Root [ROM] - [MikRoms] - [11/23/2011] - MikG v2.61 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0

Granite1 · Jun 26, 2011

O and one more thing, I finally flashed over to 2.1. Much smoother than 1.4 imo. The jerkiness when switching home screens is almost entirely gone. Only when syncing all, or just after boot does it get choppy.
I can live with that.

Heads up, 2.15 is out, it supposed to have the Sense 3.0 Camera and a few bug fixes.

Edit: here is the changes:

v2.15:
FIxed wireless N support
Fixed HtcWeatherWallpaper
Switched Camera app to Sense 3.0 app with working 720p, Panorama, HDR, etc.
Updated Maxthon Browser (full change log to this maxthon's version is on themikmik)
Updated Netflix apk
Updated Facebook
Updated DSPManager
Dalvik Heap size set to 48mb by def.

How is battery on the new build? I ran 1.04 for about a week and was not impressed.

realistically its going to be similar to a stock evo.

your on an aosp rom with a custom kernel... there are no custom kernels out for a sense gingerbread rom yet. so it should be similar to stock depending on how you set it up.

LOL I feel your pain, I just updated mine the other night and got it exactly the way I like it.

Does anyone know if this requires a full wipe or is it just an update?

ocnbrze · Jun 26, 2011

i will update the rom/kernel sticky in a bit.

Mr. Ed · Jun 26, 2011

lol..I was just popping in to say I flashed 2.1 last night and that it was running well...only to find that 2.15 is out haha. I may stay with this...I don't seem to be having the camera bug

battery still drains like a sieve though.

jericko · Jun 26, 2011

If you have not flashed 2.15 yet, I would wait as it sounds like 2.2 is coming out in the next day or two.

ocnbrze · Jun 26, 2011

shishhhhhhh, ok so i just added mikg 2.15 to the rom/kernel sticky

I'm not having too bad of a time with the battery. Have setcpu with the 245/245 screen off profile running, works fine for me. I can get a wholle day no problem, 16-18 hrs with some left over.
Not nearly as good with Netarchy, but good enough for stock. :rolleyes:

Damnit! I missed the updated version by a mere couple of hours...

How are you guys deleting photos? I can't for the life of me figure it out. I've tried menu, holding down on the pic.. (all from gallery).

I've resorted to using es file manager.

(by the way... what is Maxthon? I'd like to guess it's some sort of 'running/marathon workout' thing, but not likely... lol)

ocnbrze · Jun 26, 2011

maxthon is a web browser. i'm about to flash 2.15 now. or maybe i should wait for the next nightly to come out. lol

maxthon is a very nice web browser which works great with mik's Rom lo

Deleting a picture: Right after you snap a pic, there is a garbage can on the side of the screen. Tap it before it goes away and the pic is deleted. If you wait, you have to tap the gallery and delete it from there.

It is that quick tap that got me. I snapped 5 pics then deleted the 5th. On 2.15 I snapped 1 pic, pressed the trash can icon, and it rebooted. I don't think it's the number of pics but it is definitely something happening when a picture is deleted.

For 2.15, I used Amon, wiped data, cache, and dalvik manually. I then ran vr superwipe. There is no freaking way the camera bug is from something residual. I even had a brand new class 6 8GB card installed because I thought my SD card might have an issue...

I know exactly what u mean, I did about 3 full wipes and the camera issues presented itself in all versions of this rom i tried. But because I thought it was an issue with the ROM itself I tried out Fresh 4 since he has the stock camera in his. Same dark image quality, I didnt try enough photo shots to see if it'll reboot but I went hack to MikG since the issue doesnt seem to be ROM related.

I could be wrong, but I'm almost starting to think its an issue with Gingerbread itself on our EVOs. I NEVER had these problems on any 2.2 rom I had until I started using 2.3 ROMs.

Oh and I did ask Mik about this and he knows what I'm talking about and said that he'll try to work on the issue, I know it won't be easy to do but I appreciate that he's even looking into it.

I'm waiting, just got 2.1 setup, I can't keep doing this every day or two.

I would stay on 2.1, I am having some issues with 2.15 that I did not have with 2.1 such as apps doing a forced closed. I saw in the mikforums that he rushed this out and does not consider it a official release as its not even posted on XDA.

Agreed. And yes i did notice that some things broke in 2.15 that wasn't an issue in 2.15, although I know it wasnt an official release I got a little fed up with everything FCing. I am back on my old, dependable 2.2 Fresh 3.5 nandroid. Camera works fine, netflix works fine, no fc in the browser, no VM fc, it all just works. I'll be on this for at least a week or 2 since i will be on vacation soon and will need something more solid. Flipz new gingerbread build is too stockish and also has the camera bug with dark photos, it just doesnt FC/reboot though.

Granite1 · Jun 27, 2011

I haven't had one reboot since I started using this Rom. Even way back on 1.4. Yeah way back on 1.4, like last week.

MAKOKILLER · Jun 27, 2011

ok noob rom question... I want to try this mikg rom, but have never flashed a rom, but have read a ton on how to do it. I am rooted with 2.2 froyo, do I need to unroot? or can I just flash this rom and be good to go?

ocnbrze · Jun 27, 2011

no need to unroot:
1.make a nandroid backup
2.wipe dalvik cache, cache and data( i would also download the vr superwipe you can get it in the rom/kernel sticky)
3.flash rom
and you are good to go.

MAKOKILLER · Jun 27, 2011

thanks buddy.. trying out your advice

wish me luck...
