It's preferred that you load a nandroid or .zip of a stock rooted ROM. JuopunutBear (wire trick) might work with a MeanROM GB version, but it's just as fast to flash the stock rom. The version of the utility for ICS is a little more iffy and you wind up with the 1.57 bootloader instead of 1.50.

[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
OK, I am not going to get too excited because this has happened before, but today is my first day running mean rom (1.9) and I have now gone 5 hours and have used only 20% of my battery (stock sized aftermarket). This includes wifi and 4g radios on BT on and screen on time of 1 hour. This is great!

Before I allow myself to applaud too loudly, though, I will wait a couple of days. I have had really good battery life the first or second day of running a rom only to have average or subpar battery life after that initial phase.

This is, however, at least worth a look.
[HTC EVO 3D] kaos420:
never going to happen.

Sure. Just delete or rename /system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3.

friendstream on ics

does anybody know how to get twitter or htc peep to work in friendstream like it used to? im not interested in a replacement for friendstream i just want it to work with twitter again. i tried to push and install htc peep but that did not work. im using mean ics 1.8
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You may not have the right version of HTC's twitter app. Try putting the attached version in the /system/app directory and setting permissions to rw-r--r--. It should then show up in your account settings for FriendStream and the Accounts and sync options in Settings.

[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
I did it. It was about as daunting as I expected. Not for the weak of heart, imo.

What's the difference between JuopunutBear's custom hboot and the stocker hboot 1.5? I did not notice anywhere where people recommended whether or not to go into the new or stay with stock.

So, now I'm S-OFF and running the stock MeanROM kernel for the first time since MeanROM ICS was launched (had to use Chad's RLS kernel to avoid reboot loop).
[HTC EVO 3D] WisdomWolf:
This just keeps getting better and better. If you improve the standby time anymore, I just might lose my charger. Keep up the good work.
[HTC EVO 3D] CiDhed:
Sense 4.0 will never be official for our phones. Any working version will be a heavily modified ROM that may never be truly stable. From my understanding hacked together ROMs are not what meanrom is about.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Congratulations! It wasn't really that hard, was it? :)

The JuopunutBear bootloader (1.50.5050) is customized to allow write/erase of additional partitions, something most of us aren't going to use. The people that are will more likely install the engineering (ENG) bootloader.

For the gory details of bootloaders see the post in this thread by Unknownforce, the OP for the original HBoot 1.4 downgrade process.

[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Thx Ram!
[HTC EVO 3D] cash525:
After u brick and supposedly get the faint red light you are still not s-off. You still have to go through another process of booting linux and flash downgraded hboot. Then after flash u run ruu and revolutionary to gain s-off. So in closing if u miss so called faint red light u are not s-off. Not sure what u are speaking of.
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
I may need to let the phone sit, but I flashed 1.9 last night and noticed that battery life on 3g is not good. I lost about 16% in 6 hours last night. Almost 3% per hour. Anyone else having similar experience? Or is this the norm.
[HTC EVO 3D] Datguy_n_Disguy:
Is that a joke? No matter what I do on any rom, I get a max battery life of 8 hours. 16% in 6 hours for me would be a blessing.

The Next Sentence is TRUE.

The Previous Sentence was a LIE.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Looks like there are some other side effects to the bassini mod. :(

I noticed that my MeanROM version kept changing back to v0.91 so I checked the install zip for bassini and it replaces the build.prop file with one that has that version of MeanROM as the ro.product.version value. I can change that value back to 1.9 easily enough by editing the build.prop file, but I wonder if it back levels anything else by replacing the default MeanROM ICS build.prop settings?

Most mods that have to update build.prop either edit the existing file or concatenate additional parameters to the end of that file.

ramjet73

Edit1: I did a compare on my PC (attached) of the two build.prop files and there are quite a few differences. The only one I can see that might affect bassini is the lpa.decode=false parameter, so I'm going to use the default MeanROM ICS build.prop and set that to false.

Edit2: I found on the OP of the linked bassini mod that lpa.decode=false is only needed if beats "crackles" with a Virtuous ROM so I'm just gonna take the boot up audio and build.prop files out of the .zip before flashing it in the future.

Edit3: Finally found the original bassini thread while reading through the thread that was linked. The v11.0 version on the OP of that thread works fine with MeanROM ICS 1.9 and Leedroids 4.3.1 after flashing the Leedroid beats .zip in the MeanROM-ICS folder and has no build.prop or boot audio so I guess I'll use that one.

NVM. The original bassini mod seems to break 3D so I'd recommend staying with the version that banccalif linked and removing the unwanted files (build.prop and android_audio.mp3) from the .zip before flashing. Case closed. :)

I Just Rooted And Unlocked Today Using zedomax's Method In Hboot 1.5 With S-ON And Dont Know How To Flash Can Anybody Help?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The easiest way is to get 4EXT Recovery Control from the Play Store (or you can download 4EXT Recovery Updater from www.4ext.net and try it for 3 days with full functionality). When you install it, make sure to choose the S-On option as that will enable SmartFlash, which will allow you to flash your boot partition (kernel) without having to hook your phone to a PC and run recovery via fastboot.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] NexusS4gFreak:
So From 4EXT Recovery I Can Just Install Roms As If It Were Clockwork Mod?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, but better. :)

On the E3D, being unlocked with HBoot 1.5 S-On does not let you flash the boot partition from recovery unless you start recovery from a PC using the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command. However, you can flash the boot partition when running on an Android kernel, and 4EXT SmartFlash takes advantage of that.

With 4EXT's SmartFlash active (S-On enabled) there will be two boots after you flash a ROM or restore a nandroid backup. The first one will flash the boot partition (kernel) and the second one will boot the new kernel and then the rest of the ROM. The only catch is that there has to be a working kernel already installed in the boot partition, but in your case the stock kernel works for that.

Hope that helps.

How do you like it so far?

Just curious if that thing has a reset button or not since you can't take the battery out if it locks up?

ramjet73

[HTC EVO 3D] jrgalioto:

[HTC EVO 3D] NexusS4gFreak:
does This Rom Come With A Custom Kernel Or One At All
[HTC EVO 3D] SRQ Rick:
I think Ramjet73 should get some super status on this thread. You should get an award or something. I don't think there is anybody you haven't helped or question you haven't answered or looked up for someone. Most appreciated man. Best forum, best community. I've been using my new LTE for about a week and miss everything here. So I talked my girlfriend into taking my 3D and I can keep her updated which keeps me checking in over here. :) So mikey I know you've been asked a few times and I don't think you have answered yet but any chance you'll be making the switch in the future.....I'll keep my fingers crossed. All that there is to work with now is viperboy and that ain't gonna cut it for me!
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
No joke. A little spoiled for mean rom GB. I also have not let the phone sleep overnight on 3g. Always kept it on WiFi so never experienced 3g sleep with ICS. Wifi sleep is awesome. Always knew 3g drained more battery, but just expected better.
[HTC EVO 3D] NexusS4gFreak:
Im Having A Problem...My Phone Keeps Rebooting When It Starts Up And Goes Past The Little Military Type Sequence.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You've run into the "boot loop" problem that many people have trying to run the ICS ROM's on an E3D that is HBoot 1.5 S-On. :(

I covered the alternatives in this post, and the quickest one is to search for the HTCLEAK kernel is this thread and download and flash that over MeanROM ICS. The better long term fix is to get S-Off status using either the HBoot 1.4 downgrade or the JuopunutBear (wire trick) method but you can at least boot MeanROM ICS with the HTCLEAK kernel while you research those alternatives. However, you will not be able to use the USB storage or 3D features with that kernel.

No one has figured out yet why some HBoot 1.5 S-On users can run the stock kernel just fine and others like you have boot loops. You should be able to flash the Gingerbread ROM's fine with your setup and 4EXT, it's only the stock ICS kernel that has problems on some phones.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] NexusS4gFreak:
Thanks I Really Wanted To Try This But Is There A Good GB Rom U Recommend?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
A lot of us came from MeanROM GB and some users still prefer that over MeanROM ICS. If you decide to try that I would recommend downloading the 4.2 version since some people have had issues with the current 4.3 version.

BTW, I found a link to the HTCLEAK kernel in this thread and added that to my prior post if you would like to try that before going to a GB ROM.

Good luck!

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] NexusS4gFreak:
ok Thanx Does The GB Rom Have Beats Audio(As I Have Studio's) And 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes. Everything works on MeanROM GB and you have a choice of the default OC/UV (dodava) kernel or you can flash the stock kernel from the MeanROM folder on the SD card if you prefer. Either way you should have a GB ROM that is solid with good performance and battery life.

I had actually started looking at the 4G LTE and was starting to drool... almost enough to get out my wallet. BUT, when I noticed it doesn't have a removable battery, that's a deal breaker for me. As a dev, I use so much battery testing and rebooting that I sometimes replace my battery with my spare on the wall charger two and occasionally three times a day. Plus I love being able to get that instant 100% when I return home to a 12% battery. I've gotten so used to the extra battery that giving that up is a major hit. Can't afford $500 for a phone anyway. I'm not due an upgrade until April. Guess that's good news for the E3D Meanies. :)

[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
I originally signed up for the OG Evo in Oct of 2010, and back in November of last year I dropped the phone and shattered the screen. Filed a claim through Asurion but didn't push it through until I saw that I would be getting an Evo 3D. Thank you to the many people on XDA who reported they were getting 3D's as replacements instead of 4G's.

I thought I had to wait until the 2 year mark, but to my surprise I checked online last week and as of two days ago I'm eligible for an upgrade.

I will not be getting the Evo LTE though. I played around with it yesterday at the Sprint store and while it's very fast (especially in browser performance, there was NO lag scrolling and zooming on the full site version of theverge.com which stutters on my 3D), I'm not sold on it. I kind of hate the appearance, due to there being like 5 different designs slammed into one. Also I know this is a plus for many people but it felt WAYYY too light. I don't know, maybe that's something I'll have to get used to lol. I'm also getting tired of Sense. After having it on two phones, I've realized I'm an AOSP guy. I want a Nexus phone because all of the AOSP roms on the Evo 4G/Evo 3D always had bugs and sometimes performance issues. So I want a phone that ships with stock android.

I'm always dying to have the latest and greatest, but the LTE isn't worth locking into a two year contract for. My 3D still feels fairly new to me and is still very fast thanks to mikey/MeanROM :) I'll be waiting for the qualcomm quad core S4 processor and the adreno 320 gpu. Hopefully crammed into a nexus device that comes to sprint.

Same for me buddy. No point getting it since Salt lake city isn't even on their next LTE rollouts for this year. And I bet you, by next year will have a new Evo with quad-core and what else.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I get the same result ($199 for the EVO 4G LTE with a two year contract extension, effective June 1) when I check eligibility via that link, and I got my first E3D on the day it was released as well. That may be related to my being a Premier member until they discontinued that program.

Can't remember how long I've been with Sprint since I was with PrimeCo when they bought it. That was the company that offered only one phone and it was a Qualcomm (sometimes branded as Sony) phone with a slide up earpiece. Kinda like the Ford Model T, you get any phone you wanted as long as it was that one. :)

Hey mike, I had a few requests. Could you include the 3G/1X signal mod, I haven't seen my phone drop to 1X on this rom but I know it's doing it sometimes. Also I'm missing the custom/lower auto brightness setting from GB MeanROM. Thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Imurdaddytoo:
Pretty sure the lower auto brightness setting doesnt work with ics
[HTC EVO 3D] brc64:
Now that I've been running this for a while, my battery issues have mostly gone away. I still don't think it's *quite* at the level I had with stock Gingerbread, but it's definitely a lot better than when I started. I didn't do anything differently, so I guess it just took a few charges for things to level out.

Does this ROM have the same memory management as the One X? I know one of the biggest complaints about the One X is the aggressive killing of background processes, and it seems like I'm running into that here. Browser is constantly having to reload pages, Facebook doesn't seem to be staying in memory, and Tasker doesn't seem to be as responsive to location changes as it used to be. If this does have HTC's new memory management, is that more a kernel thing, or something deeper in Sense? It may be time I start looking at custom kernels...
