Root [ROM] Mikfroyo - ALL Versions

Whats a good Kernel for This ROM?
Click to expand...

Any sense based kernel will work. I use netarchy 4.3 aggressive HAVS nosbc.

Another question what version of setcpu are you using? I tried to flash 2.04 and 2.10 via cm 2.6 and it doesn't seem to install. Any ideas?

How did you install it? Did you flash from zip or use the apk?

APK for the win!
I should mention that I originallu did the apk and then backed it up with TB, and then did a restore after flashing mikfroyo :)

Yes, the zip you get from xda (I assume that's where you got it) is not a flashable zip. You can always tell by looking inside. It's just an apk and documentation. Unzip it, and sideload it like any other apk. I haven't tried 2.10, yet.
 
So far Mik's seems faster than Myn's. I reinstalled launcher pro cause I like having the five app launcher. I like the fact that I gained 100mb of internal storage space. So far so good.
 
I don't think we have the gingerbread dialer yet. Of course, you can go flash one of the beta gingerbread roms, but...

Akazabam is that the only kernel you have used with that Rom
 
I went to show off my phone to my buddy who has a non rooted evo, and I put setcpu to "performance" scaling where it just pins it at 1152, and then let him play with my phone, needless to say he was impressed lol

With myn's or mikfroyo? I've only had mikfroyo for two days, so it's the only one I've used with it. I've tried at least 5 or 6 with myn's.

Yep, good kernel. I'm not a fan of sbc. I was getting worse battery life despite the slower drain from 100%. I might give ziggy's kernel a try again. It was kind of unstable the last time I've tried, but he's had a few releases since then. It was very fast, though.
 
Does anyone know if there's a way to edit Notification Menu Power Control Widgets? I want to remove the Bluetooth widget and replace it with Data On Toggle.

3) Is there a way to have a 5 icon launcher in Mik's (ie LauncherPro in Myns)?
Click to expand...

this is coming. mik has been working on it. he posted beta trial version of it this morning. no idea how it went, that thread is too hard to keep track of. it goes like 50 pages a day. but it is coming, just check the first page every now and then to see if its out.


stevcha said:
Not totally crazy about the theme. Any others besides the stock and flat black?
Click to expand...

he is working on a white version and then 4.4. he said he will be cranking this out before he goes back to school and also said to look out for a couple more color options.

Gingerbread dialer. I want it to match the gingerbread keyboard I flashed
Click to expand...

yeah I have been wanting the aosp dialer on a sense rom forever. I don't think its going to happen tho. I've see a black skinned gingerbread dialer (think its gingerbread), look in the nonsense rom. I tried to pull it out, but I have no idea how to install it.

I made a request for it in the mikfroyo mods and add ons thread. i'm not sure if eric thinks its a no go or if it got over looked. ask for it here [MODs/ADD-ONs] 4 MikFroyo ReEngineered Sense - xda-developers
 
stevcha said:
This won't alter the mikfroyo theme of the menu will it?
Click to expand...

nope, mikfoyo uses a themed version of this on the rom. so all of the icons are already on your phone. following these instructions just changes witch ones you use.

edit: don't flash anything from that thread, just use the instructions to change the widgets.
 
Yes, sorry, I should have specified more clearly. All you need to do is add the widget.txt file and put what you want in it, and you're done. There are several modified versions throughout the thread. You probably don't want to flash any of those.
 
Gotcha. Created the widget.txt file I want and will drop it in as soon as my nandroid backup is complete.

If you use root explorer, don't forget to check permissions after you copy it. You may need to grant user read permissions or it won't do anything.
 
Does astro file manager have root access? I'm trying to move the widget.txt file to system/customize and its not letting me.
 
I haven't used astro in a long time, so I'm not sure. Whatever file manager you use needs the ability to mount /system as rw (read write). By default, I'm sure astro can't. I don't know if there is an option to or not. Root explorer is the most common. EStrongs has an option to do it, but it's not very well supported.

You could always use the terminal emulator. Where is the widget.txt file? On your sdcard somewhere? Just for purposes of explanation, I'll assume it's just /sdcard/widget.txt. You sould be able to do the following from the terminal (assuming you have busybox):

su
cp /sdcard/widget.txt /system/customize/
chmod u+r /system/customize/widget.txt

If that last command doesn't work, try:

chmod 464 /system/customize/widget.txt

I don't know if you've ever used the command line much, but you will get no output from the above commands if they worked. To verify it worked right, type this command:

ls -l /system/customize/widget.txt

It should return a line with that file and some other information.

For some reason its not copying the widget.txt file over. The output I get is that the system is read only. I downloaded busybox and installed via market.. Do I need to install it to a specific path?

You're getting that error in the terminal emulator? What exactly do you mean do you need to install to a specific path?
