[2/28/2012] - MikG v3.1 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0

If you have any problems or questions, go to Original thread: [ROM] - [MikRoms] - [2/28/2012] - MikG v3.1 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0

Ok guys... this is probably the most complete sense 2.1 + sense 3.0 rom there is out right now... but feel free to correct me if im wrong...

1st... huge thanks to misifit for getting these shift ports starting, also thanks to virus for his huge contribution to all port that are running around here on xda.
2nd... huge thanks to Jade for paying attention to some new things that kept on coming.
3rd... huge thanks to RC-team and romanBB for their original version of tweaks.
4th... huge thanks to pvy for the Miui like battery bar settings app and mod (i added it to tweaks instead of a stand-alone app)
as always thanks chingy for his debloater addons to tweaks and to mcluvin for the graphics and of course huge, huge, huge props to seo and snq- that made sure a lot of the sense 3.0 apps can be used with sense 2.1.

v3.1: (MD5 - aed26625747d6b9c79bd611b6a856172)
Merged whatever i could to new code from shift 2.3.4 and evo 2.3.5 OTA
Updated whatever dirvers i could from shift 2.3.4 and evo 2.3.5 OTA
New RAM tweaks
New DB defrag tweaks
Fixed longpress tabs fc
Fixed mms compression
Added more apps to MikApps tab
Added Swipe to remove notification
Added more systemui icons (Sprint Lovers, thanks to autogeek)
Added SONY Bravia engine (should improve images and videos)

Repacked all apks with more ideal compression ratios
Updated all market apps (FB, Flash, Maps, etc.)
Updated Sprint VVM
Updated Maxthon
Updated Busybox to 1.19.4
Changed SDCard read ahead to 512 since it seems that 720p video recording only works good under that speed.
Now using new evo 2.3.5 OTA stock kernel by def.
Overall bug fixes and performance improvments with a couple of extra perks.
Flashing this rom WILL WIPE YOUR DATA make sure u backup what u need if u need! (mms compression fix req. a full wipe)
* For Themers (general changes from v3.00)


v3.00: (MD5 - 0e5ff2ef1adcd8167c87b8aac2950415)
Please fully wipe coming from the beta or v2.xx!!!
Updated Market (v3.4.4)
Updated all market apps (FB, Flash, etc.)
Updated Maxthon (v2.3.9)
Tweaks:
Transition/Window Animations Speeds
System Font sizes
Debloater (use at your own risk since there is no reverting option yet)
3 different Lockscreens changeable on the fly (honey/vanila/htc)
Tons of fonts to choose from
All Htchub apps/widget/skins downloadable (so u wont have to login to htc hub to get it)
Various bootanimations
Various volume rocker sounds
Softkeys light tweaks (on/always on/off)
Various Auto brightness settings
Rosie 5 rows and semi-trans BG
Inverted drop menu and semi-trans BG (SystemUI)
SD Card read ahead speeds (default is 2048kb)
KB with no arrows - on/off switch
BatteryBar (like Miui)
Screen on with volume button
Take a picture with volume button
All the tweaks from 2.xx and a lot more... the list is long...
For Themers (general changes from v2.xx):
A lot have changed and moved around from v2.xx.
Some apps file names have been changed to work with the debloater app
Some apps from data got moved into /system/app/ for the same reason as above (and to save more room on data)
You must re-theme SystemUI, Rosie, framework-res, Settings, HTCCamera, and i hope i didnt leave more out
Bootanimation file names have changed
I think it goes without saying that a lot of smali files got changed (framework and system apps)
Known Bugs:
Long pressing on tabs to remove them will not work.
I had issues keeping the bounce overscroll and the tabs working together so i decided that it is an "OK" bug to have since most of us never use the long press on tabs anyways and might like the bounce overscroll better.
As far as i can tell any other bug is really minor... but ill add to the list as time goes on
If its grayed out... its not a bug...

v3.0 B1/B2 [12/10/2011]
This is 100% as stable as mikg 2.61,.... and the only reason its not "official" is because tweaks are still being added.
why beta!? well... cuz i dont want u guys to start and skin things that are still in the works.

i must take a sec to thanks romanbb and rcteam for a lot of the base tweaks.
also, a huge thanks to chingy, newtoroot and mclovin for all the work on this version of tweaks.

the big diff here is that there are A LOT more tweaks... also more speed...

im not gonna list all the extra tweaks... u guys should check it out yourself, a lot of options in there and the goal is that in the end u guys will be able to skin everything from that tweak app.

FULL WIPE PLEASE!

i would like to hear feedback on the tweaks... and feel free to make suggestions.

so far in tweaks:
Animations Speeds
Font sizes
Debloater
3 Lockscreens changeable one the fly (honey/vanila/htc)
Tons of fonts to choose from
All Htchub apps/widget/skins downloadable (so u wont have to login to htc hub to get it)
Various bootanimations
Various vol rocker sounds
Softkey light tweaks (on/always on/off)
All the tweaks from 2.61
Auto brightness settings (B2)
Rosie 5 rows (B2)
Rosie Semi-Trans BG (B2)
Inverted drop menu (B2)
SD Card read ahead speeds (B2) (default is now 128kb which is the system default.... change it to whatever u want when u boot)
KB with no arrows - on/off switch (B2)
A lot more... the list is long trust me...
i plan on adding a rootexplorer for u guys... and basically lots more changes on the fly to choose from instead of rebooting to see the change... feel free to make suggestion and ask for things u would like me to add to it like kernels, full themes, a2sd commands, etc. (keep in mind that this app need to be used on sense 2.1/3.0/3.5 roms... so some stuff must be grayed out for mikg)

Im sure im forgetting 1 or 2 more tiny things... but nothing major im sure.

The theme in that last shot...I want it. What is it?

This ROM is working even better than the "Miracle" ROM I tried yesterday. Everything works, and is pretty fluid and stable.

That is the metal skin that is found in the rom. I'm not sure what wallpaper that is. I took these screenshots from the original post also.

This might be the best Rom I have ever used, and I have flashed alot of them. Thank you for a wonderful experience as this will be my new daily driver.

Latest update is very nice. This ROM gives you the best of all worlds. It's light, fast, beautiful, functional...and EVERYTHING works! I liked trying the AOSP roms, but something always seems to be broken. I think I've found a Rom I can settle on.

Downloaded this yesterday and all I have to say is wow! I went 22 hours, with moderate usage, before having to recharge the battery :)! This is my first Mik rom so I have one question: where's the wireless tether at? Or am I to assume that the Sprint Hotspot is to be used?

Hey, just a quick question. Do I really have to register on his forum before I can download the ROM?

Re: [ROM] - [MikRoms] - [6/12/2011] - MikG v1.04 - Re-Engineered

This is a damned good rom. I've been using it since 1.03 and now I'm on 2.1. This is the most stable of the hybrid 2.1/3.0 ROMs out there that I have found. I've flashed three or four at this point and this one is the most solid. Once Synergy comes out of closed beta with Myn's Warm theming, I might have to switch to that, but in the mean time, this is the best out there. I'm getting great battery life (76% after 8 hours at work with streaming radio and wifi connected), no FC's that are related to the OS and all the benefits of the 3.0 elements. Full HTC Hub connectivity and no Sprint Zone issues. Everything works except for HDMI as this is built off an EVO Shift build which doesn't have HDMI. I never use that anyways. I've never used a Mik rom before and I'll have to say that this is damned fast. Way faster than the OTA and anything on Froyo.
