[HTC EVO 3D] Boss2212:
I am having this weird issue...i flashed rom(coming from mean rom 3.92..wipe data/factory reset/boot..everything)...device restarts...gets on the lock sceen and then restarts...same thing again and again...and tried to pull out battery and restarted but still problem persists.

Used 4ext recovery..latest version(may be RC)

Hboot 1.5 s-on

Any ideas??
[HTC EVO 3D] SRQ Rick:
How about some screenshots so we know what we have to look forward to?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Chad Goodman's modified superwipe formats the data and system partitions. There's no need to that separately. Some people advocate running superwipe multiple times but I've never done that and haven't had problems.

[HTC EVO 3D] zbergmark:
Does this make it easier to restore data?
[HTC EVO 3D] gyrospazjohn:
I'm having SUCH a hard time bricking my device. Any helpful hints? I've tried at least 40 times, haha. I count to 5, doesn't work. Tried counting faster, counting slower...I'm ready to throw it out the window, lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
Keep your battery out while its plugged in, count to FOUR (five didnt work for me) , and right before it actually starts the update, you pull the plug. That will brick it. I also once had the battery in and as soon as the update started I pulled the battery out. That worked, but I wouldn't recommend it.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I like the challenge of doing things with Hboot 1.5 S-On, even though I know I could handle the downgrade process. I've worked in commercial IT for a long time and part of that was as a security officer. Many problems are caused by systems being open to integrity loopholes, not by malicious users. Chad Goodman reported in the Virgin Mobile Virus thread that he remembered a ROM that had an error in its install script and flashed the wrong partition number almost bricking the phones that were S-Off.

As long as I can do what I need to do with Hboot and S-On I see no need to downgrade, but I wouldn't hesitate if that was not the case.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
When you have 4ext, you can control everything before you are in recovery by using the app. So, it lets you choose a list of things to flash, wipe/restore and what not. You just check the boxes and once youre ready, it will reboot into recovery and flash everything for you. No need to ever boot into recovery and choose multiple upon multiple things to flash one by one.
[HTC EVO 3D] kaoss_11:
I am having issues with the install. I am coming from mean rom with 1.50 hboot and s off and the ics installs fine but then i get boot loop where the phone will fully load and then i get to home screen where the phone stays on that screen for a about 5 seconds and then cuts off.

I have done the superwipe literally 20 times and still nothing. I went back to mean rom with a fresh install and no issues.

any help would be appreciated
[HTC EVO 3D] jhuff83:
Guess I'll just use that only from now on. I have been using it but didn't know if there was a better way to format.
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
Have you tried flashing one of chads kernels? worked for some people
[HTC EVO 3D] kaoss_11:
no I havent tried that. how would I go about doing that, fast boot the rom with twrp first and then install the kernel after.

I just did a dirty wipe update from V04 to V06, this was my first update of MEAN ICS but I have been doing dirty wipes without issue on MEAN GB. After the reboot I got the "android is upgrading... Optimizing application ### of ###." message. Is this normal?

I also lost my rosie 4 x 5. I have no idea why.

I installed leakdroid tweeks 4.3.1 for the first time also.

I am on HBOOT 1.5 and used 4ext Touch.
[HTC EVO 3D] kaoss_11:
thats what I initially used to flash mean ics. i have flashed the other mean roms millions of times with flashimg with no hiccups. I even tried flashing with flashimg again and the same thing
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
leedroid tweaks breaks 4x5 but theres a folder on your sd card, meanICS or something, with a fix for it and the application thing means you wiped dalvik and cache.
[HTC EVO 3D] ACoolGuy:
Ok Mikey here are my results from testing.

MR ICS 0.2

No glitching in ES File explorer.

Quadrant Video 2d:950-1000 3d:1900-2000

MR ICS 0.3 and 0.5

Glitching in ES File explorer

Quadrant Video 2d:960-980 3d: 1950-2050

I thought that maybe you got a bad download so I redownloaded and flashed the adreno driver and same glitching.

I would suggest rolling back to the stock VM ICS driver.

Also because I am a perfectionist at heart, in the build.prop file there is a missing letter "s". The 8th line down is missing the s from android-sprint-us.

Just trying to do my part to help :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
v0.6 seems as rock solid as the previous versions. The only issue I've found, and it's a minor annoyance more than an issue, is that since v0.4, Restart acts like power off. I don't know if anyone else has noticed that or not. Aside from that, it's great!

By the way, Mike are you planning on adding things like spinning carousel zip, etc., to the ICS MeanRom folder in the future? Yeah, I know, but it makes my iphone friends envious!

Thanks Mike!
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The optimization message is the system rebuilding the dalvik cache. Gingerbread ROM's would do this on the first boot after it was cleared but there was no message, just a longer boot time.

Installing Leedroid Tweaks resets Rosie to 4x4 and at this time there is no patch to change it back.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
yeah for some reason some people have been having problems with the stock kernel, but flashing one of chads kernels, either with the PC, or the flash image gui, have helped multiple people
[HTC EVO 3D] liferef:
Hey gyrospazjohn, I had the same issue. I was doing it for 2 days straight and getting so frustrated and about to give up. Then realized that since I had a class 10 sd card the 5-6 second thing didn't work. Even when I read that you're supposed to pull the plug right when you see the bar on the top right after it says "updating..." I couldn't get it right. The class 10 was too fast for any timing to work right.

After I swapped in a class 2 sd card, I got it to brick after the second try. Again, just pull the plug right when you see the bar on the top right after it says "updating..."

I hope that helps. Good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] JAWSxs:
ramjet/anyone I know this was discussed a couple pages back but I'm a little confused. Just to let you know I'm 1.4 s-off

I know I had to update to 2.17 firmware to run GB MeanRom. That's the lasts rom I used until the new ICS roms. I have never flashed a virgin firmware or anything like that. I just flashed viper ICS rom.

my Baseband 1.06.00.1216

Build Number 1.13.652.1

I have not had any problems what so ever, but it looks like I'm not on 2.17? I guess I'm confused because the last time I flashed firmware was to run Meanrom.

Thanks for any info
[HTC EVO 3D] liferef:
I downgraded my HBOOT to 1.4, and then ran Freeza's AIO firmware update, and also have the 1.13 Build Number.

I have the same questions as JAWSxs. How do I update the firmware to 2.17? Is there a file somewhere?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You are fine.

Your Baseband version indicates that your firmware level is the one that came with the 2.17.651.5 GB base, and the Build number is the software level for the leaked Virgin Mobile ICS ROM. If you flash back to a current GB ROM, your Build number should be 2.17.651.5.

The OTA's and RUU's are usually identified by the software Build number, but the other components that are flashed have their own levels associated with them.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
Thanks that worked.

FYI. I mapped it to Media Stop (you had to map it to something).

It also disables the button in the Camera App too. But I never liked using that stupid button because it makes the camera shake for me, every time. So I always use the screen button anyway.

It's not in the Google Play (market). Google it, it's an XDA Member's app.
[HTC EVO 3D] gyrospazjohn:
OMG, thank you. I'm gonna swap for a Class 2 or 4 card and see if that helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] vampirefo:
I installed this rom today, works very well no problems that I can see, I used twrp v1.0.3 recovery to install rom, this recovery has always worked well for me no need to change it.

Good job on the rom and thanks for sharing.

Any fix for 5x4 rosie? Mine is 4x4 no 5x4 in sd folder

Sent from my ice cream powered Evo 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Thanks. My initial feeling after seeing no performance improvement was not to bake in the GPU changes, but I didn't see any issues at the time so I figured we could try it out. Having tried it, I agree with you. I'll likely go back to the original leaked drivers in the next update.

[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:
It's gonna be very similar to the ADW setup, but with nine screens total
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You can use the Anthrax HTCLEAK kernel and overclock but you won't have USB storage or 3D features available. At this point, you'll have to decide what's more important to you.

Custom kernels take a lot of work and this leak has only been out for about a week. And the source for the ICS 3D kernel won't be available for a while.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] gyrospazjohn:
IT WORKED. On the first shot. Class 4 16GB card. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
[HTC EVO 3D] pennfire38:
anthrax kernel works very well minus the 2 things mentioned, and the first can be worked around if you use 4ext recovery....3D is a gimmick anyway, imho...take the plunge. I think its faster than stock, and I can use my cpu spy app again, and fast charge. Just my .02

[HTC EVO 3D] ccs86:
Mikey, have you changed anything with wifi settings since the earlier versions?

When I was running .1, .2, .3 I noticed that when the screen was off, wifi speeds stayed at max. Now on .4, when the screen is off, speeds plummet to under 100 kB. :confused:

It sucks having to keep the tapping to keep it awake just to download something.
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
so i cant charge the phone rite????

Just plugged it in, charging light is on. I was worried about this too when I read about the kernel, glad to be able to say it's working
[HTC EVO 3D] gyrospazjohn:
Hey Guys- Just downgraded HBOOT and flashed MR .6, Stock kernel works wonderfully, and it wasn't hard at all to do. If anyone needs help, PM me, I'm more than willing to help! Note: Class 4 or less SD card recommended, otherwise bricking can be painfully ridiculous, haha. :P

I'm experiencing the same WiFi speed thing as ccs86, but I dirty wiped, so I'm gonna clean wipe in a little bit.
[HTC EVO 3D] smoley:

Odd little issue. I'm on 0.6 (Installed over 0.5 with Caches Cleared)

If I reboot the phone with WIFI enabled Google Play says all the apps I have installed are not installed and it does not show the Installed and ALL menus.

As soon as I shutoff Wifi it all goes to normal.

If I turn WIFI back on, it's also all ok.

Strange.

0.5 is running really well for me with the leaked kernel. Think Im gonna hold off on 6, nothing significant enough to warrant going through the flashing process. Im sure Mikey will keep it coming with great updates
[HTC EVO 3D] alanmv567:
Which leaked kernel if I may ask?
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
Same thing just happened to me until it recognized that I needed an app updated, then it suddenly recognized all of the installed apps. I didn't have to turn off wifi.
[HTC EVO 3D] pennfire38:
Chad's rls1 leak...someone a few pages back posted a link to it, since Chad's stuff is gone now.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Only thing I did was turn on all the sprint code, but that might have done it because all prior sprint roms have always done that. I think it has to do with reduced wifi power mode.

I get that too, but I think it is related to clearing the cache. It only does it once when you reboot after flashing something. Once you clear it the way you did, or clear data for the play store in app settings, it works fine even after a reboot... Until you flash something else that clears cache and dalvik.

Am I doing something wrong. I performed a super swipe as well as a dirty flash but once I flash the rom, the screen just sits on the white HTC screen.

How is the battery life compared to the GB MeanRom?
[HTC EVO 3D] generosity21:
Running .4 and about to dirty flash up to .6. Going great!

Question, is there any way to get the permanent search bar under the notifications bar turned on? I have it on my ICS tablet; is it tablet only, or is it removed as part of Sense? I remapped the long-press search to Soundhound, and it would be great to have Voice Search one touch away. Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] b1gsby_02:
Hello?
[HTC EVO 3D] pennfire38:
I always start with factory reset, then clear dalvik/cache then superwipe...then do the install. Maybe that will help
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
you tell me...
[HTC EVO 3D] Datguy_n_Disguy:
Be patient man. ICS will use a little (lot) more battery than GB until all the quirks are worked out.
[HTC EVO 3D] b1gsby_02:
Pretty good.
[HTC EVO 3D] gyrospazjohn:
As a wise man once said..."Your mileage may vary" lol

It all depends on usage, apps, etc etc. but overall I think it's pretty comparable. Definitely a great job with what Mikey's working with.
[HTC EVO 3D] b1gsby_02:
Maybe this rom isn't for me..
[HTC EVO 3D] pennfire38:
Dont worry, once we get the kernel source, I know these guys will cook things up for us and make it just as perfect as the gb version...sit tight. So far Ive heard its pretty good the way it is, but I havent really had a chance to guage it since Ive been flashing every night, with all the hard work Mikey is doing. Plus I just changed to the anthrax kernel, so hopefully I'll get a chance to really test it out tomorrow.
[HTC EVO 3D] b1gsby_02:
I understand that,but I could use gingerbread mean rom heavily on a single charge....just wondering if this was comparable. I've always went back to mean rom cause other roms don't compare when it comes to battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
I can repeat it without touching caches.

Just reboot with WIFI on. It might depend on how fast the WIFI connects.

Not a biggy.

Just reporting in and to let other know how to work around it, just shut wifi off for minute.

Nothing I did should clear data for play store.

I'll check it after next full wipe. You release too often to do full wipes :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ccs86:
Any chance that you could scan that code for throttling? I didn't notice any extra drain or drawbacks to having that extra speed. In fact, it could save battery because synchronization will finish faster and let the CPU get back to sleep.
[HTC EVO 3D] gyrospazjohn:
Try it for a day or two. Nandroid first, restore it if you don't like what you experience with MeanROM. That's really all you can do if you want to gauge what your experience is going to be.
[HTC EVO 3D] pennfire38:
Maybe, maybe not....I would load up meanrom gb 4.2 with dodava's 5.4 kernel, (thats probably the best one, since people have had reboots with 4.3)nandroid it, wipe, and give this a try. If its not what you want, then you can go back to 4.2 til things are further along. Just a friendly suggestion:)
[HTC EVO 3D] generosity21:
Gotta give more info. Are you on 1.5 or 1.4. S-On or S-Off? Using 4EXT? You may need to flash Chad's ICS Kernel that keeps getting linked to if you're S-On. I didn't have to, but my co-worker did; he also got the boot loop until he flashed Chad's kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] b1gsby_02:
I'm actually running mean rom 3.2 right now with stock kernel.

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

I haven't tried Dodavas kernel, but chad's I always get random reboots (not very often) and battery life not the greatest, no matter the rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] poopymonster:
Same here! Loving the speed, battery life and screen shot option in the power menu!
[HTC EVO 3D] pennfire38:
dodavas 5.4 is a pretty good one...you can ask dimebagdan, he can give a little more insight than I can, but I ran it on meanrom gb and didnt have any problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] b1gsby_02:
Would you say dodavas kernels are bettery than chads?
[HTC EVO 3D] pennfire38:
to be honest, theyre all good. Just a personal preference because 5.4 in combination with 4.2 gave me the best battery life. Anthrax has the beats audio built into it, but that never really seemed to make a difference for me. Maybe Mikey or ramjet or dime can chime in with more info. Im just a flashaholic I really dont know alot of the technical side of it.
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
As far as battery life and stability goes, it proves to be the better of the two w/o compromising performance
[HTC EVO 3D] pennfire38:
Im guessing eventually when the code hits, dodava will be the one developing the kernel, since Chad left xda and all his stuff is gone. That link for the rls1 is it, I dont think we'll see anymore development of that one, unless he decides to return for some reason. I dont know the reason behind him leaving, but I know there were some disagreements. I would rather stay out of that one...and just be greatful for what we got from him.
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
Just because chad left xda doesn't mean he has stopped developing. He's just moved to a much friendlier forum where people actually appreciate his work.
[HTC EVO 3D] pennfire38:
thats good to hear, cause he does great work.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Depends on what you are looking for, but I think dodava is more consistent with Mike's goals for MeanROM: stability, performance, battery life and features, not necessarily in that order. Anthrax still has enhanced audio drivers and built-in slide(2)unlock (at least in some versions) that dodava doesn't have and the performance minded users seem to prefer it over dodava for overclocking. I did benchmarks on MeanROM 4.2 with two dodava kernels and the Anthrax Universal version and they were all pretty close.

BTW, it turns out Chad's kernels are still available on Android File Host. If you login to his infectedrom.com website and follow the thread on the ICS kernel in his E3D CDMA development section, he explains how to access them.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Can't help with getting the search bar into notifications, and I found out that Voice Search no longer shows up in the apps when you create a shortcut on a home screen in ICS. However, this app is available in the Play Store for free and will let you put a shortcut on your launcher bar so Voice Search at least shows up on any home screen.

There may be a way to add a shortcut to notifications/quick settings via Leedroid Tweaks, but I couldn't find it.

That sucks. The 4 in 1 menu is the only reason I'm flashing up. Hope this isn't an issue everyone experiences. I'll give it a try once the flash has completed and let you know if it happens to me or not.

Update: Not seeing that issue (thank God)! Long power button press brings up the 4 in 1 menu for me. Booting into recovery works as expected. Haven't tried power off or reboot, but those weren't working right for me in .5. I always had to pull the battery to get it all the way off.

If you mean the feature where it deleted the battery stats file when the screen shut off with the battery at or near 100%, I don't think so.
