Root [ROM] MidnightRom: Sense 1.5.4

Seems like update 1.2.0 had the highest benchmarks. Might just be because of the kernel (3.1.8a), but I'm not sure how to keep the current version of the ROM and go back to that version of the kernel. Definitely seems more stable now, but those benchmarks make my pants tighter. Not that it really seems to have any practical value.

Hi, been using the ROM for a week, run pretty smoothly. Thank you a lot!

One question is, I am S-ON, what am I missing with this ROM? Can I still overclock?

Thanks.
Yes, You can still overclock even on S-ON, because I am S-ON as well. Im currently overclocked to 1.5 GHz and its working like a BEAST!
There is a app built in called "No-frills CPU Control, use that app to overclock your device."

should i flash something? like a dual core something, i got 3900+ after tims tweaks with the root stock rom
That's a little bit better, I would try to re-flash the ROM, and do the steps over again if you really want the 4000+ benchmark. if not then you should be good because 3900 is still fast. (remember if your re-flashing the ROM, Do the steps, by that I mean Factor Reset, and wipe cash and Dalvik cash before re-flashing)

First of all THANK YOU DEV. Iinstalled this ROM and everything seems to be working great. I did not perform s-off.

I now want to install 'Google Now' on my newly rooted phone but in all the threads I have found the link to the install .apk is deleted or invalid. Could somebody PLEASE point me to the latest Google Now install files (I believe the 'mikey_6' version) and provide a very brief instruction on how to install it - do I use 4EXT?

THANKS!

EDIT: I will answer my own question.

Install the v6 using 4EXT - device rebooted and Google Now is rocking!

THANKS DEV!!!

New version inc. Been running it for a few days now. No reboots whatsoever

1.2.6 9/6/2012 (Latest)
MD5:c89022c77f4bcd86b6b49fd05f3e5aa8

-Update to kernel version 3.2.9r
-Fixed some postboot scripts
-Updated firmware and module files
-Updated goomanager
-Updated titanium Backup

Great!

I just installed 1.2.9.5, can I just update as decribed on Page 1:

The included goomanager app automatically notifies you when there is a new ROM update! It uses virtually no memory at all, and updates can be downloaded directly from within the app!

Will it erase my newly installed apps etc ?

THANKS!

New version is up!

WiFi doesn't work did factory reset and deleted cache and dalvik
Try the new version. Remember to wipe absolutely everything (except sd card) in recovery.


ive been using this rom for a couple day and im confused which music player to use. it comes with the htc player with beats audio and htc surround sound..and the google play with dsp manager.. which one sounds better? for this rom
Well, it's up to you really. If you like using beats, then use htc player. If you have all your music on the google music servers, then that and the dsp manager would be best ^_^


I have a question... Dose this still use both cores???
Yup! Sure does!

As long as you flashed the boot.img, then you should be all set!

Great!

Nope! It will not. It will just tell you that there is a new version available, and you can download it within the app.

Do you mean the update wont erase all my apps or the update wont install and keep intact my apps from the currently installed version (I need to start from scratch)?

Im hoping I can:

Downlaod the new rom
Use 4EXT to launch and reboot
On reboot, all my stuff is still there.

True?

Sorry for all the questions :)

What you're referring to is a "dirty flash", and I always try them first when a new update to a ROM is available.

However, if you experience weird problems, the easiest and most effective fix is just to wipe everything (except your sd card) and start fresh.

Use Titanium Backup to back up your apps and data, then restore what you need when you flash the new rom. Make sure you restore data sparingly, and NEVER on system apps, because that can lead to more problems. But even if you don't restore any data at all, it beats searching through the playstore for everything you need.

Doing a full wipe isn't a big deal after the first few times you do it :p
