I tried MX Player, DicePlayer, and RockPlayer (I also have tried QuickPic, built-in Gallery, and ES Media Player).

ONLY RockPlayer allowed me to play videos without the extreme choppiness, and even then, ONLY in Software Decoding Mode. Hardware Decoding mode resulted in the same choppiness.

I wonder if this is a clue as to the problem??
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Trying to finish up 1.3, hoping to feed the Meanies tonight. It's in testing now, so provided everything checks out, here are the highlights:

(1) Removed Beats! If you want to enable it, use the flashable ZIP in the MRICS folder. I found that Beats caused more trouble than it was worth and doesn't sound as good as the HTC "Equalizer" setting on the "Jazz" setting, plus it disables all the HTC settings. Just not worth it. That means SRS and Equalizer settings will be back in 1.3 in the HTC music player. If you want to see the red Beats logo on your status bar, flash the ZIP. Otherwise, enjoy better quality without it. I'm about convinced that Beats, while the logo shows, doesn't do anything on this ICS base anyway.

(2) Removed more "smart sync" WiFi/Mobile data management that was still turning off the data connection after midnight in some cases.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] spookytay:
sweet, I agree, I think my phone sounds better with the HTC Equalizer on "Rock", than it does with Beats enabled
[HTC EVO 3D] cityeyes:
This is such good news. Been trying to figure out a way to remove beats from my favorite rom since it was added again. Not willing to ditch Mean because it runs so damn well, but I also dislike beats because it introduces bugginess and doesn't sound any better than properly adjusting the EQ to me.

Figured I'd just live with it, now I don't have to!
[HTC EVO 3D] jbombs16:
Use friendcaster to sync contact pics. Works great.
[HTC EVO 3D] jrgalioto:
I have been looking for a way to get rid of beats since it was added. It was the only issue with an otherwise brilliant Rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
+1

There are good equalizers (DSP Manager and Volume+) and audio players (PowerAmp, PlayerPro and Winamp) that can give you a similar sound to beats without all the hassle.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Just FYI, none of the EQ's on the market work with ICS. And I mean NONE of them! It has nothing to do with Beats. DSP Manager, Volume+, Equalizer, and all the rest do nothing while music is playing. I went through them all last night and tested them. Not a single one worked, even with Beats removed. The only one that works, and it's not an overall EQ per-se, is Power Amp.

That said, that's one reason I deleted Beats from the base install. It brings back the HTC Equalizer which does work nicely and IMO, sounds better than Beats anyway. I tried really hard to like Beats, but I have to say, it's nothing but hype. The Equalizer setting in the HTC music player has something for everyone, and you ought to be selecting whichever preset you like best (sounds best to you anyway) because people have different taste... and different hearing! Beats is just too limiting.

Only thing I'm looking forward to now is Chad's Anthrax kernel(s) being fully compatible with this new ICS base so we can get the improved HQ sound drivers. I do notice a difference there.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Seems strange that DSP Manager doesn't work on ICS since Cyanagenmod released a version specifically for ICS. I guess that only works on AOSP ROM's and something in Sense 3.6 must break it.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] takmsdsm:
I think this has to do with Sense's Facebook integration. It doesnt seem to have its own login like the older Sense did.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ichiban Rei:
Your post gave me hope. I tried using back to exit but still, the camera is broken after watching 3D. I tried flicking away the gallery and camera task but that didn't do anything either.

I also tried clearing data and force closing but that didn't fix the camera either. Seems only a reboot fixes it. Good to know that it's just me getting it though. Maybe I'm doing something wrong when I flash?

BTW I run all roms stock. No themes, no flashed kernels, no tweaks. I just flash the roms (such as meanROM) stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] ovrrdrive:
I have to admit I feel the same way about beats. It's hyped up so much that for some strange reason it makes me feel special when I see the little icon pop up in the status bar but it makes my music too bass heavy and overloads my headphones a lot in the lower octaves. I guess you have to look at where it came from and who it's marketed towards to understand the fascination with it. Then again I have to wonder if the sound profile is different in our phones and if that's why it doesn't work very well. Has anyone heard it on a phone that came with it from the oem?
[HTC EVO 3D] schmeggy929:
Mike I would try PowerAmp. The EQ does work on ICS MeanROM. It has EQ, tone( tremble and bass controls) and PreAmp

YAY no more Beats, No more Beats!
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
FM Radio Widget

It might be too late, but some people have asked for the FM radio widget and I attached it to this post. When I noticed that Mik included it in his ROM, I pulled it out of a deodexed ICS ROM for the GSM E3D since his ROM is odexed. It's been tested on MeanROM ICS 1.2 and works fine.

kernel thats allows boot up?

I've done superwipe on 2 other apparent attempts to flash ics and I still get stuck boot looping, searched and found out that it apparently wont boot with stock kernel for so the question is whats the most stable kernel to rock on this and can someone provide a link thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] thelastgoodbrother:
No dice, still didn't work with the stock messaging widget.

Correction: the auto sync didn't work, but I realized that I can do them one by on.
[HTC EVO 3D] thelastgoodbrother:
The weird thing is that it's showing some pics and not others. I love this rom and plan to donate.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:

[HTC EVO 3D] schmeggy929:
Haha oops didnt catch that last part. :) Brings me back to high school always read the whole question before answering. Oh well...still Yay no beats!
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
Chad has the only kernel that will work for those of us that have the boot looping issue. Everything works except for 3D and USB mount but that can be done from recovery anyway. Head over to infectedrom.com to find a link to his file host.
[HTC EVO 3D] dans108:
OK im sure this has been covered but eyes are getting crossed looking for it ...lol Why is USB tethering not showing up?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
USB tethering is not included in ICS. Seems the carriers want to charge for any form of tethering. :(

Try ClockworkMod Tether from the Play Store from the same developer that produced ClockworkMod Recovery. It's supposed to have stealth techniques in place to hide from your carrier and doesn't even require root. You have to install an app on the client like most of the other tethering apps (EasyTether, PDANet) and it doesn't coexist with those other apps. The free Play Store version has a two week unlimited trial and then degrades to a limit of 20MB per day unless you do a $5 upgrade through the app.

Alright just to be clear this Rom is Awesome! But I thought I should share a bug. Camera is working even 3d but has grainy lines, and 3D movies in mp4 format are not being decoded by the hardware.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ichiban Rei:
Not being decoded by the hardware? I've been watching 3d mp4 files just fine. It breaks the camera every time I do but it appears to work. I see them in 3d after clicking on the watch in 3d option.

WARNING RE:TETHERING

Use it SPARINGLY!

Excessive use will put you under Sprint's scrutiny and then you'll get The Letter.

Basically says if you keep doing what you're doing after ten days, they can and will shut your service off with no more warning and no questions asked...

Good way to get out of your contact, but it will be a while before you can have a line with Sprint again...

You have been advised...

[HTC EVO 3D] mrshades812:
Hey, I have a kind of noobish question...

Dirty flash? Do I just flash directly over my ICS 0.8? Do I clear cashe and dalvic? Do I have to reflash LeeDroid tweeks?

Just curious how I can do this one without losing data and having to restore backups and whatnot.

Thanks guys. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jasonfreeland:
I can get 12 stations sans antenna in Oklahoma city. I'd say half are good enough quality to listen to. I'd love it if someone could build a add on blue tooth short range radio receiver for a phone. Thanks Mike! You do great work.
[HTC EVO 3D] Imurdaddytoo:
Clear cache and dalvic first, then flash away, and yes you have to reflash leedroid

Personally I'd do a full superwipe, but dirty is just fine
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I usually install superwipe, MeanROM ICS, and Leedroid Tweaks for ICS, then do an advanced restore in 4EXT of the data partition from my nandroid backup of the prior release. The install script for MeanROM ICS wipes cache+dalvik twice, plus it's wiped in the superwipe script, so you don't need to worry about that.

I haven't skipped that many versions, but the data restore should still work and get you back to where you are on v0.8.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Hold your finger on the clock widget and slide it up and left to edit. Select Current location (or whatever you want) and then on the next screen select Full screen animations.

Want to try MeanROM ICS, currently on MikVirgin v.1.0 w/ Anthrax HTCLeak kernel...

I'm still S-ON on Hboot 1.5, do I need to flash Anthrax kernel to avoid bootloop ??
[HTC EVO 3D] Imurdaddytoo:
This is the only rom I can boot on the stock kernal w/out bootloops haha, give it a shot
[HTC EVO 3D] cowboyaryk:
i did that and all i get is the spinning rosie after unlock. i get full screen weather animations before unlock when i turn the screen on to check the clock or something
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If you had boot loops with MikVirgin you will probably have boot loops with MeanROM ICS as well since they both use the same stock kernel. The alternative to flashing the Anthrax kernel is to get S-Off with the Hboot 1.4 downgrade process or the new Hboot 1.5 S-Off process. I've recently done the latter and it was pretty easy as long as you read all the instructions and prepare everything correctly in advance.

does no one else have issues with face unlock?

after 1 or 2 times where it works, the camera just wont start. then if i hold the power button the pop up appears and suddenly the trace pattern is in the background but if i close the power menu the trace goes away as well so i cant unlock without rebooting.

and if i reboot it tends to begin the random restarts.

I think I may have found a very small bug. When I'm on a call and navigate away from the dialer screen and then come back to it, the dialer will show up as if I'm making a new call with the green call button instead of the red end button which makes it impossible to hang up unless I drag down the status bar and hang up that way. Try it, make a call then while on the call go to your home screen, then tap the phone icon on the bottom to bring up the dialer. Maybe its just my phone lol.
