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

Has anyone noticed receiving pics through MMS not working? I get voice mms just fine but no pics. Haven't tried sending any and didn't see anything over on his site.
 
yeah i think my top two devs teams are the ones who create mik roms and kings roms. both devs teams are amazing. very nice looking rom.
 
Man...as much as I love this ROM, for some darn reason it feels a little sluggish to me. I know I know...this ROM is supposed to be a little speedier. Running apps, i.e. Facebook, Words With Friends, etc. appear to take longer to load...almost a little laggy. I'm on the 1.02 version and have the newest radios as well as the kernal that came with the ROM. Is there anything I need to check/fix to see what's causing my sluggishness?

Thanks!
 
i would use setcpu and use a custome kernel like netarchy toastmod then you can overclock to 1150 or so. here is a guide to setcpu:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/210253-setcpu-guide.html. to me sense has always felt sluggish, but mik's and king's sense roms are usually pretty fast. as far as apps go that are making things sluggish you can use spare parts or task killers and see what is running in the background. but usually apps and such will not make the rom sluggish unless you are running out of memory.

I'm using SetCPU w/ a screen on/off profile for better battery life. I was previously using the 'On Demand' and now the 'Performance'. I didn't want to flash a custom kernel yet until it's deemed completely safe (unless it is...is it? LOL!). I have always been a big Mik fan as his ROMs have always been quick for me. Not sure what's going on. I'll continue to dig and try to find out the issue.
 
you can flash a custom kernel if you like. should be safe with this rom. you may have some brightness issues, but i think you should be good to go. just make sure to make a nandroid first before you flash. that way you can just go back if you have any issues. also i would switch to smartass with only a screen off profile.
 
You can use a custom kernel but until netarchy releases a new kernel you could have brightness issues and you will get a whitescreen on cameras.

i have been watching for a new kernel based off this official HTC kernel bit jave yet to see one so please post links if ya got em.


Also....6 hrs on 1.02 with new radios and my ext battery is at 80%...
 
Been playing around with this ROM all day, its great... I cant help but notice certain apps like Pandora have become completely useless after getting on this rom, tho Pandora sucked anyway. One tip I will let everyone in on is that to get the most battery life turn off all animations in settings, I updated to v1.03 just now and even after the update my battery was sucking big time, but almost instantly after turning off all anomations my battery seemed better.

Still testing it out but i noticed that near 45 minutes of heavy usage (since im still tinkering) my battery only dropped 1%... That's amazing to what I'm use to seeing. I'll do an update on battery life after a good day or 2.
 
LOVED this ROM too! Only problem I had was the battery usage. With light usage of 3G and Words with Friends (no phone calls, no sms, only radio was 3G) my battery dropped like a rock. After 3 hours of light use, I was down to 50% battery. Needless to say, I restored my Nandroid of Koni's Elite with the Netarchy kernel.

Might try the radio update in the ROM link on XDA like others suggested here (on 2.15.00.11.19 right now), just petrified about bricking my phone :D Other than that, just waiting patiently for a GB compatible Kernel to come out.

If you do the radio update, make sure you have 50% battery at least and don't pull the battery if you think it is taking a while. Start it and walk away for a bit. I did mine the other night and it seemed to take forever watching it.

Would you recommend flashing the new radios or going back to the 1.77 set?

I'm still using the 1.77 but what you may check is to see if your phone is staying awake. You can check in menu, settings, about phone, battery, scroll to the bottom and if the numbers are the same then flash the 1.77 PRI
 
Up time is at 14 hours, awake is only at 1. Guess I will try to flash the new radios tonight to see if I can get some better battery life with this ROM.

Thanks again!
