Another donation sent :) Your going back to updating the 3D and getting it to work with BOTH HBoot's and fixing Bluetooth is beyond the call of duty :) I just updated my wifes EVO 3D to 2.6 with the new OTA Hboot/Kernel and everything seems to be working. Including VPN and WIFI Tether. You make both the EVO 3D and EVO 4G LTE a better experience.

I like to post when I do donate to encourage others to as well.

I did dirty flash from 2.4 to 2.6 and it seems ok so far. I'll full wipe if I see any issues.

I never used the vm kernel at all, unles it was included with the 2.17 ruu that I got
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Check the OP. The VM kernel is baked into MeanROM ICS 2.5 and 2.6. Unless you installed the 2.89 firmware and kernel, or a third party kernel, you are running the VM leak kernel.

[HTC EVO 3D] catbert77:
Have a question about device encryption, but this probably has nothing to do with Mikey's version so much as it has to do with a native change in the way that the new Sprint base works:

Work requires full-device encryption on my phone, and in the past it was not that annoying; after initial encryption of boot and /sdcard, I never knew it was running.

After installing Mean2.5, I was again prompted to encrypt the root filesystem. After it did so, I now get a double PIN prompt when the phone boots; the first is a stock unlock ring and ICS-style keyboard for PIN entry, with 'type password to decrypt storage', and the second is normal PIN entry after full bootup.

I know not many are using encrypted devices, but I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to get back to the previous behavior when only one PIN was required before accessing the device.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
It seems that if you are going to use the Athx kernels with MeanROM 2.6, the best way to flash them is either with the defaut VM leak kernel installed (which is what your dirty flash did) or use Flash Image GUI if you've already installed the 2.89 Sprint stock kernel.

[HTC EVO 3D] Alpine-:
Yes, I was just in a chat with Chad at his website/forum. His RLS 03.0.4 is a Qualcomm/CAF/GOOGLE Base. It will boot fine with HBOOT 1.4+ apparently. All of this updating to HBOOT 1.58 stuff seems silly as I dont see any real reason to run the 2.89 kernel over Chad's latest kernel.

I'm about to make the jump finally and migrate from MeanRom GB + 2.17 based Dodava to Mean ICS. It seems to me the smartest/easiest route (with full downgraded s-OFF HBOOT 1.4) is to just do a full wipe, Install Mean ICS 2.6 clean (which uses a 2.17 based kernel), then flash latest Anthrax 3.0.4 (soon .5) and leave HBOOT as it is. Anyone see a flaw in this logic? If you're not going to use a 2.89 based kernel, why upgrade your HBOOT? Any other advantage?

p.s. not eligible for my EVO 4G LTE upgrade until Nov. 15!

Battery Life

How's the battery life for everyone? it's not great for me. i lose a couple percent for every 5 mins of usage (no gaming).

I am waiting for Leeroid to get updated, so I can set autobrightness to a lower setting (it's too bright for me) and hope that will save some power.

Does anyone know if the "Dual core performance when screen is on for ultra-smooth experience" tweak drains more power and how significant it is?

Any way to revert it back?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
For battery usage, it has been very well for me. I measure by my screen on time. I used it for an hour and 15 minutes and 47 seconds and only drained 42%. Bear in mind, on another ICS ROM I was running, while a very smooth and fully functional one, for one hour and 30 minutes, 80% percent of the battery would drain. So, this was a step up.

My only thing I notice is the graphics don't seem to be as smooth on the home screen. However, the smoothness for the vertical scroll in the app drawer is notably better. Not sure if that's is a product of the ROM or the 2.89 kernel.

As for how I run my ROM's, I always strip out anything Sprint and a lot of HTC stuff (News, New & Weather, Twitter, Picasa, Flickr, etc.).
[HTC EVO 3D] Alpine-:
Chad says feedback is that his kernel 3.0.4 has better battery than 2.89 kernel. It's very early to tell. I have not seen many people talk of comparisons between those two yet.

I agree though, I want Leeroid tweaks. I can't live without it. I'll wait to update to Mean ICS until Leeroid is fully updated and compatible with the rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] catbert77:
I've tried both methods (4ext and flashimagegui), and am unable to get any of the cannot-be-named developer's kernels installed. Tried 2.76 up to 3.0.5. I've scaled them back to 1.2ghz and still can't get it to boot; reboots at 'starting applications'. Was able to run up to 1.5ghz when running MR 2.4. Not complaining, and not saying this is a MeanROM issue--just saying that your method may not work for everyone.

HBOOT 1.58, S-OFF.

Edit: got 2.96 to boot, so must just be my device or configuration.

My setup working perfectly:

MeanRom 2.6

Coolexes version of Leedroid tweaks

Jbears 1.53 s-off hboot with latest firmware an radios

4ext latest recovery

[HTC EVO 3D] jcorcione:
Okay I followed the op to get back to the rooted ruu however I Can't get the pg861img.zip file to install and my.hboot is still 1.50. I notice i get a file not found (pg861img.zip). Then it goes out to the sd card and appears to install as I get a file parseing message yet still at 1.5 version. So I proceeded forward with Installing the rooted ruu every thing was fine but had no Bluetooth WiFi or 4g. Tried Mikeys fix (i think) but were getting install errors on it. Anyways moved forward with the MeanROM current version I am now on 2.6.1 1.06 baseband with s on 1.5 hboot.

1. How do I get the firmware to take to get to hboot 1.58. (Do I need to be s off?). 2. Can I still run the wire trick for s Off?

3. Am on the full 2.89 build?

4. Does mikeys fix need to be extracted or are we running that in recovery?

Right now running current MeanROM.

SORRY if these are noob questions :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Two things:

1. You must be s-off to flash the firmware zip. If you are s-on, you have to lock, go back to stock, take the ota, then unlock again. It's best to get s-off. You can run the wire trick afaik.

2. Once you are s-off, the file name should not have a 1 and should be all caps: PG86IMG.zip.

I didn't do it personally (I downgraded). You might be able to use MeanROM, but I thought the instructions say a stock rooted ROM.

So did I have to superwipe then install Stock ICS rooted deodexed rom? then wipe again and goto mean rom? (Did I miss this or something else?)
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Since you are s-off, all you have to do is download the file from the thread in step 5 in Mikey's first post (our the post above this one coincidentally). Place it on the root of your sd card, reboot into bootloader, let it update, and then remove it from the card. You'll be 1.58 s-off with updated firmware. Since you are s-off, you can downgrade hboot if needed.

Try flashing the base MeanROM 2.6 with the VM leak kernel, then use Flash Image GUI to flash the 2.89 kernel while booted into 2.6.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Has anyone tried the built-in Swype with a completely stock ROM (right after the OTA is installed)? The VM leak didn't have Swype included so this version is presumably the one Sprint integrated with the ICS ROM. If it doesn't work with the vanilla OTA, then Sprint and Nuance will need to fix it.

Confused

I am 1.40 S-OFF Revolutinary running CleanRom with a custom kernel.

I've seen stuff saying I need to update to 1.58. And I've seen posts here recently with people that never updated from 1.40 just went with the baked in Kernel, not the 2.89 kernel. Then either stayed with the baked in kernel. (what kernel is baked in?) or updating to Anthrax 3.0.4 or 3.0.5. If I never put on the 2.89 kernel I don't need to update my hboot?

I am running an OLD recovery TeamWin 1.0.3 or something like that. Do I need to update that?

Sorry for sounding like a NOOB, it's just I have been running my current rom for a long time now but I really want to experience MeanRom 2.6 now.

Thanks in advance.

[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
From my understanding, the 2.89 kernel is the only thing that needs the latest hboot and firmware. I think the old twrp is ok too.

Save the Drama for your Mama with Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] SirWill:
Thank you!

Cool, I think tomorrow I'll try this. This updates the radios and everything but the hboot then right? From the first post it said The entire 2.89 base minus the kernel.

Oh, and i need to do a full wipe of everything. Is there any partition re-sizing of any partitions or anything?

Edit: Additional question. SHOULD I bother updating my recovery, and if so what would be the recommended recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] madmaxx82:
We've found the problem.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with any recovery.

In fact it is completely impossible to work in its unmodified form:

The problem is the boot.img that is flashed before: The 2.89 boot.img has its header at a different offset that wasn't common in earlier days.

That way utilities that are used for changing kernels in your current boot.img (in that case the 2.89 boot.img) will fail if they are not the latest version (unpackbootimg got updated by Koush not long ago).

However, the flashable zip used to install <one of your most favourite and desired kernels> doesn't use unpackbootimg/mkbootimg, but something different: "abootimg" and this one wasn't made compatible yet officially (at least not where the source of the source comes from).

An unofficial, hidden, very dirty, modified abootimg does work.

Long story short: 2.89 was the bad boy ;)

[ BUG ? ] Anyone else notice that SwiftKey 3 has no haptic feedback in MeanRom ICS 2.6? It is enabled in the settings. I get haptic feedback on the hardware buttons, juts not when typing a text using SwiftKey 3. It worked fine in GB MeanRom. [ SOLVED - Default haptic duration must be increased to feel it ]

So ya, finally left GB MeanRom for ICS. I wiped, installed MeanRom 2.6 clean, then flashed C's Athrx 3.0.4 (which you all know is not 2.89 OTA based) and it worked perfect. I dont see the need to run 2.89 kernel when this one is probably superior. I did not have to mess with HBOOT or anything, still 1.4 S-OFF. Very painless. So far so good... only noticed that one haptic annoyance so far. Going to work on trying to get Leeroid Tweaks to work now.

That's it, thank you! It's set so low by default you cannot feel it. I feel silly bc I DID play with it originally when I checked that it was ON.

So I guess at this point I should use Freeza's firmware update which will update my radio and everything to the latest without touching the kernel/recovery partition. I'm still on the old radio with the MeanRom 2.6 + Athrx 3.0.4 kernel. [Update] Freeza's firmware worked great, all up to date and good to go now.
