[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
quadrant and antutu benchmark
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
biggest change is to new (OTA) base

3.7

Fixed android.process.acore errors

Fixed ringtone bug in stock ROM: custom ringtones (per contact) now working

Improved camera focusing via the half shutter press

Fixed capacitive button lights so they are consistent

Added new user settings to turn off screen-on-with-new-SMS and control capacitive button light brightness (see post 3)

Updated core apps: Gmail and Voicemail

3.6

Added Quick Settings (long press hasn't been implemented yet: that'll take some time on new base)

4x4 rosie is now the default (look in MeanROM-ICS folder to flash 4x5)

Fixed flashable zips in sdcard/MeanROM-ICS: only the 4x5 option for now

3.5

Update to 2.13 base

Finally got the sms notifications to not turn the screen on after two hours of being a f@#$%$ moron I guess, so if I want to change the performance/battery settings can I just start a new line in the MeanRom.opt file or will I screw it up. I beg forgiveness from all of you masters of android who have never had any problems doing anything you wanted on your phone. I worked ten hours today then drove to the in-laws (about a hour and a half each way) for a Labor day extravaganza so I'm sorry if I have ruined your holiday for asking for a little help. I understand people wanting the cherubs to read the first few posts and last few posts of a thread but I have probably read 65 to 70 percent of this thread in the last couple of months. It's almost a 10,000 post thread. Perhaps when Mike gets to 4.0 we should establish a new thread, or create two threads, one for S-on, and one for S-off. Gotta go back to work in 5 hours so I'm sorry for wasting your time with this rant. Thank you to everyone for reading it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
yeah thats normal, the screen will always be the 1st or 2nd highest battery eater, radios would be next...bad cell signal will eat your battery fast as mikey stated, before...and I am not referring to the 3G data radio, i am referring more to the cell signal, the higher % without signal the higher the battery consumption, so with your airrave, you should not have the issue. I average 2-3 hours screen on time and am usually on wifi all the time for data unless I am out and about, at home my cell signal sucks (i need an airrave) nd it eats battery, but I still get 18-20 hours off charger.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
same here.. i always get from 140-215 with all the other mean roms.. 0.7 im geting 50-70?? odd
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
2 or 3 hours screen time is definitely not normal for this phone. This is the amount of hours we should be getting.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hitzand:
On the one hand, this makes me feel better about my screen being not just the biggest user of battery, but far and away so. On the other hand, that screen-on time makes me drool and then cry a little.

I mean, I'm sure I could go max dim all day or play with on-and-off charging to get my numbers to look like that, but if that is legit and normal then I'm not sure what would account for such a difference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
some of us don't spend that much time on the phone...and if I am at home, I am using my laptop...YMMV is true when it comes to battery life, no 2 people will use their the phone the same way, making battery life very subjective, always annys me when people ask how battery life is, before flashing or whatever, just flash it and use it. same goes for benchmarks, they are just e-peens that can be easily manipuliated to get better scores if you know what you are doing, to me the best benchmark is using the phone for 2-3 full battery cycles and then make a judgement...I have used viper and mean...i just prefer viper on my LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
I posted that screen shot, so people know what this phone is capable of achieving. It was by no means intended to bash or criticize. Im a fan of this rom from the 3d days and i hope this rom involves into what the 3d rom has involved into.

I'm still on .6 just saw .7 now but this is what I had for battery life. U have everything syncing normally and screen brightness on auto. You can see my percentage left at the top. Slight bumb from the car charger but it doesn't really add that much juice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
There are also huge differences in what the phone is doing during screen on that can lead to differences in battery life.

Playing graphics intensive games will est battery time faster than just surfing the web.

There isn't any 1 thing 2 people can look at to determine battery lifem everyone uses the phone differently.

I usually get about 3-4 hours of screen in time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NateN34:
Same here. Used to get 200ish mflops on multi-threaded and now only get 50ish.

Although in quadrant, I still get the same high score for 5271 and 8,365 in the CPU, which is higher than I ever got in .6 or .5. It also is just as snappy as the other ROMS, so I do not think there is anything wrong with this ROM. It must be like Mikey says..........that linpack suck and does not give the CPU enough time to clock up.

Been using this rom since .1 and it is the best out there. Keep up the good work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
me to with the linpack i went back to 0.6:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lbe:
Thanks for the v7, here is my minor feedback. Thanks a lot for putting the Rom together.

I was using modaco wallet v12 on meanrom v6 which was working fine. The wallet from meanrom v7 gives unsupported device due to root phone. I setup wallet with Su disabled, but message still comes back up after reboot. I was still able to add my card back in tho. Does it still function properly with that message or I better off put modaco wallet back in?

The rotation glitch in rosie is mostly fixed. But still minor stutter on the last screen transistion. I found myself more comfortable after reflash stock Rosie from mean folder. Thanks for adding stock Rosie in folder.

just installed .7 for first time. switched from another rom to try this out. did a full wipe, and everything is fast and working great. however my sprint VM is not working, i heard the build prop edit breaks visual voicemail? is this true?

Edit: it just provisioned seems to be working now...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] randomrobbi:
What changes were made to the build.prop? Would I be able to just use my existing build.prop going from version .6 to .7? I really don't care about my wallet working and just dont feel like messing with a build.prop edit to get it to work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ingenium13:
First off, awesome ROM! However, after updating to 0.7 the front camera is really really red. Everything has a very red tint to it. Does this have something to do with the build.prop edits? If so, can we have the option to revert to the original build.prop that doesn't work with Google Wallet but that doesn't affect the camera?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrshades812:
Hey Mike, Been running your roms forever and got an issue for the 1st time.

I played Homerun battle and my phone started to get really hot. Hotter then I ever felt it before. This is on a fresh install of 07.

Just an FYI.

Thanks for all you do.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crzycrkr:
You're not the only one. It is like this for everyone which is why 4x5 is an option right now rather than the norm. Mikey hasn't had a chance to fix it on the new base yet.

Aaah. Idk what happened but updated to 3.7 and screen is just black. Tried to wipe and reflashed and still same ol...flashed newest twrp no luck :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I can tell you from experience, if you are going from the old 1.22 base (MeanROM 3.4 or earlier) to the new one (3.5 or later), there are some things that will not work right if you restore. Some have had luck restoring data, others not. I've personally had problems with MyBackup Pro and have gotten reports from others that Titanium has issues too. Rebooting in the middle of restoring just apps, problems with home screen sticking if you try to restore any of the Android settings or home data, etc. If you are having problems and you are s-on, read the OP instructions for s-on thoroughly to be sure you're not getting a partial flash (kernel not flashing because you are s-on) first. But I would also recommend doing a full wipe and not restoring data if you have problems. I've only been successful at restoring MMS/SMS and just a few apps that I can't get on the market any more. So do that (only restore what you absolutely have to) and set up the rest from scratch (like home screens, reinstall apps from the market, etc).

I did, but I reply to those via email and not PM. Just haven't gotten to replying in a few days due to the ratrace of the brick, new phone, getting MR solid on the new base, and the latest "phone won't ring when roaming" issue. This is just to publicly say thank you again to all who have donated! I'm definitely putting your donations to good use because I'm so deep in this Android dev work now that it's really costing me in more ways than one so those donations literally make the difference between me staying vs having to go back to my "real" job where I've had to hire another programmer to do the work I was doing... just so I can do this. That's how Android crazy I am.

Coming to LTE land

This is officially my first post since obtaining my new LTE. Absolutely solid phone. Lucky enough to get an older one so I am already rooted with S-Off. Simple request for this rom. Does anybody have a mod to revert the battery back to stock sense with or without percentages (preferably without)? I'm not a huge fan of the circle battery mod but I don't know enough about modding the new sense to try and attack it myself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] macron1:
Great Rom

Rom feels very very MeaN. Keep up the good work. And for the ppl having problem with the widgets, just try resizing them. I had same problem but played around resizing and it was finally fix.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I just added a section to the OP with my recommendation to do a full wipe/fresh install the first time coming over to MeanROM ICS 3.5 or later. Too many issues with people trying to restore apps, data, or system settings. Trust me, I'm a dirty wipe kinda guy but even I couldn't get by with dirty flashing MR 3.6 when I got the new phone. I ran into too many problems and discovered that it is best to do a fresh install, do NOT restore data or apps, and just restore the stuff that you absolutely have to: like SMS/MMS and a few apps that may no longer be available on the market or one or two apps that are so difficult to set up that it's worth trying to restore the data for just that app.

Anyway, I've added that note in the OP in the installation section.

Can I install this on my BlackBerry 9930? Will it work on my iPhone also?

Dazed and Confused

Hi Meanies and Mike!

So i've been trying to follow the posts since the beta 3.5 and am still somewhat confused on what the best way to get the new Firmwares, radios, Hboots, and 3.7 on without bricking... can we have a section in 1st post or something for "mike's recomendations on flashing". for S-ON and S-OFF? (or just update the existing one).

My example: S-OFF, Hboot 1.22 Baseband 1.02, Rom: Mean 3.3, PRI-2.28.003, PRL 25006, TWRP: 2.2.0.0

Thanks all for your help! Triple thanks to Mike for his hard work!

What about just data for a few games so I dont have to start over?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] weatheryoko:
MikeyXDA,

I've been using your ROMs for a while and they're great. I've recently flashed 3.7 (complete/full wipe) and I think I found a couple of "bugs".

1) When you click on "Activate this device" under settings, it no longer does anything (it used to show me my plan).

2) Harder to describe (there appears to be a problem with the way graphics are handled). An easy test: Plug your phone into your computer using a USB cable; you should get the USB connect screen (i.e. HTC Sync, Battery, etc); there should be an "Apply" button at the bottom. It's not there. I've also noticied a similary problem with Navigon (APP) and Disney Mobile Magic (App).

I'm using a clean verision I downloaded from your site yesterday (and I did an MD5 Checksum), so I don't think it's anything I'm doing on my end... Just thought I'd pass that along.

---------- Post added at 07:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------

not reccomended read the OP :D

A note about dirty flashing on the latest 2.13 base (MeanROM 3.5 and up)

I've noticed that while some people have gotten away with dirty flashing from a ROM on the prior base (1.22) to MeanROM ICS 3.5 or later (the new 2.13 base), the majority are having problems in one way or another trying to dirty flash MeanROM ICS 3.5 or later for the first time. Even restoring data or just apps from MyBackup Pro or Titanium is causing problems in some cases, latent issues where home screens rearrange after wiping dalvik/cache, and other problems. My recommendation if you are installing MeanROM 3.5 or later for the first time is to do a factory reset, install the ROM, and then only restore things that you cannot recover via other means like SMS/MMS and maybe an app or two that is no longer available on the market and you have no way to reinstall. Otherwise, do a fresh install the first time to MeanROM ICS 3.5 or later, reinstall your apps by getting them from the market again and setting them up, and then after you've installed any version 3.5 or later, you can dirty flash future versions after that.

I read on this thread that the notification shade default to quicksettings when there are no notifications is in Viper ROM. I understand you don't like that for MeanROM, but is it something that we can add in manually? Does anyone know how to do it?

Looking forward to the updated Google Now! Hoping I can get Sports scores working...saw this but no dice on getting my Texans or Aggies to show up yet. I believe the new GN update gives more granular control over selecting teams.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hshshawn:
Just to follow up I went ahead and restored data from mybackup pro for swiftkey my bank app and my games and had no problems what so ever. On Mean 3.7 on all new firmware. Just letting you know YMMV but everything worked great for me. I did just let all my apps re-install via the playstore instead of restoring them from MBP so that may have helped not sure.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Capt4Chris:
My experience with 3.5

If it helps anyone, I went from 3.3 or 3.4 (can't remember which I was on) up to 3.5 AND was able to restore my data.

I did do a factory wipe in TWRP 2.2.2.0 and did a clean install of 3.5 (I also installed the new firmware minus kernel, hboot, recovery). I then restored all my app data and some system data through Titanium Backup Pro. I did have a problem restoring the system data for SETTINGS STORAGE XXXXXX (SETTINGS/BLUETOOTH) because when the phone restarted it wouldn't recognize my pin! So I just did a factory wipe again, loaded the phone back up and restored all app data and the same system data (minus that one setting). The phone is running great now!

DISCLAIMER: If you're going to try this though, based on the problem other people are having, don't forget to make a Nandroid backup first!
