Root [ROM][ACS] Koni's ELITE Series I - (ES1 - 02/04/11) - Beauty, Say Hello To Speed!!!

[frenchy714]

It's not a secret, I'm a Mikfroyo user. It's fast, responsive, boots up quickly, and blows every other sense ROM out the water (in my opinion) because of all his optimizations.....BUT, I'm not a fan of Mik's theming. When I came from Myn's, that's what I missed the most.....the endless mods and theming options available. And Koni's ELITE came along. All the optimizations and speed (Koni uses Mikfroyo's optimizations base for his ROM) of Mik's w/ awesome theming! I flashed it last night, and I'm impressed so far! Has anyone else flashed? If you're interested in flashing, here you go:

I saw this and have been thinking about flashing it, I was just wondering what of the stock apps are still there and can you change the Rosie settings?

EDIT: FIRST!!! (sorry had to do it lol)

 

[Munnarg]

I saw someone comment that it seems similar to KingsUltra which I'm using. As a matter of fact you should check out King's Ultra Unleashed. I was strictly using Myn's from RLS1 until I found King's Rom.

does look alot more attractive, do you get the same internal memory as Mik's? I have a ton of apps, and still have 290mb internal free with mikfroyo 4.5
assuming its all the same under the hood, I'll have to give it a go

I tried flashing the Calkulins FORMAT all zip and received an error "Amending scripting is no longer supported..it was necessary to remove yadiyadi ya...

The Elite zip worked. Any advice???

Yes, you must have Clockwork 3.0.0.x, which only supports edify (that being a newer update scripting language. It doesn't support amend, which is the older one. You have to flash Clockwork 2.6.0.1, which is backwards compatible, or flash any version of RA. If you have ROM manager, you should have the option to flash CW 2.6.0.1 at the top, or you can flash RA through the alternate recovery option. If you don't have ROM manager, you can install it, or you can flash a different recovery with one of these files. Once you do, you'll be able to flash the format all zip. That being said, you don't *have* to format all when switching ROMs. It's sometimes recommended depending on what you're going to/from. Also, if you flash the latest RA recovery (2.3), it now has the option to wipe /system and /boot, which was not possible before that (hence the need for the format all zip).

I'll check it out on XDA.

Man your everywhere! It worked! I think you probably figured out this is the 2nd time I had an issue with the new orange Rom Manager (3.0) I think I need to stay away from that. Not planning on going to Cynagen anytime soon.

This ROM is worth the hype. Before I get too excited..Battery life and if anyone has changed to a kernel working for them which one are they using. I must have every kernel available on my card from "the battery chase" ...

Yes. I still have 286 mb free internal memory, and too have a ton of apps.

Yep, using the kernel in my sig and my battery drained 0% (I know it drained but it didn't move in percentage).

Is all that free space you guys have with or without dalvik moved to /cache (or sdcard as the case may be)? I see in the xda thread that it does support a2sd (what doesn't these days?), but I see no mention of defaults (as in, do you have to move it yourself?).

I don't know if this entirely answers your question, but I didn't have to move it myself.

 

[akazabam]

And has it actually been moved?

 

[frenchy714]

Verifying that right now .

 

[surfologist87]

Wow that looks nice. Im going to have to read more into it when i get more time.
Thanks for posting it up

 

[frenchy714]

And has it actually been moved?

It appears that it has been moved.

 

[akazabam]

Thanks. I was just curious. I won't have time to actually flash it until the weekend probably. I'll definitely have to try this one out, though.

 

[surfologist87]

Couple questions, does it have a themed swype? I dont do themed swypes lol.
Is the gingerbread 2.3 keyboard the default keyboard?
Are there any other launcher options? I like the default, but not enough.. (also, i like sms instead of internet)
And lastly, what exactly is calks 'Format All' that you have to do?

1) It sounds like it doesn't even have swype, but if you search the thread for it, somebody posted it. Just push it to /system/app. It shouldn't be themed.
2) No idea if the gingerbread keyboard is the default, but it says it's included, so it'll be extremely easy to select.
3) It says it comes with rosie settings, so you should be able to configure the launcher. Is that what you're asking?
4) Format All will format /system, /data, /cache, and /boot. Recovery normally can only wipe /data and /cache (and dalvik, but it's sort of redundant when wiping the other two since dalvik is stored on one of those two unless it's been moved to the sdcard). So, the format all zip is a much cleaner wipe, making sure the ROM is writing over a clean slate, and not another ROM. RA 2.3 now has the option to wipe /system and /boot, but the format all zip is still faster if you have it handy.

I found out last night Koni's doesn't come with Swype. I have the .apk file, installed it, and came across FC's. So I quickly uninstalled. I like Swype, but can do w/o, so it didn't bother me. Yes, the GB keyboard is default. As for the launcher options, you can manually change the Rosie settings to whatever you want. And lastly, you don't *have* to use calks format all when changing from ROM to ROM, it is recommended but with RA 2.3 out, you have that full wipe option, which does the same thing.

EDIT: Akazabam beat me to it!

Thanks.
I was just wondering because i dont like the default keyboard and never use it anyway.
About the launcher, i wanted to know if i can flash different launchers, like on myns. I didnt much care for the launcher that is on there now.
And if that format all is ok to use every time before flashing a ROM, then i will go ahead and use it.

I'm sure there will be different launchers available for this ROM soon. It's still fairly new, so I'd give it some time.

 

[surfologist87]

Found the swype in the thread. Ill install it when i get the ROM.
Do you know why the swype apk in that thread is only 1.92 MB, while the swype i downloaded was over 10 MB? Whats the difference in the two? (The one in that thread was pulled from the OTA, while all of the beta downloads have been 10 mb.

I'm not a fan of Mik's theming.
And Koni's ELITE came along. All the optimizations and speed (Koni uses Mikfroyo's optimizations base for his ROM) of Mik's w/ awesome theming!

funny as mik's theme is based off koni's detox theme... just .. I don't know.. lol
