ever since i flashed v2.3, all has been well, even my battery life hasnt been that bad, after a couple cycles...but as of like 2 days ago, im experiencing HEAVY lagg, and slowdown, and just plain terrible performance from my phone. its been weeks since ive installed or uninstalled anything new. havent changed a single thing since installing v2.3, so i know i didnt cause anything from the operators end...no idea. handscent hangs alot, and takes up to 10 seconds to open sometimes. alot of other apps, such as facebook, zombie farm, even the XDA app, lagg heavily every time i use them, ive cleared the cache in the apps, reinstalled a couple even, ive rebooted several times..still nothing, and this just came out of the blue the other day.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
It might be a fresh install, but you're not running MeanROM ICS plain. Specifically, you are not running my SystemUI.apk. So that leaves two options: either you are flashing something like tweaks or a theme that is overwriting my (fixed) SystemUI.apk or when you flash, the flash isn't working properly and is not pushing all the files properly.

Simply put: you've done something to break my fix. MeanROM ICS with "no icing" will never have that discrepancy.

[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
Would leedroid do that?
[HTC EVO 3D] ChrisFSU:
yes.
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
So, is there a fix? I really like leedroid, I wonder if lrod's blue blend has the fix..
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
I looked for the code the other night and didn't find it. So it's either not there or I missed it. I'm pretty sure it's not there.

Edit: lmao just remembered I fixed that a long time ago, stock leedroid probably has the badness.
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
Cool. So I don't have to do anything. I'm running battery down just to make sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Just installed the "CDMA v13.0 Edited by Tomqerz" from the OP of the E3D Bassini thread and it seems to work with MeanROM ICS 2.3, including both channels of the headphones. It does replace the Settings.apk in /system/app so that beats tweaks are available in the Settings menu, and that might break some stuff that Mike has done. I don't have "App associations" and the HtcLinkify.apk fix seems to be working.

The quality of the sound with this version sounds pretty good to me. I can't tell much difference with beats on/off but I haven't played around with the settings yet (see screenshot). As long as the sound overall is louder and better, I don't really care. :)

[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
Yes it does! Thanks Duce!

I can't get it to install.. It aborts in recovery, can you make a link to your download for me plz?
[HTC EVO 3D] Master_LU:
FYI

Download link for CDMA is down. I will keep checking periodically..

No mirror up either.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Here's a link to the version I installed successfully. I got it from this post in the E3D bassini thread and it still seems to be available there (but it's the same link as the OP). :confused:

BTW, Tomqerz is from Indonesia so this is really becoming an international effort. :)

Edit: If you need the MD5 for my download link it's attached.

[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Thanks Ram it worked, I don't know why my download wouldn't install. I even downloaded it 3x and still a no go with each. Your link did the trick tho. Ha Indonesia? We are the world! *singing Michael Jackson* :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ZachPA:
I beg to differ. I ran 2.3 off a superwipe and got 1-2% deltas depending on actual battery life remaining. Low battery warnings would say 14%, 9% and 3%, while statusbar meter read 15%, 10% and 5% respectively.

I've NOT modified any code, not flashed any tweaks, not done anything special; I am running as downloaded.

It's not a big deal, really. I rarely let it get that low anyway.

On another note, I did a dirty flash from MeanROM GB 3.92 to ICS 1.0 without any troubles whatsoever. I did dirty flashes several more times up to MeanROM 1.8 or 1.9. YMMV but I definitely was able to dirty flash from GB to ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] flyboyjr:
WOW!!!! I just flashed 4ext and MeanRom ICS over Fresh rom. I am amazed at the difference in speed and smoothness. Even web pages load faster on 3 & 4g. I am rooted, hboot 1.4 with S-off and I had no issues. Everything went smooth with no hickups.

Thanks for the great Rom!

[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Lol I was referring to the facts that there will be quad cores and possibly 2 gb ram phones coming soon after
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Evofreak posted a screen shot showing 14% versus 20%: exactly the 6% difference that I fixed, so we're talking about two different things. If you're off 1% or 2%, then you've got something that is causing one of the two to not update often enough. As I said, the code for both of those points to the exact same function (after my fix), so they will get the same number. If it's off 1% or 2%, then it's a simple matter of one being out of date and not being updated frequently enough.

FWIW, I frequently run mine down to 5% or so and I have never seen a difference. After my fix that is. And I still say, if you have this problem, something else (other than the ROM) is causing it. The vast majority sees exactly matching percentages. And 90% of those who don't... are flashing something that flat out breaks my fix. The other 10% are the unknowns at this point. I suspect it has something to do with some setting or some other installed app that is causing one of the two readings to "lag" and not take measurements frequently enough.

I thought the Galaxy S3 has 2gb of ram in the US as a trade off to dual core from quad core.... which comes out this week Thur.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I'm less concerned about the amount of memory and number of processors than future features like 800MHz LTE and flexible displays.

And who knows what else will be added to Android smartphones by next year? Jelly Bean for sure, but there are probably other new features coming as well, like Google Wallet in the Evo 4G LTE and SGS III.

Bummer. I was was looking forward to you're coming to the EVO 4G LTE.

I didn't realize until recently how good the EVO 3D had been running with MeanROM ICS until I started stressing both in the same situations.

I still really love the EVO 4G LTE and I hope it's just some driver issues and some fine tuning that will get it on track. I don't regret getting it all. All HTC phones have had issues out of the gate.

The screens between the 3D and LTE are night and day. I had not noticed how good the LTE screen was until I had them side by side.

My wife will be keeping the EVO 3D. She groans every time I update her ROM. I'd rather her have less issues with her first Android experience.
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
Yours too? Lol, mine does more than groans.

Anyone else having an issue with the Gmail app not providing a context menu? I noticed it when going to the spam folder to mark things not spam. When I check a couple messages, then hit the menu button, nothing pops up.
[HTC EVO 3D] jackzepplin:
Dude, dude, dude... I hope I didn't sway you away from HTC. My experience with Samsung was always crap. I just wanted you to know that I had a few quirks with my HTC when I first got it. I really feel like you'll be disappointed in the build quality of the Samsung after you have the HTC in hand. The LTE is built very well. The Sammy is plastic and will bust up on one drop from 3 or 4 feet. I dropped my HTC the other night from about 3 feet. I picker her up, looked at her, and she just looked back at my like, "You son of a b!tch. Don't you ever drop me again." Not a scratch, and I dropped it on concrete. Lady LTE is sturdy and strong.

And that was my question cause I didn't flash anything other than the recent apps zip file in the mean Rom ics folder I superwiped 3x's and clean installed the Rom freash
[HTC EVO 3D] evofreak80:
It was a clean install of v2.3 the only thing flash over was from your meanrom ics folder and I flashed the recent apps file

I'm gonna try again when I get home and wipe till my hearts content and the do another greasy install with just the recent apps again and go from there
[HTC EVO 3D] aypanthony:
FYI, I noticed I have the same battery issue. Notification is 2% higher than what is displayed in the Battery use window when battery goes below a certain point. I have a clean install of Mean Rom ICS 2.3 with nothing else flashed on top.

[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
FYI/Warning: I'm not sure the others are all on MeanROM ISC (as I am), but there are a few people trying that mod that have an endless boot (not to be confused with a boot loop) after installing that mod. I am in that unfortunate group! :(

The dev has said he will look into it after he sleeps (He's located in India.). He seems quite amiable at working with people. Sent me a pvt message and gave me several things to try, both publicly and privately. Nice to see other devs that are like Mike in their end-user ethics. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
No, if anything, I'm even more decided on the S3. The non-removable battery in the LTE has always been a thorn in my jock strap. And I'm seeing SO many people with the LCD ripple issue on the LTE that I don't want to get into another fiasco where it takes me weeks just to get a working phone that I can use for developing. So I'll try Samsung this time. Honestly, the durability of ALL these late model phones are pathetic. Drop any of them from about waist high and you'll end up with spider webbed glass. Watch the drop tests on YouTube. They all suck, which is why I pay the $8/mo for insurance.

Edit: Also, the half-assed HTC unlocking mechanism is bothering me more and more too. I do like the fact that the Samsung is fully open right out of the gate.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
At the risk of sounding like I'm sucking up, I am not going to buy a new phone until you do. I've dealt with a lot of devs like you (both here and, even moreso, in my obsolete webOS days). I've dealt with some really good ones who I liked quite a bit. But none NEARLY as responsive as you. Therefore, I will get whatever new phone you commit to developing for.z

While I understand your reasons, I do mildly disagree with your "policy" (for lack of better words) about replying to people who donate via PayPal. Might be nice, if only to acknowledge that you received the moolahh. And if that's my only "gripe" with you, we're doing pretty damned well! lol

Solved my random reboot / freeze / shutdown problems. It was Sense. Switched to ADW for a few days and no more problems. Tried sense again today as a test and it's back to Reboot City. Back on ADW, no more problems. I can live with that.

[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
You can't run the sense widgets unless you are running sense as the launcher. When I use adw ex or apex, I use Android pro widgets from the play store as they are very much like the sense ones. I also use Beautiful Widgets for the clock.

I'm wondering the same thing. I will definitely be looking to add leedroid tweaks, but also want to keep the sound enhancements that were sorely needed. With the other sound mods besides beats, I don't have the impression that the "add beats to leedroid" fix will still apply.

If Mike or someone knows, please post back.

So don't really care for Beats much but the audio mod makes DSP work again. Thanks Mikey!

I just updated to MRICS v2.4. I don't see any differences in the camera. Strange. What am I missing??
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
What I'd like is for someone who runs leedroid to just flash it and see if Beats still works without the flash in the MeanROM ICS folder. I looked at all the code in the audio mods and from what I saw, beats should still work with leedroid without flashing the zip in the MeanROM ICS folder now. I didn't try it because I don't run leedroid so I was waiting for a mean guinea pig. ;)

Using bassini bass beats mod on 2.3 and did not need to flash the add beats zip for it to work, only for the beats notification
[HTC EVO 3D] xblackvalorx:
The audio mod states that it doesn't include beats though?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
+1

I'm confused too. Mike gives credit to coolexe so I'm guessing he got the camera and audio mods from this thread, but post #2 says this about beats:

Note: Beats Audio Not Included But Fully Compilable With Any Beats Audio MOD

Installed MeanROM ICS 2.4+Leedroid Tweaks+data partition restore and the beats option showed up in the sound enhancer setting of HTC Music, but there was no icon in that status bar, so I flashed the make Leedroid beats compatible .zip from the MeanROM-ICS folder and the icon in the status bar and beats enable/disable switch in the notifications are back. The beats options don't show up in settings, but that doesn't bother me.

Based on these results, either the information in the coolexe thread is wrong or Mike added beats to MeanROM ICS 2.4 in addition to that mod, but we still need the Leedroid beats patch to get beats support with Leedroid Tweaks for ICS. I'm not sure if the bassini sound mod would still work with MeanROM ICS 2.4 or not, but now that these options are integrated I'll just use them. The sound seems very good to me.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] ChrisFSU:
Of course not. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I was typing the post above when you made this post. :)

It seems that we still need the add-beats-to-Leedroid-ICS.zip installed to get the beats icon and enable/disable option in the notifications.

BTW, did you add beats to the coolexe mod?

[HTC EVO 3D] cdridge:
Like you I tried the SOS version of Mean Rom, I wanted to keep some HTC widgets. I could not stream audio using BT with SOS, so I came back MR ICS 2.3 and installed Apex launcher. You can use some HTC widgets (the mail, voice mail, music playlist and SMS widgets work, but not much else. I use Fancy Widgets for clock/weather. HTC music app works but not the widget, go figure.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
From the OP of the coolexe thread:

Note that these mods were all made to the stock (default) camera so you need to look for them there. For instance, you can find the panorama option by pressing the Scenes icon on the main screen.

I noticed there is an option to turn the shutter sounds off and on but that doesn't work. I hope that now Mike will take out the mod to force no sounds in the camera because I like to hear the shutter sounds in certain situations.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] HackDPlanet:
Does "Fast Click" mean faster picture taking?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
As for Beats, the ROM comes with all the Beats files, drivers, and preferences. Always has. The flashable ZIP does nothing more than set a flag that turns on global Beats support. Because the Music player that is in the mod has been hacked to activate all the sound preferences, Beats shows up by virtue of the fact that it's enabled in the menu and all the files are there. That's why I said it should work without flashing anything now. BTW, that Beats notification on the status bar is nothing but a notification that shows when "Beats" is checked in the sound preferences. You don't need it and it doesn't "verify" anything.

On the camera, ramjet posted the list above. I have no idea what "fast click" means but it doesn't improve the horrible shutter lag that has always plagued the E3D. But the camera mod had more improvements than my version so I replaced it and overwrote the one we were using.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] rigmort:
Does the little sense widget under "more htc widgets" named Profile work with apex?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The option to disable/enable beats in notifications only shows with Leedroid when the patch is installed, but that can be done in the sound enhancer settings within the HTC Music app as well.

Can we get the shutter sound back in the camera now that there's a switch to turn it off and on? I checked the .ogg file and it's still there in the /system/media/audio/ui directory but it doesn't work even when the option in the camera is checked.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] rigmort:
By the way, running 2.4 and so far it is rock solid. Thanks again Mikey.

Running 2.4, hboot 1.5, s-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Those are all Sense widgets so they are probably not going to work with Apex. If you want to use Sense widgets you should run the default Sense launcher, otherwise Android Pro Widgets, Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets all provide non-Sense alternatives for many of the Sense widgets.

If you are using TB, try clearing data and starting it again. Sometimes if you don't give it root permission fast enough it refuses to work after that.

I have noticed the ROM seems even faster than 2.3 or maybe it's just me. I guess tomorrow I can acid test battery since I get crap signal in my shop. Funny, but it seems that ICS is more sensitive to crap signal. Or, it's because I'm still on 2.17 firmware....
