[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
right now im running stock sense with x99 kernel and i REALLY want to switch to mikshift... my mouth is drooling at that green theme and i need space. a couple days ago i tried to restore my data with titanium backup and then i kept getting all of these force closes. i tried to fix permissions through recovery and rom manager and that didn't fix anything. do you think it is from restoreing system data? but i really want those contacts, messages, and other things.

also whenever i flash a rom google as me if it wants to back up my data...

can i do this manually on the stock sense?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
I let gmail back up my contacts, there are paid apps like my backup that will backup all your sms mms call logs and what not and I never restore system settings with TB from Rom to Rom I just restore apps and app data only, and I'm not sure what Google backs up I have never cared to even really read up on it I just log into the phone and okay everything lol...now onto mikshift 1.1...wow that ROM is simply amazing, I have been running his mikshift Rom since they were beta and the only kernels ill run are BCnice20 kernels I have since day one with no issues at all, its smooth, fast and hella stable
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
sorry noob question, lol

but after i flash the wifi tether mod i get the sprint hotspot right?

is that legal???
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
The Green and Black theme is one of the Slickest out there. This lastest one is totally BA :cool: .
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
but is the free wifi mod really legal?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Does it really matter if its legal or not? The way I see it I pay for unlimited data and Sprint can't tell me what I can and can't do with the unlimited amount of data I pay for, so yeah its not like the feds are going to pay you a visit because you have a mod on your phone
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
well i see what your saying... i have unlimited too and it should be included.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jesusice:
I'm not a legal expert but that would be one effed up law. You own the phone. It's your property. The OS supports tethering by default but the carriers restrict it. Wifi tethering in itself is perfectly legal. Of course... being completly idiotic/unjust/evil has never been a basis to reject a law before so I dunno :)

I know this was an old post, but I've been out of the country for a couple of weeks and just got back (to find a nice surprise as it turns out :D) )

Did you ever get an answer to this? I didn't see one. I figured out a cludgy way to do it; it seems to be working. Let me know...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Awesome please let me know!

Htc sense

But widgets won't survive
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] AGiLiT:
OK, here goes:

First of all, I am not a dev, so my skills and knowledge are limited. I'm sure there's an easier way to do this.

Basically, I started from a zipped installation package that I found in another forum that was supposed to be installable (google 'Swype From .573 for .588' if you're interested). It wasn't installable; turns out it was written in amend, not edify. I was able to look in the zip and see the files it was pushing and where they were going.

Since I had already been testing nfinitefx's Test Leak Speedy_S_Sprint_WWE_2.72.651.2 ROM, which has the Swype in it, I flashed that onto my phone (I hope there's no harm, no foul, in mentioning his ROM in this thread. :) ) I guess you could do the same with any of the test leak ROMs that have the Swype included.

Next, I pulled all the files that I could find that matched what was in the installation package; not all of them were there.

I then reflashed one of the MikShifted-G ROMs (the 2.1_Remix, in my case), recreated the appropriate directory structures, copied the appropriate files over, and rebooted (just to make sure.)

I thought about pushing the other files I found in the installation zip in addition to what I pulled from the test leak ROM, but in the end, I decided not to. The end result seems to work just fine. No more having to change input method after rebooting!

I used Android Commander for all of this; I find it just such a helpful little tool, but I'm sure it can be done with the appropriate adb commands as well.

Here is the final directory and file layout:

Data\Dalvik-cache: Add file - system@app@Swype.apk@classes.dex

Data\Data: Create directory com.swype.android.inputmethod with the following subdirectories:
\databases;
\shared_prefs
\swypedata
\swypedata\udb

Put the following files in the new directories as below:

Data\Data\com.swype.android.inputmethod\databases\webview.db
Data\Data\com.swype.android.inputmethod\databases\webviewCache.db

Data\Data\com.swype.android.inputmethod\shared_prefs\com.swype.android.inputmethod_preferences.xml

Data\Data\com.swype.android.inputmethod\swypedata\EnglishUS.zdb.le

Data\Data\com.swype.android.inputmethod\swypedata\udb\Options.bin
Data\Data\com.swype.android.inputmethod\swypedata\udb\UserData.udb

System\lib: Add file - libSwypeCore.2.29.71.20693.so

System\app: Add file - Swype.apk

I hope this is clear enough to follow. Maybe someone with more skills could create an installable zip and make it easier.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Just uninstall with TB, then reinstall with TB. You have the app on the SD card correct? That's wht it does that. No big though, just uninstall then reinstall. Remove the widget with the message and look for the new one under widgets. Should be there.

Getting this error when trying to install rom zip from sd card

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
Re-download the files and try again. Could be a bad download?

On a side note:

I've had this hapeen many of times with my old moment. I always had to go back to stock and re-root. In our case, get the ruu stock file and go from there.

If this is bad advice please inform!

I don't know how or if this would work but through Rom manager app, you could try to reflash recovery, or maybe update your recovery with one found in the threads... I don't know if this mess up your phone, and would try it as a last resort but it was just a thought...

Going back to bone stock and starting fresh has always worked well for me... Good luck...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Saiyan_Kennels:
Ya already tried re-downloading but no go. Same problem. Sux cause I really want to try this Rom out.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
Do this manually, rom manager causes problems..

Go into recovery, BACKUP

Clear all data, clear dalvik cache (under advanced)

Go to install .zip from sd card.

Select choose .zip from sd card NOT sdcard/update.zip

Reboot

Tried that didn't work. But I figured it out. Had to format my new SD card and then the Rom took. But now it is hung up on the restart at the HTC screen. Not sure what to do now. don't want to remove battery in fear of bricking my phone. Any ideas?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Saiyan_Kennels:
Ok got it figured out.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
How long have you had MikShift? If not long then just reflash and redo your data. It might be a currupted download and you should clear data and reflash
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prince2486:
Ok thanks fixed it with a reboot

Alright I have a question. ROM is installed and everything is working slick. However I am having an issue signing into Gtalk. signed into my gmail accounts, but for whatever reason Gtalk is a no go. any ideas?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
I don't use GTalk. But I remember seeing something about it on the Mik. Just click on the link in my sig, you should be able to find your answer there. Or somebody should be able to help you. If your not already signed up on theMikMik you should. Best place for answers for Mik Roms ;) .
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
so a couple of days ago i asked the question above...

i just want to share this one article i found on phandroid today...

http://phandroid.com/2011/05/31/verizon-cracking-down-on-users-illegally-tethering-on-their-network/

Its verizon getting pissed because of pdanet and other apps, im just informing you. i don't want to make anyone mad or anything.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zrmxp95:
Yes......but the Shift is on Sprint......they don't care as much......
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
I'm not sure, but I don't believe it's that they don't care. They just understand that when they say they're plans are unlimited. It means unlimited. Spoken with more than a few reps. Who have explained that as long as your not running a server off your phone, if you have unlimited they probably aren't going to bother you. You have to really pull some high numbers for them to notice you.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
Yeah I used 6 gb of data last month, and that has been one of my lower usage months, and I haven't gotten a call or an email from sprint... It's not that they don't care, like stated above, unlimited data means unlimited data to Sprint...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zrmxp95:
Thats why I said as much.....data roaming on the other hand they will bug you about.....and I use 3-4gb a month and they don't bother me.....10 days into this month and im 2gb into it.....they let everyone do what they want to do with their unlimited data
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
Yah sprint is awesome, they have the best plans, the best htc phones, and the best ads if you ask me.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
from sprint or mikshift?

I bet the next mikshift rom won't be out for a while because everything is running pretty damn smooth

the evo 3d is rumored to come out on the 24th
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
The next Mik release of cource. Don't really care about when Sprint decides to get off there butts. Just want them to drop the EVO 3D , so HTC will finally release the source code so we can OC this bad boy again.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:

Just going to stickwith my Shift. Faster than most phones out there, even when not OD'd. Plus I need a real keyboard.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] mulhiny:
In regards to the tethering, I don't think it's an issue of legal or illegal..it's just you're breaking your contract. I highly doubt the carriers really know if your tethering or not. I imagine ATT and VZW are warning anyone with multiple GBs of data use each month. I'm sure its only a matter if time until sprint cracks down on it..personally, I'd just ignore such a letter until they canceled me.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] aamikam:
sorryn about not releasing for the shift guys... but i will soon...

im working out a few tiny things with the evo rom and once im done with those ill have an official release for the shift also.

i saw a little back some q's about free tethering... my opinion is... its probably not a big issue just cuz it has been done in the past here on xda... even t-mobile phones that has a data cap on their account have got some mods to make sure those caps will disappear...i think that if xda allows it to be on... its probably not illegal.

also, when u think about it... u can use some apps from the market to tether anyways... so its kinda the same thing.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Thank you aamikam. I've been going into withdrawl :'( . Shake. Shake. Shake. But, I don't want anything but Mik Roms. So wait it is.

As far as the tethering, like I said before. I believe Sprint understands that when they say unlimited it means unlimited :) .

will someone share with me the best kernels working with mikshift?

i was previously running x99 clocked at 1.2g... ive heard this doesn't work well mikshift but i just wanted to double check.

thanks for the help!

ps dont worry about it aamikam, your rom is already great. you get to it when u get to it
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
I use BCnice20 1.5 or 1.8 depending on my mood I guess but the 1.5 I run mostly all the time and have since the beta version of mikshift I don't think I'd ever use another kernel
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
+1 on that. Never had an issue on MikShift OC'd to 1.6 ondemand, using BCnice20 1.8 kernel. Could OC to 1.8 ondemand all day no hiccups/issues. Just smooth and HELLUA FAST :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
i can't find the 1.8ghz kernel?

will you please post a link to both

Here you go. Here's the link to the thread that gives you the info your going to need ( read the thread ) .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941728

Here' the link to thebcblends Index of Shift kernels. You have to flash the 1.5 gHz kernel first. Reboot, let it do it's thing. Then flash the 1.8gHz kernel. Otherwise weird ISH happens. Don't know why. I flashed the Sence-1.8ghz-bfq-test1.zip for the 1.8 . I used SetCPU to set it all up after. Remember to read, will save you some headaches later.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
ive read most but what are some of the issues you have incountered with this rom

EDIT: or just any issues i should know about
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
I have been reading alot and I see ALOT of issues with this kernel???

I havn't flashed yet but I am thinking about doing it sometime tonight or tomorrow morning. Will someone please tell me the main problems with this kernel, I am only flashing the 1.5ghz kernel because I would only clock at 1.2 anyway.

does the wifi hotspot hack work with it??

thanks for the help
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Used the 1.5 kernel for quite a while. Everything worked as it should. WiFi, Tether, 4G, nothing ever hiccuped. After that flashed the 1.8 kernel while on MikShift v1.1 , blazing FAST :-O . Everything worked perfect. Only reason I switched is because I wanted GB . That setup took everything I threw at it and never blinked. Can't wait to be able to OC again.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
I will say this...I have found no reason to use an oc kernel for this Rom. It's plenty fast on the stock kernel. Seems to me to be a lot of hand wringing over nothing.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
You are correct the rom is ubber fast. But, I'm a speed freak that's just me. The same reason I drive a wagon that's faster than most sports cars :)

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
Yah i have also found no reason to oc, this rom is a slick as butter but I think that I should just try the kernel out.

Also I've been wondering this for a while. Let's say I have a kernel running and I want to go back to stock. If I flash the stock kernel over it does it replace it? Or does it take up more storage in the internal?

which kernel works best with this rom... ive been to the bcblends index of kernels and there is a bunch of kernels for 1.5

2.6.32.21-smartass-oc-uv.zip

BC-2.6.32.21-build4.zip

Speedy-1.49ghz.zip

i did the build 4 one, is that the one yall are running?

EDIT: also what does the cache partition store.. its ok if i clear it right?

and ive never really bothered to know what the battery stats are... what are they exactly?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
sorry but what is GB?

also regarding my last post i am running on 1.51/245 ondemand and it is smooth as butter, this is the build4 one which is listed on xda. what is the best battery saver? just looking for tips with this rom, anything will help.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
If you crashed at 1.5gHz, chances are it's too high for your phone. Every phone is different. Also not all kernels are the same. As far as setting your profiles, I always used SetCPU. Simple to use ( but a well developed app ) , takes care of all your needs. Go to the thread for the app. It will explain the different settings. I always used bcnice20's kernels. Seemed to work best for me. FYI, no such thing as a stupid question. If you don't know ask, saves you a lot of headaches later. We're all always learning. Lot of good people hear at XDA, somebody is always willing to help.

If you're not using Touchdown, try it to see if it can make the connection; there's a free trial version.
