this is probably just a general question, but since all i run is meanrom i'll ask it here. please forgive me if this isnt the correct place, and mods feel free to move if necessary.

i've been getting into running different themes lately and not just the rom. now that 4.8 is up - and thank you very much, mikey! - i'm wondering how i can cut down on my having to re-flash a ton of stuff each time. right now i'm on OYGIB theme + apps zip, and i always flash most of mikey's optional zips.

in case it matters, i have to go back in and flash these usual suspects:

4x5 rosie

kbd notify off

no cam wake

screen off sms

stock auto brightness

stock haptic

then, separately i flash OC.

and i'm guessing i'll have to go back in and also flash the theme separately and then the apps pkg, as well.

is there a way i can keep from having to do all the reflashes? can i flash 4.8 and have all of the other zips load right up simultaneously w each new version of MR i flash? if not, can i flash all these at the same time and have everything play nice?(i know i can add more zip files to each flash in twrp, but i'm always worried some things won't get along or may not be in the correct order.) is there another way to expedite the process through flashing part of the nand (data?)?

thanks in advance.

4.7.1 has (amazing) battery life like I havent seen since 3.4!! Will 4.8 be just as sexy? Thanks :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xanmanz31:
as far as i know TWRP is best way being that you can flash up to 10 zips at a time.

my method until today with baked in OC:

rom

reboot

kernel

no cam wake

no sms wake

kybd notify off

OYGIB theme

OYGIB apps

android man batt mod

never fails for me

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Please read post 3 and post your MeanROM diagnostic log. There are things/events/apps that can cause the phone to draw more battery at times. That's normal. There is a LOT going on while the phone is "sleeping", and sometimes it can't get to a resource it needs, takes longer to do certain things, sometimes you get more emails pushed than other nights. And... sometimes 100% isn't really 100% on the battery. Ever notice how sometimes the battery goes from 100% to 99% almost as soon as you take it off the charger while other times it takes an hour or two to go to 99%? That's just because the battery can be OVER 100% at some points in the charging cycle. It's like the older phones where the charge bounced from 95 to 100%. Except now it appears that it bounces more like 100 to 105%. Similar deal. You really can't judge battery life until it gets below about 90%.

I've been running the latest version of Meanrom every time it comes out as an official update (don't want to mess with unfinished baked goods) and something I've noticed is that the people app (address book) likes to stop responding. A lot. So much so that I can't use my text message app. I've consolidated my contacts and deleted all the duplicates, but still it hangs. Sometimes, right from boot its not working. Restart clear cache, reboot, force close, Nothing seems to be a silver bullet. Other than that, this has to be the best Rom ever. Thank you Mike!

Multitasking is working the best it had for this phone since launch. I use wave launcher in a slightly different multitasking way than I use the built in cards way. Like bringing finger up from bottom and over while on any screen to use screen off and lock app to turn the screen off. Wave launcher was getting killed off until 4.7 A bit off topic, but multitasking is back to the way I like to remember.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Is the boot script the only way you would "recommend" controlling if we want to slow things down other than the stock kernel? Reason I ask is that System Tuner is my app of choice but usually just use for monitoring and not changing anything. SetCPU seems to be out (or at least not good to make a boat load of changes with) but wondering it you have a preference on apps to control if modifying the boot script is not going to work. (I sometimes drop speed way down when traveling and just do it on the fly with System Tuner)

If that happens again (which it probably will with every release) just try the Dev-host link Miley gave us. The Android file host was showing and hr to dl and Dev-host was 5min. (*The OTA must be pulling from Android file host)

Looking forward to updating my wife's phone this evening as she couldn't use the EvilZ OC kernels either. Craziest thing seeing how it freaked out after flashing and mine worked just fine.

Is this a normal thing of a rooted phone? When I let the phone die, something random will stop working.

I kinda liked 4.7.1 with the custom govenors but after reading your post about the cpu controllers I will see how this one fly's. 4.7.1 gave a quadrant of 6500 with the CPU @ 1.52ghz. I know they are not real time real world scores but it looks nice to see those fat numbers.

I just flashed my phone while upgrading to 4.8 and the battery usually get hots doing so but it has been warm for about 30 minutes. I even did a reboot with no CPU controllers so i will report back. Anyways thanks brotha for amazing ROM.:p

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Mikey,

Quick update as promised. I had a phone that had problems with all evilz kernels and pops and static with beats. As I said yesterday, the kernel fixed every problem. I made a 500 mile trip today, although the battery wasn't as long as the other kernels, still admirable for being on the road and losing and acquiring signal the entire trip, and that's a battery killer (only sprint can fix that).

I really don't notice any real speed change with UI or apps and everything works perfectly. Whatever the deal was with the block of goofy phoned (mine including), you got it sorted.

Just to push my luck, I'm upgrading to new version now. I figure worst case, I can reflash the kernel.

No doubt the quality control regarding consistency from HTC is not there. There were too many people having the same issues. Of course now that it works, another build will drop or Jellybean will roll out, and we start the dance again.

Not the biggest update for front end usage, but you accomplished the amazing, which was figure out the happy medium to fix a problem that most didn't have (including you), but didn't break anything for anyone who was rocking before.

I bow to you.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Quick suggestion to noob and intermediate folks doing clean installs, especially with a superwipe utility... back up your pictures and photos to a dropbox account. I have read a few people say they lost all their pics and videos after upgrading. Should it happen, no, could it happen, apparently so. If it happens to just one user, it's enough to say it's a distinct possibility.

Second recommation... Download and set dropbox to backup pictures and videos automatically. If dropbox detects you are sending pictures, you do get a little extra space for free.

*** set the auto uploaded via dropbox and not the camera app, as that is not as reliable as dropbox. The first time you load the app it will ask if you want this to happen automatically, click yes. The only thing I'm not sure about is if existing photos and videos get uploaded. You need to verify that took place.

Happy Flashing and Go Gators!

Post #3 needs to be updated. The following is no longer true.

Screen on with new SMS: There is a meanrom.opt.screenonsms property in build.prop that you can change to false if you don't want your screen turning on when new messages arrive. To put this preference in the sticky file, add a line that says "setprop meanrom.opt.screenonsms false" (not including quotes). Updated in 3.9: there is now a screenoffsms.zip file in /sdcard/MeanROM-ICS that does this for you.

That's not in the plans. The whole point in us having our own kernel is for it to be completely stock except for the overclocking. When you start adding features, that's when the trouble begins. The clean-but-fast nature of this mean kernel is the reason everyone can run it now without issue.

back to 4.7

Just an FYI...

did 4.8 and everything installed perfectly. I did not have an issue at all...

I let it run overnight, and battery drain is about the same as 4.7 which was excellent in that I lose about 1 percent an hour...or less. The reason I am going back to 4.7 is that my quadrant scores are about 300 points less... I know, not a huge (or noticeable) drop, but it is a drop nevertheless. It could be 4.7 with Evilz, is the perfect combination for my phone... I am not trying to piss anyone off, just stating facts...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
4.8 isn't going to be any slower than 4.7 with EvilZ if you're using 1.7 OC on both. What you are seeing is typical Quadrant inconsistency. Run AnTuTu on both and you'll see that 4.7 with EvilZ isn't any faster than 4.8 with the Mean kernel.

A quick question about google wallet.

Ive only ever tried to use it on this rom but just tried it with version 4.7 and it did not work. I tried using it here at a local Home Depot in Orlando FL

Here is how it went for me:

1.Woke up screen and tapped nfc reader with my evo. It read the EVO and it seemed that it was going to go through but didnt.

2.Unlucked phone and tapped to reader and google wallet prompted me for my pin. I typed in pin and tapped phone again to nfc reader. Everything kinda seemed like it was going to go through but again didnt.

I have the 10 dollars on my google wallet account I have not used yet and the transaction was only going to be for 2 or 3 dollars.

I am just wondering if im doing this right or is it something else?

Again Im asking here because I have never run a stock version of google wallet and want to make sure im doing it correctly.
