The simple answer is yes, that's what I'm saying.

I didn't see any mention of xloud in the coolexe thread that contains the camera and audio mods incorporated into MeanROM ICS 2.4, but the volume and sound quality seem fine to me without it. I have concerns about flashing bassini over the coolexe mods, and recommend only flashing the beats compatibility mod from the MeanROM-ICS folder after installing Leedroid Tweaks to get the beats status bar icon and notifications switch back. I don't know if the other compatibility mod is helpful to an install without Leedroid because I haven't tried that yet.

Without installing bassini v13 on top of the coolexe mod I'm not sure what would happen, but maybe banccalif will have some feedback on that.

That would be great! :) I don't want it on all the time but sometimes it helps to know when the photo is actually being captured.

I tried using the .apk from the original coolexe mod, but that still didn't work so it may not be related to anything Mike did. If you can get the shutter sound switch to work, I will post it in the thread for the mod and ask the OP to include that in future versions.

Mean Rom is great, I would like to see the option in the notifications tray pull down to show/hide the recent apps. I've seen this in other Roms. I think both Viper and Myn have this option (and the clear is far right).

Keyboard Tips

Good tip!

My phone shows "Internal settings" instead of "Touch input" on the "Language & keyboard" settings screen (see attached pic), but the procedure still works. I also noticed that unchecking the Trace keyboard turns off the Swype-like feature in the stock keyboard and if you turn it back on text prediction is automatically enabled. That's logical since the Trace feature would be hard to use without word prediction.

You can also get rid of the arrows at the bottom (and restore them later) using Leedroid Tweak's Miscellaneous options if you want more input space on the screen.

Leedroid Tweaks has an icon on the right side of the carrier status bar on the notifications screen to show/hide recent apps. The carrier name is currently blank unless you change it in Leedroid since Mike forced that to hide "Virgin Mobile" for those that flashed freeza's VM firmware.

I'm sure he will, but dodava said in his thread that he's going to be working on a kernel for ICS as well. Hard to do until HTC releases the kernel source, which probably won't be until about a month after the official ICS release for the E3D.

The developers are currently using ICS kernel source for other HTC devices that are ARM7 based, but they don't have features like 3D that are unique to our device.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Based on banccalif's feedback I went ahead and flashed predator's bassini V14.7 mod over my MeanROM ICS 2.4+Leedroid Tweaks+Leedroid beats compatibility installation. I didn't have to re-flash the Leedroid beats compatibility mod to get the beats status bar icon and the enable/disable notification bar with bassini installed.

Everything seems to work for me as well, so I guess it might make sense to try the baked-in coolexe sound mod, then go ahead and flash the CDMA v14.7 bassini mod to see if the xloud mod and additional features (beats settings, Dolby mobile app) are worth the extra effort to install bassini with each MeanROM ICS release. A nandroid before flashing bassini will make it easy to revert to the coolexe mod if it's not.

I loaded the 2.4 and its Great,infact all these updates have made my phone awesome!!

Does anyone know if beats works with pandora? I was at the gym and was listening to pandora and ther was no beats icon nor has there ever been any setting with beats that I know of with this rom or any other rom I have used in the past.

Also are there any themes that work with this rom? and how about the wifi from sprint? I cant sem to get it to work? Thanks

Supposedly beats has an API now to allow apps other than HTC Music to use it, but I don't know of any that have implemented it. I just tested and Volume+ works with Pandora on MeanROM ICS 2.4 and includes beats emulation as one of the equalizer settings. There's a free version if you sign up on the developer's website and download it from his forums.

It's not just about the interface. I know that sense for example, runs a lot deeper than just the launcher and icons on the screen; there's exclusive widgets, customized apps (ie. dialer/people apps, email, music, etc) and a lot of deep system integration for sense.

Personally I like sense and use it. I feel it adds a nice polish to the Android interface but many don't and just downloading ADW or Nova Launcher or something isn't usually good enough for them, simply because the sense apps and system integration's are all still there.

That said I've always wanted to give SPB Shell 3D a try but never wanted to spend $15 on a home screen replacement. The screen shots and videos of it look really cool though.

Phone Insurance

As far as insurances go, Best Buy "Black Tie Protection" is the way to go. It cost $10 a month. Sprint (Asurion) is going up to $12 a month. With Best Buy, you dont pay ANY DEDUCTIBLE what so ever. With Sprint, I believe its gone up to $200 for a premium smart phone. With Best Buy, insurance covers almost anything even if its something you caused(dropped, ran over, lost, broke on your own). With Sprint, it covers phone related (ie...bad screen, motherboard earpiece etc). And finally with Best Buy, you can get a loaner phone for free while yours is either out for repairs or replaced with a new one all together. The "No Deductible" is worth getting Best Buy over Sprint insurance any day.

Just wanted to share in case some of you guys weren't aware if the Black Tie Protection plan...

Report on sound quality: freakin' awesome. That is all.

Just so everyone knows, DSP Manager now actually affects the sound in all apps except for the default Music app. To get it to work in Music, you have to select No Effects from the Sound Enhancer menu. Hope this helps those of us who like to roll our own eq's in DSP.

Of course, you could use Beats in Music and DSP for everything else like Google Music and Pandora.

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

Which version of DSP Manager are using? I've seen v1, v2, and v3 for ICS but every one I've tried so far has gotten FC's. And my understanding is that DSP requires system changes that disable beats when using HTC Music. May not be an issue if you don't like beats, but something to be aware of.

Volume+ and MusicFX also work with Pandora and Google Play Music and they both allow custom EQ settings without affecting beats in HTC Music.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
According to my app list, it is v1. I think it's the one included with the ROM, although I've dirty flashed so many times who knows. I didn't make any system changes myself, though coolexe or Mikey may have. If Beats is enabled, DSP doesn't work in Music (but it does elsewhere). If No Effect is selected, DSP works in Music as well. I guess the Sound enhancer trumps DSP in Music.

I saw your post earlier about Volume+. Is Volume+ > DSP Manager?

Isn't it just a map that displays geotagged photos?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I tried the DSP Manager baked into MeanROM ICS 2.4 and I get the message "Unfortunately, DSPManager has stopped.". That may be due to the fact that I currently have bassini v14.7 installed on top of the base MeanROM ICS 4.3. I'm not sure why, but the DSP Manager versions I tried recently were packaged with system stuff as well as the .apk and required installation via recovery.

As far as DSP Manager versus Volume+ goes, I guess that's a matter of personal taste, but V+ works well for me with Pandora and Google Play Music without affecting the settings in HTC Music.

[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
I used to use Footprints all the time. It's great for marking camping spots, fishing holes, and things like that.

You know what, that was my thought exactly! I guess anyone could go belly up these days, Sprint included. But... around here, Best Buy is really slipping. Stock at our local Best Buy is dwindling more and more all the time. Now, any time I want/need anything like a new backup drive, flash drive, flash card, network router, battery backup, etc. I go straight to Staples and pass up the Best Buy right across the street. Staples is always sending me coupons and deals and even without them, they're often cheaper and seem to have what I need in stock whereas Best Buy does not. I'm really starting to get that same feeling about Best Buy that I had about Circuit City right before they closed.

Funny how different areas seem to be different in that regard, but around here, Sprint stores have stellar service whereas Best Buy Mobile might as well be run by zombies. They're absolutely brain dead in our Best Buy. I'd almost rather get a root canal than deal with Best Buy! Well, unless they end up with the GS3 before the Sprint stores do. ;)

This is mostly just an FYI to user of this ROM. I was having an issue where my PlayOn app would no longer play any videos (tried default Media Player and MoboPlayer) on this ROM.

Turns out that HTC took out HLS video support from the new version of Sense. From PlayOn tech support:
