[ROM] - [02/06/2011] - MikFroYo v4.5 - ReEngineered Sense - Still Fast.

[amikam]

OK... so after a lot of work it is finally done and hopefully u guys wont find any bugs cuz this time there should be no bugs.

Since there has been so much changed from my last versions i decided to make a new thread for this one.

Thanks goes out to all the devs for any android device out there.
Special thanks to Stalebread (custom animations), Calkulin (usb tether hack/MMS fix), Burst (apktool), Konikub (detox theme), Kingclick (Kernel), Jesusfreke (smali/baksmali), dsixda (Kitchen), JsChiSurf (Power control widgets mod), Myn (Rosie Setting app and more), XxXViRuSXxX (for a lot of things from his z port), ericwgarza1 (for his work on mods for this these roms), beatblaster (for his TBA Blue theme for this rom), chingy51o (for lots of help with the flat black theme), all the beta testers (wmdunn, tonwarr.the.incredible, protoadies, and more), and many many more that i probably left out cuz i forgot (there are really too many)

Special thanks to wrx4me for his great work on the BootAnimation.

Has made a quick video review of v4.4 of the ROM.
Check it out HERE
(Thanks to djR3Z for making the video review)


Has made a quick how-to and a review of v4.4.
Check it out HERE.
(Thanks Zedomax for making the video review, he also give u guys some tips on how to get out of a contract and some money making ideas... for those who wish to do so anyways)

All the packages have been zipaligned and all images/apks have been optimized using PNGOUT and Optipng for maximum optimizations.


This ROM is a completely rebuilt HTC Sense ROM with approx 99% of the packages completely optimized and recompiled by me to give u all the fastest HTC Sense ROM you ever saw, GUARANTEED.

What was done here is a combination of tweaks i've learned over time from other dev's and some of my own... all of that combined with highly optimized packages which makes this ROM system files size as minimized as it can be which results in faster loading times to improve speed and less RAM consumption to improve batt life.

I would like to add that as far as i can see EVERYTHING IS WORKING on this rom.

ok... rosie had a bug... im attaching the fix for it.

for now everyone will need to flash it... but in less than a day that issue will be fixed by default.

[SeventhGen]

Right on, Im gonna give it a go. Im boucing around mikfroyo v3, myns, sprint lovers and omjs roms.

The stock kernel is in this rom, is there any other kernel(s) you recommend? I was looking at the trickle charge kernels. Ill try them for myself anyway, I was just wondering.

Thanks for the rom.

Can't recommend any kernel yet.. I've been working hard on this Rom and the more that will follow... so didn't fully test any kernel in the last week... and probably won't get to really testing one for at least a week from now.

I will say though that anything netarchy dont like my phone... don't know why... just doesn't.

Happy Xmas and Holidays AmiKam,
Congratulation for MikFroyo V4.0
A lot of Work from What I had read.
Do you have any screen shots???
I will enjoy Android now on January,
so hope to test your ROM soon.

I would personally like to thank you for a wonderful rom. Im using your sense version of the reengineered rom, and its amazingly fast, saves a ton of battery life, and i mean a TON, i get an extra day out of my phone finally, and im a text/data hog so im usually using my phone on a constant basis, although there are a few things wrong with it, but its an overall great rom. Going to try this one as well, so far im liking the fact all the programs/services use nearly 10% of the system ram they used on myns warm 2.2 More roms need this kind of optimization. Its a breakthrough step into optimizing overall system performance, speed and battery usage. BRILLIANT!!
