So, I was wondering...way back when the EVO 3D first came out, there was a temporary root method, which among other things offered the ability to overclock (until a reboot).

I found one of the many original threads (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1159540&highlight=temporary+overclock) and it appears that the script provided attempts to replace the frequency table on the fly using "insmod". (There is a risk of a reboot if the phone is not idling when the mod is performed).

The actual file does not currently work, but I wonder if this could be replicated for MeanROM while we wait for a good custom kernel.

hey how about **** you
[HTC EVO 3D] P_M_G:
took the plunge and after about 45 minutes of RUUs, battery pulling and cable swapping and watching the damn LED blink dim red.....finally got it to brick and am no longer 1.5/S-On ...but 1.4/S-Off!! finally can flash this baby without having to rely on chad's testleak kernel....

noticed my ringtones are still showing Virgin Mobile and carousel rosie effect from lockscreen is still present...did i miss something? I think this was as clean a flash as possible since I did it right after the downgrade (downgrade process, flashed freeza 2.17, superwipe, batt stats wipe, 1.9 install, cache/dalvik wipe, boot)...
[HTC EVO 3D] gyrospazjohn:
Yes

Anyone having trouble gaining root in some of your apps install the old superuser. I left the new one but also installed the old one, ran into that issue and it fixed it right up for me
[HTC EVO 3D] Ayryyn:
xLoud engine?

Been using MeanRom for quite some time - haven't found anything else like it! With GB, I was able to use the Sony xLoud engine to boost volume. Unfortunately, the file I have is not ICS compatible.

Does anyone know where I can find an ICS version? I have tried the mod found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1641609 but it will not get past the Boot Animation (I kept it on for 30 minutes before pulling battery and nandroid restore).

While this mod would be nice, I really just want the xLoud volume! Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] EindhovenOne:
Where did the option to disable all animations go?
[HTC EVO 3D] runsoverfrogs:
anybody have the file for no lockscreen bubbles mod?
[HTC EVO 3D] gyrospazjohn:
I used the option in Leedroid Tweaks.

Same here, all my notifications are real quiet on all the ICS roms. Hope someone can port X-Loud over.
[HTC EVO 3D] Morbius_III:
So what does that mean Mike?

What will be your plan of attack?
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
I just did that (luckily, I had my MSL written down!). Now my 4G is working just fine!

Thanks. Much appreciated, dude. :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] kockroach:
I would assume that you had applied the Virgin Mobile firmware, correct?
[HTC EVO 3D] gyrospazjohn:
I didn't apply the firmware and I had to change the setting. I think it's a ROM setting, since this is a VM leak.
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
I hadn't applied the VM firmware either, yet I also had to change it. Maybe MikeyXDA can change it in the ROM for MeanROM v0.5?? :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Adam1422:
does anyone have...

a link to this rom? I tried the link in the OP and it says the sever is offline right now. Thanks in advance!
[HTC EVO 3D] gyrospazjohn:
Link's working fine here. Try again in a few minutes, sometimes AFH does that.
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
Why didn't you just so the 1.5 s-off method? Takes 10 minutes and way less painless then the downgrade
[HTC EVO 3D] P_M_G:
also have this question since I just did the downgrade method last night as well ... at first boot after flashing MeanICS it went through a PRL and Profile update and then said "battery too low to get firmware update" (so i skipped it)????

and keep the "why didn't you do the wire trick" comments to yourself as they are about as helpful as condom made of razor blade.
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
Because 1.5 has been show to be intermittently problematic. The downgrade was not painful at all. Bricking the phone was a little difficult. That's it. But you'll get the timing after a few tries. What's life without a little challenge? ;)

I skipped the firmware update but I did update my PRL. It didn't come back so no need to worry when rebooting. I'd suggest updating PRL anyway. Settings > system update > update PRL

Also I don't think I mentioned anything about a wire trick? I don't even know what that is? :shrug:
[HTC EVO 3D] freddya:
May not be helpful to those that already took the older longer more difficult route of getting s-off. However for readers with 1.5 and s-on that run into trouble with bootloop, the wire trick is the most recent and fastest method of getting s-off.

Some taxpayers would say razer blade condoms are helpful as it would reduce prison population costs.
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
Hmm thats odd I had no problems did it on first try literally took 10 minutues. Also I did the downgrade method a while ago on 2 different phones its a pain in the ass and I also perma bricked one of them.
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
How did you even manage to perma brick it?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Not sure, but I think he meant HBoot 1.5 S-On was intermittently problematic, since he said he didn't know about the wire trick (JuopunutBear) method for getting S-Off. It's really too bad that the mods still haven't stickied that thread since it is definitely a viable alternative to the HBoot 1.4 downgrade method for gaining S-Off and most people that try it find that it's easier and faster than the downgrade.

Since the wire trick method is used for a lot of other phones besides the E3D the developers don't spend much time in this forum, but once the process was tried by a few people most of the tips and answers to questions for the E3D have already been posted in that thread. From what I've seen, the few people that haven't been successful either had hardware problems with their phones or difficulty following the directions on the website.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
First time I tried it. I didnt see the faint red LED properly. So what happened was I had achieved s-off and then reran the method. And if you recall right there in the very first post in the OP it says DO NOT RUN THIS METHOD IF YOU ARE S-OFF. So I did be mistake and sure enough perma brick. So rule of thumb if you dont look very carfully at the red FAINT led you can miss it and completely screw up your phone. But now that the hboot 1.5 s-OFF method is available I dont even go down that road and highly suggest that method as apposed to the downgrade. Less steps tends to usually mean less headache/risk. But not always......
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
I got my refurb yesterday and was just trying to get it back to where my og 3vo was. 1.4 and s-off. Took me no more than 30 minutes to do the whole process. All though it could be a cumbersome task for some. Though I hear even 1.5 s-off has it's issues? And that 1.4>1.5 (s off)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I've been active in that thread and tried to help the few people that have had problems. One had pre-existing hardware issues and was already HBoot 1.4 S-Off and tried the process anyway even though he was clearly not a candidate. A couple of others have claimed to have bricked their phones but according to the OP of the unbricking project thread they weren't really hard bricked and a post in the HTC Amaze thread for the wire trick method suggested a way to get out of that state. I posted that information in the unbricking thread but never got feedback from the person having problems, so I don't know if it worked or not. And I've never seen anyone say that they have tried to contact the developer via PM or the IRC channel posted on the website when they have had problems. One of the main advantages of doing the the HBoot 1.4 downgrade method at this point is that closeone is always monitoring those threads on this forum and usually available to help anyone that is having problems.

I'm not going to say there aren't any problems or risks with the wire trick method because it's only been available for the E3D for less than two weeks now so it's too early to tell, but I do think that most of the people that have tried it have been successful.

just a question

does anybody know where to find or how to make the screen size ( viewing area ) in htc music widget bigger . i had see this in somebody phone. Mike can this be done ? sorry if this was addressed before
[HTC EVO 3D] charlie hustle:
Love the rom.. and also the updates the require us to just do a dirty wipe and go.

One thing i noticed is that sometime when i am on a call, the phone screen is totally unresponsive. I was on the phone with my wife and i wanted to take and send a pic, but my phone screen would not respond to any of the contex keys or me touching the screen. Only when i hung up with her, everything was back to normal. Its not constant, but at times.
[HTC EVO 3D] spookytay:
Yeah, my screen will become unresponsive at times. All I have to do is turn the screen off and back on, and it works fine again.

Not sure what causes this though.

I also have the random digitizer glitch, but it rarely happens now, used to be about once a day for a week or two, not it barely happens. I just push hard on the screen in different areas and it tends to work better.
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
Same exact thing happens to me as well and I do the same thing turn the screen off and on. Its pretty annoying
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
Going to ask again and hope for a non smart ass reply. I can dirty flash from 1.7-1.9 right?
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
Yes!
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
Wow and I mentioned this a few pages back. And someone claimed it was my digitizer failing. (Just got a new refurb). Hasn't happened yet on this new refurb. But it also did it for me in SOS rom. So wondering if this is rom related or digitizer related. I'll be sure to report if it happens on my new refurb.

[HTC EVO 3D] guycan:
I think u can I've been doing dirty flashes all the time and haven't had any issue.if u do have issue after flashing then wipe and reflash. The Rom wipe before and after I also do it before and after .I do not reboot I power off in ext 4 then wait about a min to 2 them power back on and all good to go.
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
Okay if anything goes wrong I'll just do a fresh install. I backed up the rom on my last evo and got a refurb. downgraded and then restored. Probably a nono in someones book. But it worked for me just fine :)
[HTC EVO 3D] guycan:
Well hope it all work's good for ua that way.let us know how it goes
[HTC EVO 3D] guycan:

Dirty flash 1.7>1.9 successful
[HTC EVO 3D] FractalSphere:
Installed 1.9 and my idle battery life is MUCH BETTER. This ROM also runs, in general, MUCH COOLER than others I've tried.

Great work all around! :D

Personally, I'm still not a Sense fan, I have ADW launcher riding on top of this.... But ICS is much smoother under the hood.

So far I've had very little issues.. Just loading apps back on from scratch - a bit of a PITA, but well worth it for a fresh start and clean load.
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
Since trying Apex Launcher I left my ADW EX in the dust lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] AlpineMan:
I loaded MeanROM ICS 1.9 last night. I did a superwipe before doing so. This afternoon I noticed that the phone rebooted itself...but for some reason it didn't get out of the boot animation...was animating for a while...longer than usual. So I rebooted the phone to recovery via adb. Did another superwipe and flash.

Anyone else experience the same problem? Wondering if this was just a random event.
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
Dude... My point was... It is said every other page in this thread, AND multiple times in the OP, that you do NOT need to wipe before flashing unless there's a problem. I recognize that it can be tough to find info in such a big thread, but this particular tidbit of info is everywhere here.
[HTC EVO 3D] cityeyes:
Anyone else getting some major data problems, or is Sprint just going nuts in my area.

Complete wipe and flash on 1.9 and I can't even get Navigate to pull up a map in areas where I've historically had full connection.

Trying to figure out if something happened in my flash or if Sprint is just doing something crazy with the towers around here.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Try watching this video and see if that makes you feel any better. :)

OTOH, for those that are not having problems running the stock ICS kernel with HBoot 1.5 S-On, there's really no need to change at this point. I was running fine with that combo, but decided to try the JuopunutBear (wire trick) method so I could run Boot Manager and get rid of that stupid **Relocked** bootloader status when returning to stock and it was pretty easy.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
I honestly thing it's the idea of using linux that may be scary to some. But really you just boot into it and press enter a couple of times. It's super super simple. Like I said it's just the whole bricking the phone part that can take a little time. It helps to have fast fingers when yanking the chord. After a few times of not doing it right I got the timing down pat. Basically when you do it right (I didn't have a dimmed LED) your phone won't turn on at all. Pop battery in and try powering on and nothing. Then you boot into the bootable linux cd and follow the directions.

You'll be glad you did and will save you many headaches in the future.

I may go back to trying SOS rom :) I like the idea of sense being ripped as much as possible out of my phone :)

And it is based off this rom. So no hate :)
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
I use a rom cleaner script to delete/keep the apps I want, sense or otherwise. It's fairly ez and put all my apps from the previous rom on my phone so I only use tb to restore the data. I like SOS but it's not Mean!
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
Can you edit it in notepad then flash from recovery? Can you send me yours and maybe quick instructions?

Bah I want to try SOS so bad! I like the sony bravia engine!
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Since you are S-Off, why not install Boot Manager and run both? There's a free version that supports a native ROM and one slot, and the Pro version only limits slots by the amount of space on your SD card. I always install new ROM versions natively first using 4EXT, make a nandroid backup, then install that nandorid backup into a Boot Manager slot and I've never had a problem. I'm running MeanROM ICS 1.9 as my phone ROM and SOS M and three other ROM's in slots on a 16GB class 4 SD card.

If you like challenges and want to have some fun, it's worth trying. :)

I downloaded the 3.5 rom cleaner, it works for 3.6 also. The instructions are there and is simple. Yea you can edit the script with notepad or on your phone. once its edited you place it in the folder labeled rom cleaner that will be created in step 1 below. If you dont want to create a custom list all you need do is flash the rom cleaner and the default script will run.

So the process is this..

1. Flash the folder creator (only have to do it once)

2. Flash backup tool (backs up user apps)

3. Flash rom

4. Flash rom cleaner (cleans unwanted apps and restores apps from backup tools without data)

5. Sign in to Google and set up phone (if you dont before flashing the settings restore you will get errors)

6. Flash settings restore (not in the thread there but I have it if you want)

7. On reboot restore data with tb

Sounds like a lot I know but it makes for a leaner MEANER Mean Rom for me. Lots of ram and apps I dont use are gone
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
Haha I been down this road of challenges before. I even have the paid version. Until it corrupted my recover and I was SOL for half the day until I was able to use odin to flash my recovery again. Maybe it sucks less now though. Still biased about it though :)

Beautiful. Going to do this now! Thanks!

Hi GSM guy here, I was searching google for info regarding my wifi only staying on for 15 mins or so while in screen off mode after midnight. and it threw me to this thread.

Is it possible to share the fix ? all the ICS leak GSM roms I have tried seem to suffer from the weird 'after midnight' wifi problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If that was your experience, I certainly understand why you might not want to try it again. I just started using it, but think it's come a long way since the early versions. From what I've read it's more reliable if you restore the slots from nandroid backups that have been created by a custom recovery such as 4EXT rather than trying to use Boot Manager to install the ROM .zip files.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

Mike (mikeyxda), who is the OP for this thread and the sole developer for MeanROM (GB and ICS), would have to answer that so you might try sending him a PM. He works all the magic and the rest of us just enjoy. :)

Skinning Sense 3.6 Lockring in MeanROM ICS

Was this ever resolved? Does anyone know if there's a way to skin the stock lockring in MeanROM ICS? I usually use the AOSP lock screen, but I don't know if schmeggy929 ever got a solution that works.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] jrgalioto:
I actually paid for the full version of volume+ it was perfect on gb. But seems to not play nice with some of the roms running ics just yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yea, Mike made this post right after I posted what you quoted above and in his testing the only thing that worked consistently was PowerAmp, and that only works for music.

I've seen posts about people using Volume+ and DSP Manager successfully on ICS, but I think it depends on what else is installed (beats, xloud, etc.). Sony's xloud has been incorporated into swagstr's SOS M ROM, and raises the overall volume for the phone, but I don't think it includes an equalizer.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] jrgalioto:
I don't think that this is said enough, here or in any of the threads..."Thank You." Maybe we sometimes take things for granted because we have such great development, and because of that, we have just become accustomed to being on the cutting edge of things. But Mike, the other developers, the users who supply support to those less saavy...you all really deserve a drink, a pat on the back, at the very least a high five to say thanks for all you do to keep us in the loop.
[HTC EVO 3D] jrgalioto:
Actually, for whatever reasons, volume+ has been working for me on this rom. It doesn't let me get as high of a setting without some bass distortion, but it is a dramatic improvement. I think it's about as good as its going to get, but honestly, it could be much worse.
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
I use Bassini bass mod and get substantial increased sound
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
What version of Volume+ are you using? I think 1.9.0.1 is still the current version.

I found this on the Volume+ forums:

I've attached the zip with the modified "audio_effects.conf" file since the contents are part of ICS and not proprietary to Volume+. Haven't tried it myself yet but will report back after I do.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] jrgalioto:
It is 1.9.0.1 at the moment.

Has anyone ever told you that you da man? Just curious :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] jrgalioto:
Is that in the market?
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
No you can find it here, I am using the non themed version

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1641609
[HTC EVO 3D] jrgalioto:
Does it increase volume all around? Or just bass it up?
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Does both for me
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Do you have Leedroid Tweaks installed?

I do, and after flashing the non-themed version of bassini I get the error "Unable to play this type of audio file" when I try to use HTC Music player with beats active. Same result for both speaker and headphones. Dolby and SRS seem to work OK, and it does seem much louder (probably due to the xloud mod).

ramjet73

Edit1: I flashed the beats for Leedroid fix in the MeanROM-ICS folder and now I get the beats icon if I turn on beats after a song starts playing but I still get the same error if I try to start a new song with beats active. I'll try a clean install without Leedroid and see what happens.

Edit2: After flashing MeanROM ICS 1.9 and only the bassini mod without tweaks everything worked but I got no beats icon. Then I added Leedroid Tweaks and the beats compatibility mod in the MeanROM-ICS folder and everything seems to work including the beats icon and starting songs with beats active. I guess the sequence that works for Leedroid users would be 1) MeanROM ICS, 2) bassini mod w/o themes, 3) Leedroid Tweaks for ICS and 4) beats compatibility patch for Leedroid in MeanROM-ICS folder.

BTW, the bassini mod seems to add sound at the beginning of the boot animation if anyone cares about that.

And I want to take time to thank YOU guys too! You are the ones who keep me on the straight and narrow, point out new tools, tweaks, fixes, and mods, and give feedback on what is working and what you are having trouble with. I can't always solve all the problems if they run too deep or if they aren't really related to the ROM itself, but you are the onlly way I can keep my finger on the pulse of this beast. So THANK YOU too! All of you!

While on the topic of things that are tough to do at the moment, the lock ring fits in that category. The M10 tools (that are used to decompile and recompile the m10 files where the lock rings reside) do not work on the ICS leak at this time. Not sure whether it's ICS or Sense 3.6 giving it a problem but I tried the usual to edit the lockring but M10 needs to be updated because it won't properly decompile/recompile the images.

Thanks ramjet73. Just watched that.

For some reason, I thought that you could not be on MeanROM or any custom ROM while doing this process. I thought you had to be on the original Sprint ROM.

Am I mistaken??

From what I understand the Sprint ROM was the one it was tested with, so it's known to work. Other ROMS may work, but it's suggested to use the Sprint ROM.
