sense seems to work better since that's what these phones are shipped with on them. And I prefer the overall look of Sense slightly more to that of stock Android. I have been on Calk's ROMs for months but I'm definitely going to be giving your ROM a try Mik, especially when it gets themed. I really feel like you are on to something with this Re-Engineered thing. Along with many others, I very much appreciate your work. It takes a lot of time and dedication to do this stuff. Looking forward to the updates my man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] retnuh730:
Mighty impressive. You're doing a better job than HTC optimizing their apps. This is my new sense ROM of choice by far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frettfreak:
I have tried CM, and its fast... for sure... but i LOVE sense... and with speed like this... i am not missing on anything (as long as battery life is good which i havent tested yet)
[EVO 4G Android Development] frettfreak:
cant wait bro!! this will definitely hold me over for a while. Pretty amazing... still just blown away at the speed of this thing!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] retnuh730:
I've always been turned off by CM's vanilla look. I've been a huge fan of another AOSP mod, MIUI. But when it comes to sense this is my new jam.

EDIT: Would there be any reason this ROM wouldn't play nice with the Better Battery Charging kernels?
[EVO 4G Android Development] frettfreak:
100% agree..

really

like what MIUI has going on. I usually switch between a sense rom and that.. but been back on the sense wagon for a while now.. lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Is it really worth your time? I thought the consensus was that the whole data throttling is not an issue for EVO owners anyway.

But if you can figure out how to do it, that would be pretty cool...

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
thats why im saying i hope there isn't too much references to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Love the rom but hate the black bar lock wish the transparent Slayer version was available. Qick and fast but I hate the that black ba If you don't like clear maybe clear with lime hints would be better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
well looks like you got this all figured out already, but yes on beta1 same setting no force close.

edit: speeds seem lightly quicker on 4g with beta2, and about the same on 3g. hard to tell though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
did u see this one? its transparent.

if anyone wants this, im reposting the transparent and different lock screen someone else posted, it was for mikfroyo, but im unsure who put it up or where the credit is due...

its simply awesome.

just flash it like normal, it works GREAT.

[EVO 4G Android Development] PAPutzback:
Ring...ring ring.... This has been the best ROM I have used so far since I got the EVO and rooted it the first day. Other than having to clear the Market Cache I haven't had a single issue.

I just need to test USB tethering but everything has been great so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjhuffer:
Text-to Speech

One more thing I noticed and I don't know if it is intentional is the fact that voice settings > text-to-speech setting are not already installed within the rom. You have to go to the market to download. Any specific reason for this or just the way it is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] majorkillin:
4.2 Beta 2 Without apps2sd and no problems in the 3G settings.

Only 1 minor problem. Gallery will not change views. It goes back to the gallery menu if I try to change to thumbnail view.

Otherwise, everything working great. 3G speeds seem a little better. Haven't tested 4G yet, no 4G signal in the building.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iondokk:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think mik said that if you flash themes it will slow down this rom...i can't get over the speed of this rom,i don't want to compromise anything...although I love clear task bar, rosie and unlocker I have flashable files for all but don't want to lose the speed...its like a killer drug, once you have it you can't stop....

Oh yeah 4.2 beta and so far no problems, I'll try out the bluetooth tomorrow...
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
No force close with beta 1 or 2 on mobile network. Wiped for each flash. If you take out the changes, I'll stick to this version. Fastest by far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
you will have no issues with this lock screen slowing down anything, it doesnt touch one thing, its just a lock screen.

thats it... no frame work or anything like that is touched that im aware of...

ive been using it will every version. no issues same speeds as stock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
let me explain again.... all the apk in this rom have all the languages cut out... if u flash a theme the languages will come back into the apks.... now... what makes this rom so fast is the fact that the languages are not in there... smaller sizes, faster loading, etc.

now... u might not feel a diff in speed... but, it doesnt mean it not there... and the best way to see it is to check your mem usage... with my rom un themed... u will get the best result ever... with a theme... it will change.

now... i dont know by how much it will cuz i never tried it... but it will.

so... for best result in speed and mem usage... keeping everything that u put on the phone should be based on these builds.

thats all i can say about that.

and another thing... u will see more and more people doing what i did or using my base for their rom also... i know im not the best ROM developer out there... there are much more that know more... but my work is originally my idea... and the reason i put my base version before my own ROM was because i know im not the best ROM developer... but i wanted to share with everyone else my idea and hive a proof it works, and works good.

i made a mistake if u ask me... cuz people have and will use it without even remembering me... but i do hope someone more skilled than me will adopt the idea and do something even greater with it.

in the end... thats why we here... to make things work better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjhuffer:
Thats weird i just tested an i don't have the problem with the gallery. I would go back and test again if not try clearing the cache or reinstalling gallery.apk
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... so after looking at the services jar that does the throttle tweak... it has all the menus for the "mobile data"... of course taking those entries out will give u an fc on it...

stupid tweak.

again... with all due respect to the maker of this tweak... that is the lazy man sol for removing a cap... im gonna skip removing the code for throttling myself... cuz there is a need to change the number of registers and also parameters and a few more things... ad im not jschisurf.. so my smali skills are good... but not thats good not to mention... that tweak is worthless for us sprint users.

anyways.

ill post a zip for u guys in a few.,.. but u can look at that data menu issue as fixed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akastixx:
i looked at the thread before it was mentioned here, and i've also asked this question a couple of times without any response, so i'll throw it out there again:

at home on 4g:

speedtest on evo - 1 Mb/s upload max, 2 Mb/s download max

speedtest on computer w/ pda.net or wireless tether - same as above

speedtest on computer with wired tether - less upload speed but 2x - 3x download speed.

anyone else ever have this issue on other roms? if so, what did you do to change it on the phone if you did, or is the fix in that thread/other tweaks in this base rom/or a combination of tweaks in one of the beta roms what finally did it for you? i'm still using the base for now, but it's the first time i've had the same speeds on the phone and the computer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
the fix in that thread does nothing good if u ask me... just f up things... its not for us... its for t-mobile people that r whiling to f up the data menu for losing the cap... we dont have a cap.

now... im not sure what version u r on... but for beta 2 i changed the polling times to lower and the kb/s to higher.

in the framework res... that should give u more speed but will also cost batt life.

now... what i did will try to pull more... but if it cant.. it wont.

and as for your wired tether question... i dont know... i barely tether my self.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akastixx:
cool. thanks for the response. i ran a speed test while i was typing my post and yours (base) is the first rom i've tried where i could pull 4+ down on the phone or wired tether (the phone was actually faster!). i'd rather have as many of my fourgees as possible if it means giving up some battery. i'm patiently looking forward to the finished v4.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
here is the fix for the settings data menu.

if no issues will come with beta 2... a final release will come tomorrow.

so far i think everyone thinks it's either faster or same speed as beta 1.

no one really commented on 3g/4g speeds yet. (unless i missed it... but thats why i said a pm is better).

and i need to also know a little about batt life... otherwise i will assume that if the speed tweaks worked... and i assume it did, and no batt life effects on it... im leaving it in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
since u r like vin diesel and wanna be fast and furious.... try beta 2 for me... it wont be long until final 4.2 will come up also, probably less than 24 hours.

i need some comments on the 3g/4g speeds.

thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrwilly:
does the fix remove the throttle tweak?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Do you mean it shows up like that on your computer? Cause es file explorer and root explorer can both be changed to r/w from r/o...

Goto Menu ->Preferences ->Appearance Settings ->Dock background ->Custom than choose the dock from the gallery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, assuming you have LauncherPro, you download the images to a file name that you'll remember, like "LauncherProDocks". Then:

Menu(button) > Appearance Settings > Dock background > Custom

...then navigate to where you saved the images and pick one and then navigate back to your homsecreen and you'll see how it looks.

P.S., You can download an app from the Market called "LauncherProIcons" that will allow you to download all the docks and icons you want. It's very cool. The great thing about this app is that it will search your phone for all your apps and then show you all the launcher dock-style icons that match you apps.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
GUYS, I NEED TO MENTION SOMETHING:

This thread is about MikFroyo. I know we all tend to dance around the edges on that a bit because we feel comfortable and like to share with our friends here; however, there is OT (off-topic) and then there is and SOT (severely off-topic).

As the #1 thread on xda, we now have a rep to maintain. Lots of new people are coming here after hearing good things about MikFroyo and want answers without reading too much fluff about our personal lives.

For that reason, I request that everyone keep the REALLY personal stuff to Private Messages.

Here's the test to use. Before posting, ask yourself, "What does this have to do with MikFroyo?" If the answer is "Nothing", then consider PM'ing your friends here about it rather than posting in the public forum.

Thanks :)

Ohh. I just tried a salvage - Zen froyo kernel with wimax. Complete fail. Screen tares all over tur place.
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Hopefully someone can help me...I'm attempting to flash the MikFroyo 4.5 Beta and everytime I try, it seems to freeze up during the flashing phase. In RA-Recovery, progress bar doesn't fill up with the green color like it usually does. And if it doesn't freeze up there, it'll boot but freeze up at the white Sprint page. I've used the Calkin's Format Zip to wipe everything and that doesn't seem to fix and I tried wiping everything 3x's and it still freezes up at one of those stages.

Do anyone have any ideas how I can get this to flash?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
My name is Johnathan and u approve thus message..
[EVO 4G Android Development] kast107:
The bar doesn't go all the way. Just let it do it's thing. Before you know it, you'll be back into RA, asking you to reboot. Hit reboot, and again let it do it's thing again.

Like the rest of us, you'll be happy you did.

If for some reason, it still hangs on you, try re-downloading the file and run through the flashing process again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
That makes sense! This place is a wealth of info anbout the rom, apps and the phone in general. Keep up the Great Post Guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
What version of RA are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
When the bar did move, it seemed to flash correctly. But that's when it would just hang on the white "Sprint 4G" page.

And when the bar didn't move it seemed as though it just locked up while flashing the rom.

I'm going to re-download the beta and give another it twirl.

Is there any other differences between 4.4 and 4.5 other than speed, that you've noticed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxRAMOTHxx:
Check out www.ultralinx.com he has some good tutorials for those type of docks.

Sent from MikyFroyos!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kast107:
I haven't gotten around to flashing 4.5, yet. From what I noticed with previous versions, the bar hangs about halfway through the process, then after a bit, it will continue doing its thing.

If it hangs on the Sprint 4G screen, try battery pulling and letting it reboot. Sometimes the booting takes longer, for some technical reason beyond my knowledge, but the patience has paid off!

Good luck. I hope it helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Im using v2.2.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
That's the one I still use. It does that from time to time, more so when you use a format_all.zip to wipe. It is also said to flash a kernel of your choice right after the Rom before rebooting.

[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Cool..I didn't know that about the kernels. I see that you have one in your kernel, is that the one you're using? And if not, do you know of a good kernel to use?

[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
The funny thing with battery life is only you can judge your own compared to what you've gotten before. I can get 20-24 hours with net's nohavs nosbc kernel, but what I might consider moderate use others might consider light, or even heavy use. Also depends what your phone likes. My phone hates havs. I get lag and screen tear with it. I'm perfectly happy with my battery life though and carry an extra "emergency battery."

Sent from my MikFroyo'd, custom Chogardjr'd Evo, plain and simple.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
My question would be did you charge it to 100% with that unplugged time?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
My kernel rocks (sig). Not a fan of sbc. You can try more havs and see if your phone can remain stable at lower voltages. If you start to FC, just flash less-havs or no-havs until you get it right.

HOW TO FIND TRUE MAH OF YOUR BATTERY:

Charge your battery from empty to full using a non-usb 800 to 1000 ma wall charger. Multiply the hours it takes to fully charge by 650 and you will have the batteries true mah.

1500 mah battery:

1500 / 650 = 2.3 hours (2 hours, 15 minutes charge time)

3500 mah battery:

3500 / 650 = 5.38 hours (5 hours, 20 minutes charge time)
