So far, the switch from 1.4 to 1.5 sent my battery life from excellent, to borderline terrible. Been unplugged for about 3 hours now, with slightly less than my average usage, bc I've been too busy to use it much, and it's at 52% already. And that's with me closing every running app immediately after I'm done using it, and I have juice defender running also, and power saver is turned on always.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I use it and love it. Bought the pro version since it is cheaper than Titanium Backup and have not regretted it. It has so many features that it is easily takes the place of MANY other apps.
[HTC EVO 3D] cityeyes:
Let your install "set" for a few days before you make a judgement on it.

From what I've experienced, I don't hit maximum battery life after a flash for at least a full charge/discharge cycle.

Also, I tend to mess around with my phone a lot more after a new flash, so I think that factors into it.

Of course, it could be something involving the ROM, but I've found more often than not that it was me being impatient and not letting a new flash settle.
[HTC EVO 3D] beatdroppah:
I mean yeah don't get me wrong, I understand all that. I always do that. But none of the other versions have been this terrible with battery life the day after I flashed them. In fact, 1.4 gave me the best battery life so far, and I only had it like a day, maybe 2 before flashing 1.5.

Guess I'll just let it die, and charge it tonight, and see how tomorrow goes.
[HTC EVO 3D] Osirus71:
Yea, I use it as well and love if also. My only issue is, how do you back up your test messages??? In Titanium backup, i would back up sms/mms option and work like a champ. But with rom toolbox, i backup messages, and when i restore, nothing happens. Which option do you choose to backup sms/mms with it???

Thanks...
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
Yes. I you will still be able to text. But I don't think you can send photos via text (mms). I did I on a trip to Disney world. Kept my battery near full for most of the day by turning off mobile.
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
USB data works. I use it all the time when Mikey updates a new version.
[HTC EVO 3D] yankyjz:
Nope but I think it's only a problem if my 4g is on. Can someone who had 4g test if they can download gmail attachments on 4g?
[HTC EVO 3D] cityeyes:
Ah, gotcha. I haven't tried 1.5 yet because I'm being lazy and have had no problems with wifi, so I haven't had any experience with the version. I usually just drop that bit of info in an attempt to help out, haha.
[HTC EVO 3D] beatdroppah:
Haha yeah. we'll I appreciate it. None of the 1.5 fixes pertained to me, so maybe I should have just held off. Haha oh well,
[HTC EVO 3D] P_M_G:
Is it just me or are we missing text reflow now?? I've noticed that when I zoom on text filled websites that, where before the text would adjust to the screen area, now i'm doing more swipe scrolling as the text runs off the screen.

I've noticed this on MeanICS (just flashed 1.5 from 1.3) whereas MeanROM for GB didn't have this issue and text reflow worked flawlessly!
[HTC EVO 3D] drZuheir:
Alwaysthanks to mikey.. but 1.5 seem more sluggish than previous vss
[HTC EVO 3D] jamexman:
Still the same VM one (it says "sprint" but also "VM", its the same leak). There is also an updated one but still VM. If you are referring to the new "firmware" thread by Freeza. It's still the same VM but he has tweaked it a little bit to avoid the last fiasco. No Sprint official or leak yet. I would just wait man, after last radios, boot etc fiasco, we are not that far away from the official one.
[HTC EVO 3D] freddya:
Hello Meanies, got my new to me E3D 2 days ago and jumped on getting MeanROM ICS 1.5 with no play.

New to the game with same ol questions trying to figure out whats up without bothering too much..

I have HTC Unlock, Hboot 1.5, S-On, 2.17. Have the 4EXT done the Modified Super wipe X2, Format all partitions (except SD) X2, Smartflash Enabled.

Having Boot Loop just as the lockscreen loads. Read a couple of similar posts but no solutions. Help me out meanies!
[HTC EVO 3D] daprospecta:
you have to flash Chads htcleakrls1 kernel if you have s on. Search this thread or newts ROM thread for the link. I've seen it posted several times.
[HTC EVO 3D] leenypost:
I am using the Kernel that came with the ROM and have been since v0.1 and I have s-on and hboot 1.5

No problems on my end.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Does anyone know if the included Kernel supports call recording?
[HTC EVO 3D] PrinceKagato:
+1, no problems ever kernel that came with the ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] CiDhed:
The bigger battery might be lower quality. Who makes it? For the record on the stock battery I get about 2-3pct an hour with bluetooth, wifi, gps and data on. I have 3 gmail accounts and a k9 mail account syncing. This is with light usage and no gaming or video watching. ICS has been great for my phone.

Yes, you can still get texts with mobile data off.
[HTC EVO 3D] leenypost:
Does anyone know if the included Kernel supports call recording?

Sorry for the double post here but wanted to make sure this got seen as last time I posted too soon after my initial post and it got bundled together.
[HTC EVO 3D] PrinceKagato:
The battery is a generic one from ebay. It says Galilio DPD-G14. It does last longer when I'm running the stock ROM though
[HTC EVO 3D] qskile:
A sizable number of people who were HBOOT 1.5 S-ON cannot get ICS roms to work with the leaked kernel. I don't know if anyone has figured out why this is yet.

Bottom line is that if you're HBOOT 1.5 S-ON and are getting boot loops after flashing this or any other ICS rom your two options are either using Chad's kernel or getting S-OFF (via one of the two methods outlined in this forum).

Getting S-OFF is the better option if you want more functionality as Chad's kernel has a few things not working like 3D camera and USB mount. It also gave me large battery drain but YMMV.
[HTC EVO 3D] freddya:
I have read the kernel that came with rom works. Is flashing Chads htcleakrls1 kernel something only people that have boot loop have to do?
[HTC EVO 3D] yankyjz:
The stock kernel does Have call record built in!
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Some people have said they are using 2-way call recording with the stock ICS kernel. Search this thread for "CallRecorder" as that is the app that is supposed to work.

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

Yes. For some people with Hboot 1.5 S-On the ICS kernel works fine, and for others it boot loops. This post might help those that are having that problem.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] leenypost:
Do you have the Flash Image GUI app? I always download the ROM then use that app to flash the Kernel from within the ROM to the Boot partition of the phone and immediately reboot into recovery. Then Superwipe x2 and flash ROM.. Never had a problem like that and I have hboot 1.5 and s-on just like you do.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Several people with the boot loop problem have tried that method and it hasn't worked for them. The problem appears to be phone specific, but nobody has identified why. The high powered developers are all S-Off, and don't have much sympathy for those with S-On that have the problem. With the new HBoot 1.5 S-Off method it's really not that hard, and you can always revert to S-On later if the exposure from being S-Off is a concern.

[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Just a question does ics supreme break album art and play/ track buttons on lock screen? Or is that something to work on
[HTC EVO 3D] TrofeoSC:
I think that is something that has been mentioned in the Supreme thread and the OP is looking into it.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
I went ahead and flashed just Rom and it came back. I always have bad luck when I try adding to an already great rom. I am going to stick with 1.5 plain.
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
+1 I also have noticed that my phone has not switched to 1x, even though I know my commuting bus goes thru an area that made my phone switch to 1x on Mean ROM GB.
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
Look back a day at my post had the exact same situation. I just ran the new s-off 1.5 took about 15 min after that ics ran like a champ.
[HTC EVO 3D] Eternity-3D:
only use Chads kernel if the stock does not work for you. Chad never finished the kernel, so some stuff is broken
[HTC EVO 3D] freddya:
Definitly dont want to do that then, I got the E3D becasue of the 3d stuff and from what I read that's broken in chads kernel.

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Thanks all. I am trying the 1.5 s-off but cant get through it, I'm on irc #JuopunutBear trying to get help with that. Keeps telling me seconday backup failure!!. Still at it.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
There's help in the thread for that. You need to make sure to use a stock rooted ROM, or at least make sure that the option to install programs from unknown sources is checked and that you allow controlbear su permission when requested. Search on "secondary backup" in that thread and you should find the fix. Those backups are done before any changes are made so you haven't lost anything yet.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
Make sure that you have a blank recently formatted SD card and that your giving root access (superuser or superSU) when prompted. That should get you out of that issue

Hopefully this new job will afford me the time and wifi to get to work on the next guide! I love graveyard lol
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Definitely a difference in battery life on Mean 1.5 compared to 1.4. I went from 94% to 28% in 6hrs even with juice defender set to aggressive, luckily it was a chill day or I'd be SOL. only mod I've got installed is Leedroid and there are no rogue apps because I don't have any that start on boot other than the system apps. I've seen ppl stating the battery life difference and unfortunately I have to concur. Back to 1.4, too bad I deleted my nandroid already
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
With all the battery tweaks I see in all of these updates, you'd think your phone would be able to last for weeks. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Not a single update has tweaked the battery: it's all been for performance. Besides, people are too busy trying to recover from the Virgin Mobile Virus to worry about battery. :D

I have noticed after you wake up phone it seems to take about 10 sesonds to find my wifi and lock on.

MeanRom V4.2

Dodava 0.5.2 kernel
[HTC EVO 3D] GadgetMonger:
Ive noticed this as well. It's not specific to this rom though. Every ICS rom I've used on my phone as well as my unrooted htc view has this issue. There's a setting new to these builds that is supposed to allow you set your device to turn off wifi when its sleeping, except it doesn't seem to work. Weather or not the option is checked wifi gets killed either way. Then it doesn't want to reconnect upon waking. For me sometimes it takes a reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
On v1.4 and my phone well last night. My previous post of bad sleep must have been a fluke. I guess letting the phone settle sometimes is needed. I will report back if the phones sleep patterns change. Great job Mikey as always.
[HTC EVO 3D] freddya:
Thanks Meanies, I went into superuser, forget unknown, then I got to accept the requests again. After a few tries I was drunk! Says locked and s-off. Went in to recovery, restored my backup, did the wipes, installed from zip. No loops, all good! took me a bit (long ass time reading) but I am in play!

Now no root!? I had no idea was going to need to root this rom, is it because it says locked again? Reading some more and could use some direction.. Will read more and try when I wake up. zzz
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Your WiFi will never be disabled with this ROM, so it should not be off when you turn the screen on. I posted a screen shot a while back showing constant WiFi for 20 hours (screen off most of the time). This is a problem with the ICS leak related to the power saver: a problem that I fixed. So if this is happening to you, my bet is you flashed something that overwrote my fix and brought the problem back.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] bambamishere:
Flashed just rom nothing else,wonder if it could be just the wifi icon slow and the wifi is really on?

MeanRom V4.2

Dodava 0.5.2 kernel
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
I read this post before bed and had 79% bat around 10 last night. Woke up at 7 and was at 68% WiFi on all night 1.5 nothing flashed on top and no juice defender. And I would say the Rom hasn't settled yet I flashed yesterday about 2pm

Thought I would put this up, nice slope if you ask me. Dropoff at the end is when I started posting here.
[HTC EVO 3D] Morbius_III:
Switch from MeanROM BG or ICS

Yes, if you have a NANDROID for each version of MeanROM. However, I would do a Superwipe between each flash.
[HTC EVO 3D] PrinceKagato:
I wonder if that's why I sometimes get stuck on the HTC boot screen when I am changing between backups. That's a good idea.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Anyone???
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
The dev says he has incorporated that feature in the ROM, but it could be broken if you've flashed another theme or kernel .... Maybe?
[HTC EVO 3D] jmana:
It says when updating to do a "dirty wipe", what exactly is this?
[HTC EVO 3D] Osirus71:
Give ICS Browser + a try. Works way better then stock browser and has some really cool features you might like....

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Your WiFi (blue line) seems to be on and off all the time: mostly off. Are you running juice defender or any other battery saving utilities? Or did you not select "Always" under the keep WiFi on setting? Something is screwy because the ROM isn't doing that. Either some other app is doing that or you really are losing WiFi signal.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
I have always used juice defender but did not install yesterday and currently still do not have it installed, I thought I saw bat apps could cause probs. Keep wifi on during sleep is set to "never". Wouldn't always on eat more bat? As far as losing signal I can't confirm as I was sleeping. But I did sleep at work last night and I was about 30ft from one of the access points.

I am almost at 100% charge right now and will set wifi to always on and see how it goes. I won't be charging my phone again until I get home and will have wifi all day at work.

[HTC EVO 3D] fwhite42:
Hmmm...new build? Wonder what goodies that might include. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] Bdozier:
Dirty wipe refers to installing a new rom without formatting, superwiping, clearing anything. Mike builds in a dalvik and cache wipe at the beginning and the end of the flash procedure. (It is automated.) The rule of thumb is that if you do that and you have any issues (see OP) wipe it until it bleeds.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Well, apparently some ingredients that are past their expiration date. Somethin' taste nasty. Gonna recook and retaste. :) Think I found the bad ingredient.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] Bdozier:
I have tried to search this, but I have come up empty...

I am having trouble having Mean ICS and Leedroid Treaks working together 100%. It is little things and to be honest, not earth shattering, revert back to GB issues. Really the only thing I have found so far is that on my phone, Leedroid stops the sync icon from spinning. (I know, first world problems...:) ) Also, when I select to reboot, my phone from a device with just meanrom ics 1.5, it just shuts off without rebooting itself.

Anyone experience these issues? Is there a fix? I have reflashed the rom a couple of times including superwiping x2, etc. I am hboot 1.5 and s-on.

Thanks.

Also, my signal strength on all radios seem stronger without Leedroid...
[HTC EVO 3D] Morbius_III:
MeanROM ICS v1.5

I downloaded the latest version of MeanROM ICS. I conducted a Superwipe for a fresh flash. Upon installing with no MODs are any changes to the base ROM I encountered a few problems.

Weather settings inaccessible - each attempt brings me out of the EDITS

Email ICON indicates a ghost email (wipe and reset e-mail accounts) issue is persistent

HTC screen goes white every time I go from Apps page to Home screen

Cannot change ring tones to contacts

Personalizing the Home screen does not work (adding widgets)

Please keep in mind this was not a dirty flash and no modifications were done.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I had just done a superwipe to test 1.6 (I always test my installations on both dirty wipes and super wipes before uploading them), so I tested all of the above. I don't have any of the problems you listed and I tested each one by one. So either the new 652.2 base fixed some things, or we're down to differences in hboot or recovery methods, or something not flashing right. So once 1.6 is out, do the same test on that and see how it goes. If you still get the same problems, I don't know what to tell you because no one else is reporting those.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] jhuff83:
Glad I didn't flash 1.5 yet since it looks like 1.6 is on the way out.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Calling all Meanies. MeanROM ICS v1.6 is now based on the new 1.13.652.2 base. As to what changed, all I can say is my eyes hurt! I personally went through the ~135 files that changed to determine which ones we needed and how the changes mesh with optimizations, fixes, and tweaks I've already done. While that hurt my head, and a lot of files changed, many of the changes dealt with small rephrasings in non-US language packs in APK's. While I looked at the general changes to all the files, I didn't review each individual change within each file (apk or jar) but I did run across a few interesting ones. The browser got a pretty decent update (lots of changes). MMS got a fair number too, so I had to merge my invalid-time-stamp-when-roaming fix with that (no, they didn't fix it). Another change I noticed in the framework is they tweaked what happens when you tap on white space in text views. I hope they fixed some of the flakiness that I've noticed, like with cursors disappearing, refusing to appear on certain lines, etc. Interestingly, they didn't make any attempt to fix the 12am to 7am WiFi blackout caused by hard coded crap in Settings.apk and SystemUI.apk. Fortunately those two files were not changed at all so I didn't have to re-do our "keep my friggin connection" fixes.

That's about all I know. I couldn't sleep until we got rebased to 1.13.652.2 so at least that's done. ;)

MeanROM ICS 1.6

superwipe+MeanROM ICS v1.6+Leedroid Tweaks ICS 4.3.1+restore data partition from MRICS 1.5

No problems so far.

BTW, the FM radio widget never made it into MeanROM ICS. I think Mik may have a version that turns on the speaker as well, but it's odexed in his ROM.

[HTC EVO 3D] ccw1134:
Unfortunately I might have discovered a deal breaking bug in 3rd party texting (GoSMS Pro in my case) with 1.6. I upgraded from 1.5 (dirty wipe) and found that texts that I received were coming from incorrect people. If I reboot or force close the app and go back into the list the new texts have the correct contact name associated with it. The next text I receive will have the incorrect name again. Most of us know how awkward of a potential problem this could be. I went as far as uninstalling and reinstalling GoSMS Pro and the issue remains. The instant I went back to 1.5 everything was fine again. I can only assume that this has something to do with the new 1.13.652.2 portion. Anyone else seeing this yet?

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

And when I say "deal breaking" it's tongue in cheek really because I'm over exaggerating. It's really ball breaking if you wanna get technical :p
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Had my daughter text me and my neighbor texted me about an hour ago. Both worked fine. Is this just with GoSMS? I was using the stock messaging app.

Also, on an unrelated front, anyone used the browser? Don't know WTF they did with that but not sure I'm loving the changes there in 652.2. One thing that bugs me is when you open the browser and press the capacitive search button, you used to be able to just type a search like "cornholio" and press enter. Now what you get is "cornholiohttp://whateveryourhomepageis.com". Annoying. Maybe there's a trick I'm missing? I tried backspace to see if it'd clear it. Nothing. Tried tapping and double tapping in the address/search bar. Nothing. Maybe I really did ruin my eyes looking through 652.2 and I'm missing something obvious? If not, guess it's time to dig in the smali code again and fix that little gem. :rolleyes:

Edit: I realize you can go to the end and backspace over the whole URL or long hold, select all, and cut but jeezuz... shouldn't have to do all that!
