That's cool that you're posting on theMikMik.com now. :)

I'm going to ask anyway. Although this sort of thing NEVER WORKS FOR ME. (Never, on any android or any rom)

...Can I flash 1.8 over 1.7?....

I probably won't because like I said. It just never works out.

Dirty flash is fine. If problems clean wipe. Its in the op ;)

Hey Mikey, In 3 other roms I have tested, removing HtcLinkifyDispatcher does restore the ability to choose browser/Youtube app as well as other choices but it also broke the link to phone and GMaps within browser links completely. Can you confirm these links aren't broken in this release?
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
Thank you sir.

One problem I do have with this rom the more that I use it. I can't really replicate it. But sometimes if I use my keyboard. Or just now hang up on a call. The phone seems to become unresponsive (Nothing works on the screen. Not even the buttons on the bottom. The whole screen freezes) I have to lock the screen and unlock a couple times to fix.

Just making this note. Maybe others have the same issue. It's MeanROM related as It did it for me as well on SOS rom which is based off this rom. Which one of the reasons I actually switched from SOS to here. (Also because of battery life and phone gets hot here and there. Which is no longer an issue on this rom)
[HTC EVO 3D] CiDhed:
I would think the links would still be broken. I am downloading now but it is a small price to pay. They(phone and map text) still allow you to highlight them and copy to clipboard.

MY BACKUP PRO is awesome; the trial version is cool, but to go from phone to different phone the Pro version is great. I have backed up calls, apn, sms, mms, bookmarks from Ginger to ICS and back no issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
Well, I wish I had waited two more days for this instead of buying the Haxsync app lol oh well. It was only a dollar and well worth it.

One question, does anybody have an issue where when you press the power unlock button it will turn on for a second and flip back off? It keeps doing it over and over, eventually I can get it to stay on but it takes a while and is very annoying. And once today the screen wouldn't turn on at all, even plugging in the charger didn't wake it up. Pandora was still playing in the background but I had to do a battery pull so the screen would turn on again. I didn't have this bug on any GB roms, specifically meanrom 4.3 that I was using prior to this.
[HTC EVO 3D] brc64:
I'm going to join the folks with less than stellar battery life. I mean, it's not awful.. it's usable. I'm sitting at 44% after 12.5 hours. That said, when I was running rooted stock (Gingerbread), I'd normally be in the low 70s right now, so it's a noticeable difference.

From what I can tell, battery life seems to be great while the device is asleep, but drains like crazy when the screen is on. I'll see something like 1-2% drain per minute!

For those of you talking about kernels, what is recommended? I'm S-OFF, and it looks like I'm using an HTC kernel right now:

3.0.16-g4211684

htc-kernel@u18000-build-144 #1

SMP PREEMPT

Should I be using something else?

Again, it's not like battery life is *horrible*, but I'd like to at least get close to what I was getting with stock. It's unlikely that it's something I have installed that's causing the drain, unless something isn't playing well with ICS. I'm running the same set of apps I ran when I was on stock gingerbread. I don't mind playing the kernel game if I can get some decent recommendations.

That doesn't come out very nice. Having 1.5 is not really a choice

[HTC EVO 3D] gyrospazjohn:
As bad as that may sound, it's kinda true. There are 2 kinds of people with S-ON, those with a problem, and those that are fine. The ones with the problem have their options of downgrading, both of which are fairly easy if you actually follow the steps to the letter, but dev's can't magically pull a kernel out of their backsides for every person who's S-ON and has issues. They're not magicians, and it's not up to the dev to fix everything if a majority of the people aren't having the issue. There's only so much they can do.
[HTC EVO 3D] grindnmosh:
It is a choice and has been for a while now but we shouldn't be jerks to those that choose 1.5 and will be1.57 and at 1.57 may lose that choice. Downgrade or use jbear or pin trick. I downgraded before there was a cd and was easy now the cd does it all for you so no excuse y not but I heard good things about jbear too.

I feel sorry for the people who say battery is not on par. I have not switched from 1.5 because I can't find any problems with it. I think people having problems with bat either didn't flash correctly, have rogue apps, bad bat or just hardware differences. I am loving 1.5 and battery life, I can go all day with regular use and not charge. Something I could never do with any phone until I found Meanrom thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] zsibisi:
I know this might sound out of the old school, but I have to admit, loving this rom! I went from MR_GB 4.3 running anthrax ( as usual ) to .92 and then dirty flash up to 1.2 ( same one w/ beats ). I guess I've never had one real serious issue. Been lucky I guess bc its just as fast as running anthrax. Sure quads are way lower but still can flip through all my apps and launching is just as quick!

My mms/sms has been w/ the right time stamps and I really don't know about the pix syncing w/ facebook as I don't sync those so maybe that could be an issue as others have had. But, I'm still on 1.2 and loving it everyday. If you wish to know my set up, its in my sig and no tweaks other then the rom that it came with.

Thanx mikey for a great rom and glad I upgraded to ICS. I do wonder though, not sure if it makes it diff, but having eng h-boot 1.04 vs 1.40 might make the diff? any ideas that anyone has feel free to vent :)

sidenote: i did do one mod I did copy over the beats.apk and the fm radio stuff, battery life has been awesome and on point. The only issue I have is taking 3d pix, I will get some sketchy bars across, not a big deal bc I don't really take too many 3d pix ... just fyi ...

weird little quirk... if i reboot the phone the wifi is enabled by default... even if it was disabled before the reboot.

any way to change this?
[HTC EVO 3D] zsibisi:
Do you have your wifi settings to always? if so, its probably going to read that your in range of your router and will always connect then. I'm guessing that if you have your settings set to "always" on your wifi it will always try to connect. I'm only guessing here but even if your booted up and connected to wifi and then turn it off, and then reboot. I'm thinking that the "always" setting is "default" upon boot and it will try to connect after you do the reboot. Like I said, only guessing but you could try not to be in range of the router on your reboot and see if it still searches for an open connection?

I'll change that in the next version. For now, open /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh with Root Explorer and remove this line or comment it with a hash tag:

It's not needed any more now that I have my null-WiFi fix.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Let's be sure we are talking about the same thing. The fix was for Facebook photos working in Google Voice and other third party apps. To get it to work, just reboot one additional time after the initial (first boot) of v1.8. If that doesn't fix it, nothing I can do: it's implementing the only known current fix so if that doesn't work, there are no other options.

Mine broke yesterday. I tried something different that fixed it. I just went to apps -> Facebook -> Force Close -> delete Cache -> delete Data -> uninstall -> Reboot -> Re-install from Play Store -> Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Add Facebook -> Sync All Contacts. After the sync completed, all pics showed back up.

Edit to clarify... My pics were not showing up in People App, or Call log, or incoming callers. Did not even check 3rd party apps.

Is there some weird multitasking issue with ICS? The longer my phone runs (before I restart it), the slower it gets. It feels like it is lagging due to too many programs running in the background. Also, the reddit news app seems to open multiple instances. If it gets put in the background and I open it again it actually opens it AGAIN so I have a new redditnews app running, with the old instance still running in the background.

Any reason why this is happening?

[HTC EVO 3D] poopymonster:
Sorry for being off topic, but I couldn't find the right info using search.

Just got my 64GB SD card from Amazon and wanted to correctly partition it. I used the 4EXT Recovery Touch to partition with the following:

a) primary fat32;

b) 1GB for sd ext;

c) 1 GB for sd ext2;

Should I have given sd ext 4GB instead of just 1GB?

Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You can change the setting by going into alarms then setting and slide the volume up so you can hear the alarm. Once it's set it won't go back to silent.

[HTC EVO 3D] liferef:
I do change it manually, but by default it's silent. With the new base (1.13.652.2), it reset my alarm volume setting again with a dirty flash.

When people do a fresh install, it's probably better if the default for the alarm is to have full sound like it was in GB. It almost got me in trouble when I didn't hear the alarm. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] olghb:
I dirty flash all the time and it never defaults to silent. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] long_tall_texan:
I assume you are doing this so you can use Link2SD. If so, I would use at least 2 GB sd-ext, 2 GB sd-ext2, and 1 GB swap. With a 64 GB card, you should have plenty of space to spare. It will just give you more room to load apps to SD.

Swap file for Android systems?

Here's some info about the swap file for Android you might want to read before setting aside space for that:

Guide: Partitioning SD-Card 4 apps2sd & swap partition, the easy way.

Swap Size Benchmark Comparison

Why Android Swap Doesn’t Make Sense

The first thread seems to indicate that swap really doesn't make a difference and can actually cause overuse of the swap portion of your SD card, shortening its life. It also indicates that you won't even use the swap file unless a custom kernel is setup to use it.

The second thread seems to confirm that the swap doesn't matter much for performance no matter what size you give it, and that there are diminishing returns for anything larger than 128MB.

The article linked last explains why swap usually doesn't help for Android.

I've always used swap files on Unix and Linux systems, but I guess Android is really a different beast when it comes to memory management.

I only had the silent setting the first time after a clean install and after the dirty flash after the base change. Other than that dirty flash does retain the volume setting (high).

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
BTW, since the needed files are built into the ROM, you can easily figure out of the Facebook photo fix worked. Just do adb shell, then paste this into your adb shell window:

/system/xbin/sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db "CREATE TRIGGER unrestrict_new_data AFTER INSERT ON raw_contacts BEGIN UPDATE raw_contacts SET is_restricted=0 WHERE _id=NEW._id and NEW.is_restricted!=0 and NEW.account_type in ('com.facebook.auth.login'); END; CREATE TRIGGER unrestrict_updated_data AFTER UPDATE OF is_restricted ON raw_contacts BEGIN UPDATE raw_contacts SET is_restricted=0 WHERE _id=NEW._id and NEW.is_restricted!=0 and NEW.account_type in ('com.facebook.auth.login'); END; UPDATE raw_contacts SET is_restricted=0 WHERE is_restricted!=0 AND account_type in ('com.facebook.auth.login');"

If you get "Error: trigger unrestrict_new_data already exists", then the fix built into the ROM worked and it has already been applied. If not... well I guess you just fixed it. :)

I usually restore my DATA backup from 4ext. If there is a change on a file located in the DATA folder, I upgrade the app before running my backup, install and then restore.

Agreed, it should work out of the box but it doesn't for some. Miks rom has this built in as well but many have still had to run the script through script manager to get it to work. Our phones are very quirky! lol
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
See ChrisFSU's post above. Some of us do a superwipe and restore the data partition from the prior release rather than doing a dirty install, which would negate the fix as incorporated into the ROM. That might explain why some users have problems with the fix and some don't, and it's good that you have provided a way to fix it.

I got it to generate the .so file by manually updating Flash via the Play store and then browsing to a web site with Flash on it. Not sure which did it.

If you have the .so file, use ScriptManager to run the script with root privileges (and run at boot). Then set your UA String to Desktop, check the 'request desktop site' option, and you should be good to go!
