Hmmm... This definitely looks like the first ROM I will flash for my EVOLTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] puhiniho:
The steps are to ensure the keyboard you want in ON by going to settings >language and keyboard. Make sure the keyboard you want is ON. Then back out and go somewhere you can type, like an email or search, then pull down the notification menu and click on 'select input method' then select the keyboard you want. You should be good to go. :)

What is this lte you all speak of?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] e_town:
Are there instructions somewhere to update GNow to the latest build? When I open it there is a notice that there is an updated version available. When I open the market link it says not supported or something. Found some instructions saying to make a small mod in the build.prop (ro.build.sdkversion i think) to 16 from 15. That let me download the update but Play FCs as soon as it is completed the download and tries to install.

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrlakadaddy:
You can't update it, its for jellybean
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tm21fourt3:
Wiped everything, did a clean install of 6.5, and so far it looks as if all of my 6.4 issues are gone. Great so far. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
Well... Somehow... 6.5 doubles a couple of my songs. This is the first rom and version I've tried that does this. I have naturally like 1100 songs... It's now like almost 1400 due to coupled songs. I even erased my whole collection and re downloaded the songs from PS3 to still have those same ones coupled.

Update: Well looks like Swype Beta was my issue with long loading times on text messages. I am on v6.5 and I was using Swype Beta 1.3.5 As I thought the issue was not with MeanROM thank you again for your hard work Mikey!

Try swiftkey flow!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] robbo10:
I'm a long time swipe user and have been giving swiftkey a try. I like it, its quick, good word predictions, long press features, but what is up with the flow not working on contact, internet, playstore searches???? tapping is so foreign to me now lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
I signed up for the beta weeks ago, and have been using Flow ever since SwiftKey emailed me the beta. I LOVE it!! SwiftKey was my keyboard choice already, as I bought the phone version and the tablet version a while ago. Only thing I missed was the ability to draw/trace words, but with Flow you get the best of both worlds!!! For tracing, I preferred FlexT9 over Swype, and have the paid version of FlexT9. Flow is now my favorite for tracing as it is amazing at knowing what word I traced, and it's word prediction wasn't compromised at all, it is still stellar!! I don't see myself ever using anything other than Flow in the future!!! Not sure if beta users, who signed up for it via Swiftkey's site, will get the paid version of Flow for free or not. If not though, then I'll be buying Flow for sure as I think it's the best Android keyboard hands down!!! For anyone who hasn't tried Flow, do it NOW!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Tried it and liked it better than Swype or the HTC trace keyboard, but I agree with the above. Needs flow capability in search, email, etc. Seems like all the great apps are crippled by some major oversight. I know they're trying to be "cute" by not enabling flow in search boxes and such but I'd rather have it available. Plus, not only does flow not work, not even simple predictions work when you are in search boxes or edit fields.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Well, the Lag is back, but so far not NEARLY as bad as it was. Some people talk of waiting mere seconds they had to wait, mines usually lag for several minutes. This was just a few rotations of the loading. I counted 10. So far so good!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
A little off topic.... It's pretty sad when your Dad is in his early 70s and is teasing you that his Galaxy S III has Jelly Bean and you do not. Lol (just thought it was funny)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cheeb:
It definitely is alot better. I still lag sometimes but its not nearly as bad as the wait for a text thread to pop up...or phone app to respond when pressing a contact you want to call...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
What do you mean by "cute"? Seems like a major issue to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I meant: I guess they thought they were being clever by deactivating flow when you're in a search box because people do tend to search a lot for non-words like model numbers, restaurant names, funky website names, and other things that are not "flowable". And when you are in an email "To" field for example, you'll probably be entering someone's email address. But I'd certainly like to see the option to "Always Flow" and "Always Predict". Other than that issue (and yes, seems pretty major to me), it has a lot of potential. I think it's better than Swype even WITH that issue.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
What about the doubling songs? Never had this issue until now Mr. Mikeyxda :(

***Your Tears Are Sweet Ladies & Social Rejects***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Check a few posts back, as I posted a link for SwiftKey Flow Beta, which blows Swype away. Zero issues.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

Use a file manager and see if the songs are really duplicated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I really can't answer that because it has nothing to do with the ROM.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
6.5.2 is running awesome Mikey. Great work as usual. I am one of the lucky ones where I don't have the lag issue but I like to stay current with the Roms.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Iceman248:
Where exactly is this lag experienced? I haven't noticed anything. I've been confused ever since I heard it. I'm glad I don't suffer. Another question though. Pre 6.5 (even with no issues), a clean install with no restoration of data is still recommended?

That would be truly devastating to me if I actually had to do it like that with no restoration of data. That would set me back several hours (not exaggerating) of tedious work I've already done quite a bit of when I first flashed this ROM. Is there really no alternative to such a thing? Honestly, I don't even think I would be willing to do it, not anytime soon. It takes way too long to setup my phone.

One other thing. I've been recently experiencing my notifications volume be lowered from max volume to about 30%. It has happened twice now in the past couple days. Only for the headset, not for without it. I use it in my car and I cannot even hear a notification with it that low. And now my Poweramp doesn't pause for most notifications anymore, so I won't notice sometimes. Still looking into that issue, as it does if not plugged into car.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
I still have only dirty flashed every version since 3.5, and I am not having any problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
+1. This is the smoothest Rom I have ever had the pleasure to run. No lag whatsoever & the battery life is 2nd to none!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Same here. Ive been running all the new roms that have come about lately but when theres a MEAN update, I immediately nandroid back and dirty flash the latest release/nightly (no matter how many there may be in the day :)) No disrespect intended to the other Sense Devs, but this is the ONLY Sense rom that I feel completely comfortable with running. TBH I dont even think I've flashed any others now that i think of it.

On another note, as soon as I get done with these last few projects I have scheduled I will finalize & upload the Mean walls (black, red, blue, orange, pink, white, purple). Hoping some time this upcoming week
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dakidd516:

***Your Tears Are Sweet Ladies & Social Rejects***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy24:
I haven't had double songs, but I think 6.5.1 is better than 6.5.2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Its not the version, something else is going on. Flying with 6.5 and audio.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
Dude... I checked my files and the songs aren't doubled, but are in Music Player. This never happened on 6.4... Would screens prove my case?

***Your Tears Are Sweet Ladies & Social Rejects***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Have u tried different player?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
It appears to be music player... It doesn't duplicate in no other players. I also have play music & power amp

***Your Tears Are Sweet Ladies & Social Rejects***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Weird bro, I'm sure you've wiped the music player cache so I guess u should stick with one of the others.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
Excuse me Mikey... A super clean wipe fixed all the supposed coupling. You do release a stellar product... Thanks for the update

***Your Tears Are Sweet Ladies & Social Rejects***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
Just wanted to add to what I'm sure most know:

I've been dirty flashing since 3.2 or so and the phone has been working great. That said, there were little quirks like emails taking too long to load or contacts taking a minute to load after reboot, etc. I finally did a full wipe and clean install after a long time due to this newer version and all of those things are fixed.

I know I've brought up some of these issues wondering if others were going through them and I've seen lots of other random issues people have that are often reported to be fixed with a clean flash. Turns out that 99.99% of the time Mikey says "It's not the ROM", it really isn't. It doesn't mean you need to clean flash every time at all as my phone was quite functional over the last months without a wipe, but it makes sense to do it if you're having any sort of issue that doesn't make sense if it's truly bothering you. With this new version being so stable and needed a clean wipe to take full advantage of it, this is a great time to just suck it up and clean flash. It took 2-3 hours to get my phone back to where I like it but it's definitely been worth it. Loads faster, runs even cleaner, and just reminds me how awesome this ROM is and how little weird and quirky things can happen to all our phones even if we don't realize it after so many dirty flashes.

That is all. Thanks, MIKEY!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SweepinJR:
I've been having a problem with Wifi, maybe someone can shed some light.

I've installed maybe 4 or 5 versions of this ROM since I moved to this new office and no matter what I cannot connect to the wifi on my phone. I can connect with my android tablet just fine, laptop, all of that, but not the phone.

Its a WPA/WPA2 secured network...so yeah, no idea what's going on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tm21fourt3:
I did a clean install of 6.5, but I'm having one stupid issue

Randomly my phone sends a text that I've sent in the past. This hasn't happened on any other release of MeanRom. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
I've had that issue on a couple of versions, but only happens on reboots. Weirdest thing, but since I rarely need to reboot hasn't been too bad.

Only happened on dirty flashes obviously, all the clean installs have been good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ronniemayo:
I've had that happen on stock, after a reboot. Could be network related.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] malicenfz:
Does this ROM have Google Now on it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
Please read the OP. It lists all features.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Iceman248:
Yes, I do not know if it's the newest version. It may go back a couple releases ago, but it's there and works well for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] malicenfz:
How do I access it though? Lol never had it sorry for the noobness
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Iceman248:
The name of the app is called "Google" in your app drawer. There is also a widget for it. I think it's one screen to the right by default at the top. Other way to open it is by half pressing the camera button.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tm21fourt3:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Actually I just did this. No effect on lag since it's a stock issue. The phone works better now than stock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Sorry I didn't suggest a different player as a solution. There are tons. I actually love Google Music, as I don't have to store any songs on the phone, and is free. You also have the option to download locally if you are going somewhere that has bad signal.

Can someone post a screen shot of 4g, as I've never seen it, ever! My area of Florida has never had Wimax or Lte. I'm only an hour north of Miami and 30 minutes of Ft. Lauderdale.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Out and about trying to send someone a message on Facebook and the damn app keeps crashing. 3G doesn't want to work unless I switch WiFi on and off.

Can someone please explain in detail what exactly the lag issue is? Tia!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Any application that has anything to do with reading contacts stops and freezes when you try to access it.

Did you want to send a text? Nope. Not unless you remember the number. It won't load any contacts.

Getting a call? From who? Just a random number until you hang up. Then, it's your mom.

Want to make a call? Even if you dial the number, it sits and try to load contacts.

Want to send an email? Reply to one? It won't let you input a contact, and it won't load your signature.

With me, clearing the cache every time was the only answer besides rebooting, and only worked 40%.

Did that help?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
Hmmm sounds like a clean install/wipe/flash would solve this, I've never got this and being as contacts are a part of the core apps it would be safe to reflash
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
Sometimes if you close out everything and then click on the 'people' icon it will load (sometimes slowly) and then everything works..... At least for a while.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Not everyone has the lag problem. If you don't know have it then you shouldn't worry. Consider yourself fortunate
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yankyjz:
Yes, thanx! I am happy to report that I don't have those problems! But now that I understand the issue I will try to look for a solution. To me it sounds like an individual app that is causing the issue. It seems like the app is jamming up the contacts. If people who are having this issue can post what apps they have that access the contact list, it might be helpful to Mikeyxda or others to solve this issue!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Iceman248:
That is some smoking 4G in Atlanta. Something I've noticed that has been odd to me, I'll try asking it here. I have super fast broadband, at 47Mbps/9.5Mbps average. At home, my wired and wireless devices, including a Transformer Pad 300 tablet can ping around 30ms down to 15ms or so connecting to same local test server. This even includes a Galaxy S3, yet my EVO can never do any better than 70ms, usually around 100ms or even higher just before or after pinging much lower on a Galaxy S3. I've tested properly over and over. Even my EVO 3D pinged higher than others. Any idea why that is?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sslbaron:
Yes, it's pretty sweet. I'm here on business too. Going to be moving here soon though due to a work relocation.

This rom rocks but the kern on it is designed for people that are always on their phone.

Is their a kern designed for this rom that has a better battery life? I flashed the standard ken to the rom but the phone is not acting up with data connectivity and now some of the features will not work (i only need the wired teather to work).

Any idea on how I can fix this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
I'm getting it too and I have a theme. Is your play store themed?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
I don't know what "Kern" you are on, but the kernel on this rom isn't designed for just someone who uses the phone all the time. It is basically the stock kernel with some tweaks. OC and sweep features. Mine sleeps like a baby at 1.8. One day I may use the phone a lot and the next hardly at all, either way it last all day.

Why do people seem to ask about better battery life? Who doesn't have a car charger or wall outlet these days.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Mikey,

I just thought of an addition that every phone should have. While the phone is locked, you can dial 911; how about the addition of adding a home number, so if your phone is found, someone can call you while the phone is locked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Traceamount:
I got almost 3 days on just over half a battery on fairly light usage. That would work out to well over 5 days on a single charge, I think Mike did great with the battery usage. I've also gone almost 10 hours and the phone was still 100% off a fresh charge. Both on 6.4, 1.8oc. I did check Facebook, texts, and some phone calls, nothing heavy.

(Wow didn't intend on the pic being huge, sorry)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
What's ur screen on time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
No theme but a themed one was offered and after flashing the force closing went away.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Hmm. Interesting idea. I like it but I wonder if it'd break any FCC rules or other laws. That 911 thing is there basically because of a federal mandate that says any phone you can turn on should be allowed to call 911, even if that phone has no service contract. Just saying it might be more difficult than you think as that emergency call feature might work a little differently than a regular call (service wise).

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thesssfactor:
I use my phone for heavy use. Daily i receive close to 50 emails, remote access to different comps like 30-60 minutes for the day and reviewing and reading pdfs. So with this kern after taking the subway into work and using the phone for 3 hours my battery would be around 60-50 percent.

I flashed the standard kern and under the same usage my phone was is around 80.

But the issue with the standard kern is that it the internet signal dies. It would b on 3g then drop or be connected to wifi, then drop to 3g then drop all together. This makes it impossible for me to download anything greater than 5mb when working

And I really liked the wired tether feature, but I lost that when i flashed the standard kern.

Any ideas on what to do? I might try to reflash to 6.5 and see if anything changes, but I doubt that. I really need a low power consumption kern, with wire tether built in
