I just appreciate the fact he tested everything. Gives more insight to all of us.

Depending on what kind of data you chose to keep there should be a way to back it up and transfer it to a ICS Rom you run. Just an idea. Not tryin to tell you what to do with your data. :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
I assume you mean uninstall. To be honest, when I delete APK files, they typically stay gone. I'll have to hand that on to someone else as it's outside what I know to do.

Understood. It's appreciated here as well. As for the data, it's primarily text data and not necessarily games. I'll eventually restore it and see if I need to save it any further. I'd like to delete it as all it does is take up space on the SD card.

FYI to Mike and community here. I don't like stepping on toes. If I came across as snarky in previous comments, that was not my intention. I appreciate the help and input on things. I'm new to this particular thread and checking through 500+ pages is sort of difficult and the computer speed and internet where I am at the moment is slower than the postal service.

[HTC EVO 3D] Sun1914:
It was all good just a few hours ago...(in my Ice Cube voice)

Flashed the rom last night at everything was fine...this morning while using MyBack to restore all my app Apk's and sms/mms the phone froze 2 and reboot itself. Not the end of the world just thought I would mention incase its something that has happened to others or its something I shouldnt be doing...

thanks for the work Mikey.

ps. saw 2 other files in the MeanRom folder besides the kernel...recent and something else. Do I need to flash those when I flash the kernel? Hell, is there really any need to flash the kernal??
[HTC EVO 3D] Adanedhels:
OK so is it possible to install leedroid base I.e. not in a theme and not have the system boot hang? I really like the options leedroid brings to the table.

Thanks for any help,

Did you flash 2.6 then flash 2.89 kernel? Bc if not stock vm kernel is included in 2.5 and 2.6
[HTC EVO 3D] PrinceKagato:
Finally upgraded to 2.6, glad to report everything is working great so far. No boot loops or anything and I am still on HBOOT 1.5 S-ON.....Mikey as always you are the man. Big thumbs up! MeanROM brah!
[HTC EVO 3D] cash525:
Hey ramjet73, Do u think it's possible to edit files in eng hboot or 1.4 hboot to say 1.58 to trick 2.89 kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] tran1981:
Yes I first flashed 2.6 then flash 2.89 kernel. Make sure you flashed the firmware from stock first to get hboot 1.58.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sun1914:
Not sure if you were asking me or not but answering anyway.

I flashed this Rom over Drops's ZD3X Rom after a full wipe and super wipe.

Here is what my phone reads after flashing 2.6

Not yet, but I still plan to. Waiting on a few more planets to align, but it is coming!

Updated MeanROM...check

Custom kernel available...check

ICS Odexing...check

Updated Ice Creamed Supreme...pending

Updated Leedroid...pending

Updated Supercharger scripts...pending

We're about half way there! If anybody has any useful/awesome mods they've tested and want included, just let me know! Glad to see this thread back in action!

On a side note, I've had a tutorial for Apex Launcher - Light Speed up for a while. Hit up www.dimedroidhq.com for the skinny!
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
The books come with the ROMs as part of the HTC Reader app (at least I think it's that app). Most devs delete them- guess Mikey hadn't gotten to it yet. So, in the meantime, enjoy some classic literature and expand your knowledge. :D

Should I be embarrassed to say that I'm currently running drop's GB ROM? It's speed and battery life are unparalleled (although I plan to try yours and this one soon).

Im s-on 1.5 unlocked, can i still flash the pg86 firmware?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I don't believe so. Let's see if I have this straight :D. Since you are s-on, you have to relock the bootloader, run the ruu, take the ota, then unlock again using HTCdev. See this post by Ramjet, especially the s-on part: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29764326

I recommend you get s-off first because then you can just flash the zip. You can also easily revert the hboot back if you choose.

So i couldnt flash using bootlader to load it and pressing volume up?

I think you have to be s-off to do that.

I've heard that LeeDroid Tweaks don't work with the new base yet. In fact, almost all the tweaks need to be...well tweaked.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Thanks for the update.

It's interesting that your bootloader shows "relocked" after doing the 1.4 downgrade to get S-OFF. Those of us that did the wire trick show "locked" when we are not running one of the custom bootloaders.

[HTC EVO 3D] white stormy:
it may be a bad EQ to you, the music you listen to, or the equipment you use. EQs let you make adjustments to accommodate these factors. i personally use different settings for my car stereo, and my headsets i use at work and at home. i like beats on one headset but not the other. its all about preference.
[HTC EVO 3D] bpc4209:
Is Swype going to be fixed? or is that something wrong with the OTA itself? Running the BETA now but just wondering...
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I doubt it. I'm still trying to figure out what impact the hboot version has when running the android OS and recovery, but there must be something because 4EXT goes into safe mode after a different bootloader is flashed until cache and dalvik are cleared. My guess is that there are some low level functions like writing and erasing partitions that still depend on the bootloader when running in the other modes, which may be why the new Sprint ICS base really does need one of the more current bootloaders.

---------- Post added at 06:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------

No, not with S-ON. You would need to do what coal said.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] NineInchNails:
Not at all man. Love drops Roms and why I used his ICS Rom as my base for DX.

Wanna know a secret? I still have GB MeanRom 4.5 on a boot manager slot.. been awhile since I booted to it and probably won't now that I updated.

You need to be S Off to do that as coal says. That's the benefit of S Off. Let's say you really bork something, removed the recovery by accident for an example. You can find the stock RUU in a zip, rename it, place in root of sd card then boot into bootloader and it can save a pretty messy situation. Another example is my USB port on my shooter is bad. It charges the phone fine but connecting to my laptop it doesn't see it. (No, not missing drivers, I'm not an idiot) Even in Linux. So I know its hardware. How could I revert back to stock and run the RUU for whatever reason if my USB doesn't work? By having S Off that allows me to do the steps I listed and save the device by RUUing off the sdcard. Make sense? Hope I explained that good enough.
[HTC EVO 3D] xxlarge:
Ok please don't flame me, but here goes...And yes I've read alot of the 500 plus pages of this post. I'm currently on MR 2.4 hboot 1.4, which rocks btw...thanks Mike. Someone please explain the benefit of upgrading to 2.6....is it faster, more stable, new features, better signal, faster data? I've read about 20 pages of how to upgrade, but where are the pages of why to upgrade? Someone please post some screen shots, maybe a quadrant or a speedtest. I appreciate all mikes hard work though....
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
1. Yes, there is a difference in the kernels because the newer one requires the updated firmware. Any change in functionality has not been identified yet, and that may have to wait until source is available for the new stock kernel.

2. No. The current version of Leedroid Tweaks for ICS (4.3.1) is not compatible and needs to be updated with the system files from the official Sprint ICS release.

Seems as though I cannot use native screenshot. I'm on Aug 3 (2.6) release running anthrax kernel 3.0.4. Anyone else having this issue/got any solution?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Just did a native screenshot (Power+Home) on MeanROM ICS 2.6 and it worked fine. Might be that your power button is getting a little flakey as is often the case since it get used a lot.

[HTC EVO 3D] guycan:
What hboot are most u guys on mean 2.6 did u upgrade to the new hboot and flash the kernel in the folder. Cause I'm still on 1.4 and would like some advice if I should upgrade or just stay at 1.4 and continue to just flash just the Rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
I just took the plunge. Update the bootloader. I was 1.4 and S-OFF via Revolutionary. Bootloader now shows locked, however, root and S-OFF kept. ROM running very well, especially after I stripped all apps and widgets I don't want or use.

I am running the 2.89 kernel. Native screen shot works for me.

Ramjet, could it be that the user is using the Anthrax Kernel?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Based on feedback in this and other threads, hboot 1.4 doesn't flash the new kernel correctly. I've tested the 1.04 ENG bootloader and it doesn't either. Mike has baked in the VM leak kernel that does work with hboot 1.4 and put a .zip file to flash the new kernel in the MeanROM-ICS folder on the SD card, but other developers may not be as considerate of users not on the current hboot. If you plan on running only ICS ROM's in the future I would recommend upgrading to the new firmware, including hboot 1.58, since it seems to be compatible with all versions of ICS.

this has probably been answered by now (tough to keep up with this forum) but I had the same issue and after flashing leedroid tweaks I got back whatever I needed. Now if there were extended quicksettings on this rom on the previous versions and thats what you're talking about...well then my bad
[HTC EVO 3D] Lrod0175:
I have the same and I flashed it with no problems, I use 4ext smartflash on, if you don't have 4ext recovery, get it, its worth it.

Open the 4ext recovery app, choose recovery, install zip, choose the meanrom zip u wanna install, select install now, then u gonna have a screen with the wipe options. Make sure u do a complete wipe, then choose reboot now and let the app do its thing, it will install the kernel as well.

There is no need to flash the vm firmware, 2.17 works fine with ics, I have installed all the ics roms including deodex versions and newt's sense 4 Rom with 4ext app and I had no issues, so for those on hboot 1.50 this app is a most, you can do all your flashing and wiping from the app, the app will take care of the rest for u.

Make sure you're flashing the right one, you can't use the one you used on the other Mean Roms. There's a different one for ICS.

[HTC EVO 3D] grr8xtc:

I keep seeing people talk about rosie 4x4... What is that?
[HTC EVO 3D] ngosine:
on the home screen you can have 4 rows and 4 columns (4x4) with the rom stock (w/o leedroid tweaks) you can have 5 rows and 4 columns (5x4) = more app space
[HTC EVO 3D] pennfire38:
believe it or not, I already had the ics version on my sd card. My bad, lol, I got so much sh*t on my sd card, sometimes I forget what I already got. thanks for the help.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flak:
Not sure what's going on with my phone, but even in v0.5 and a clean flash I'm still having the problem where restart is turning my phone off instead of restarting.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That's the number or rows and columns of icons possible on each home screen (before any large widgets are added). Mike defaults it to 4 columns by 5 rows (4x5) in MeanROM, and Leedroid Tweaks defaults to the 4x4, the same as HTC Sense stock.

The funny thing is that some people want to change it back to the stock 4x4 instead of MeanROM's default (possible via a .zip in the MeanROM-ICS folder on the SD card), and others want to return it the MeanROM default of 4x5 after Leedroid Tweaks is installed (not possible at this time). :)

Swype and other things

Swype: It works for me. Here's how. I deleted the APK in the \system\app folder. I've already had a FREE username and password for swype.com. I downloaded their installer and downloaded the app. Just tested it and all works fine.

Other things I've notice. My battery life has DRAMATICALLY improved. I measure mine in actual usage, meaning the screen on. I don't include standby time because most phones do standby forever and a day. So......on the old ICS ROM I was running, 1 hour and 30 minutes would cost me 80% battery life. I haven't fully charged the phone yet and on 42% have gotten 1 hour and 15 minutes (went from 49% to 7% and still hanging on).

Also, with the radio update: my 4G signal is considerably stronger. At my job, I consistently got one or no bars. I now have a solid two (but, not the elusive three).

Smooth ROM and hopefully LeeDroid tweaks come later so I may apply the Ultra Smooth Rosie tweak.

VERY please. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, I saw some posts earlier about people running the new kernel successfully with the new firmware and the JuopunutBear custom bootloaders, but haven't tested that myself. Are you running the GB version (1.50.5050) or the VM leak version (1.57.5757)?

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------

Just tested that combination and the native screenshot function still works.

The interesting thing is that the Anthrax 4.0.3 kernel didn't flash properly with the new firmware and kernel in place and I had to boot into MeanROM ICS 2.6 and use Flash Image GUI. Might be a problem with 4EXT.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That's still listed in the changelog on the OP, so I think Mike included it in the 2.5 and 2.6 versions. I don't want to speak for him, but most of the mods he does are ones he created himself so it's much easier for him to incorporate then into new builds. That's one advantage of not baking major mods like Leedroid Tweaks into the base. If that's true, Mike may be able to tell you what .apk(s) you can move from his ROM to a stock ROM to get that feature, assuming your stock ROM is rooted.

One possible exception to this is the coolexe camera and music mods. Although beats was added in 2.6, I don't think the coolexe mods are available for the 2.89 build yet, but maybe Mike can address that as well.

So can this be flashed on hboot 1.40 without having to upgrade to hboot 1.58?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, if you use the kernel baked into the ROM which is the VM leak stock kernel.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] bambamishere:
From OP

Before you Install, prepare:

This ROM installs as the full 2.89 base except for the kernel: the default kernel is the 2.17 kernel so that it will boot for everyone

Included 2.17 kernel will work for s-on (HTC unlocked) and any hboot from 1.4 up

If you want 100% 2.89 base, the 2.89 kernel is included in the MeanROM-ICS folder on your SD card

Do not flash the 2.89 kernel unless you've upgraded your hboot to 1.58 s-off or you will get boot loops!

To upgrade to 1.58 hboot, see the OP in this thread and yes, if you're 1.4 s-off you'll stay s-off but with 1.58

If you have any trouble at all, do a super wipe and then install the above firmware and this ROM

Go to "Menu", "Settings", "Power" and UNcheck "Fast Boot". When you reboot or power off the phone, you really want it to reboot/power-off. This can save you a lot of headaches.
[HTC EVO 3D] pork salad:
Thanks, I still had the leak kernel somehow, I flashed again and I've got the Sprint kernel now.
[HTC EVO 3D] spycom773469:

I then upgraded the firmware, radios, and the hboot to 1.58 and everything works perfectly.
