No lag at all here. I tested that thoroughly before I release 5.0 (since it's a different messaging app) and it opened faster than all previous versions with the threads appearing nearly instantly. It was so fast that I had hoped it might even cure the lag in previous versions but I'm convinced now that the lag is caused by corrupted contact databases. I believe the only cure for the people getting lag is the one posted earlier where you do a backup, clear the contacts database completely, turn off Facebook sync and Google Plus sync, and then let the contacts populate back from google.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mannyboy23:
I don't even have Facebook or Google plus sync to my phone that's the weird part it was working great on 4.8 and 4.81
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RyanInAj:
I've always suspected it was a contact database issue. I started having slight lag - maybe like 3-5 seconds every now and then. When it happened something weird always presented itself - one of my contact's name would be replaced with "null", but only for a second or two. That led me to believe it was database thing - like it was trying to catch up. It happened to fast to get a screen shot.

Not experiencing it anymore though! Thx mikey.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I suspect some app (probably one that has been updated recently) has started accessing the contacts database in a non-safe way, corrupting it. Give the clear/rebuild thing a try and let us know how it goes. I've still yet to see lag even once, but I don't use any "extras" related to messaging or contacts either.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mannyboy23:
I was using SMS pro but just deleted it so let's see if it helps with the lag

Anyone notice any battery gain by using rom cleaner?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huckyourmeat:
Ah, thanks for the suggestion. I haven't been able to keep up with the thread as much recently so I've only been reading the most recent couple of pages every time I have a few minutes to log on. I missed the previous posts about lag but I'll go find the one regarding restoring the contacts database.

Thanks for an amazing rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Definitely an upside to battery life for me, I pretty much have as close to asop as you can get with all the MeanROM goodies

Make More Space, under storage, still does not work with very 5. It appears to be looking for an app that is not there.

I'm having issues with Google Now. It freezes, fails to refresh and crashes. Anyone else having same issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rialsi6:
It also didn't work for me untill I installed the rom without rom cleaner. then it started working again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
Unfortunately, your suggested workaround for the lag hasn't worked for me. I have done all of that: turned off facebook, twitter, and google plus syncing, and then cleared the db completely, but still have the lag.

I'm doing a fresh wipe and factory reset and installing 5.0 now so we'll see how it goes from here. However, since my google contacts contains 480 contacts, I believe I'm still bumping into that file lock. Will wait and see if the new messaging app helps that.

I'll post new logcat files if I'm still having the issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rialsi6:
I have always used the first selection to keep a little sense on the rom but really couldnt tell if it remove enough sense to make a difference in the battery.

Does the OTA updater download it to the ad card and then flash from there? Or am I just better off downloading off the site?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
Might be going back to 4.8. Flashed to 4.9 last night and all was well except the no apparent associated when trying to clear up storage. Put my phone down earlier and watched it reboot on its own when it was literally 5' from the nearest person and not in holster. Thought I would go to 5.0 and let it settle in. Flashed 5, ran Rom Cleaner, reboot. Phone came up fine. Put it down and just went to pick it up at which point it rebooted again.

Might try a full wipe then install, just trying to avoid the app installed process if possible.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
My suggestion: if you want the ROM to run it's best, don't run cleaners, themes, or anything else on top. With the new framework and apps, I'm not sure those are compatible anyway. Not saying they aren't, but I haven't had a chance to check them and I suspect most if not all of the people who are having problems are having them because they're "messing with" the ROM.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
+1 to this. The vast majority of people with issues seem to always mention "I've only [flashed theme x/ran ROM cleaner/used governor]", etc. The only thing I've done is flash every single version of the ROM, with none of the reported issues. Every flash has been dirty since 3.5, as well. FWIW.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
That's fair. Can I still remove apps from the ROM before flashing or would you suggest leaving it as is when flashing and then uninstall ingredients them?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thegregbradley:
The only thing I want with this rom is the option to ditch that circle battery without screwing everything up.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy24:
I'm still getting some pretty long load times with the text app. Is anyone still have a problem with this? Should I do a fresh install? And Mike, is there a chance for a 4x4 landscape 360 mod without the screen glitch that's on omj's mod pack?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] toomuchgame441:
So I've read about this issue a few times not ROM specific I guess but maybe someone could help. Its with the hotspot. I use the stock app and it connects fine but it doesn't seem to allow my iPad to browse. I try the WiFi tether app and it won't even find the ssid on my iPad. I'm wondering if its more of an issue with iOS6 and I haven't had a chance to test much else just seeing if anyone has any ideas.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cheeb:
I'm getting the extended load times on the message app as well...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] robbo10:
I must be lucky, cause I don't have any of the mentioned issues. I use rom cleaner with all the sense cleaned out, nova launcher, Kang Kong red theme and uninstalled fb and Twitter. On my GF's device rom cleaner using sense launcher and TW's blueberry theme and she uses fb. Neither devices have issues. About the only thing I had was a slight lag on the contact pics but I'm on 492 now and that is gone. Strange how it is not across the board.

Swyped from my MeanELTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
I solved the storage issue. I restored system files, one at a time, until I came across (2) Low Storage Wizard files. After replacing both from 4.8, the error went away.

Now I can rest.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mannyboy23:
Well I removed the SMS pro app and the lag disappeared completely text works as it used the only downfall all of my 10k texts got deleted when it initially crashed
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suicidal acorn:
this is not a bug or anything, but i have a question. i know mikey is probably super busy fixing bugs and adding new features, but if he has any free time, i would really appreciate it if he could make a flashable zip for the original battery icon that came with meanrom. i have been using meanrom since version .7 and i have always loved it, but i absolutely loved the battery in the 1.X versions. that battery is gone and i really miss it. but if you dont have time to do this, dont worry about it. i am probably one of a few people who actually want this, so spend your time fixing bugs and making the rom better. this is just a small suggestion i have. thanks for an amazing rom! i dont know what i would do without meanrom!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Wasney:
I don't know if something is afoot or not, but after a install of 5 my sound comes out of my call speaker instead of back speaker...

Edit: Nvm reboot fixed it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ThaRappa:
This isn't an issue as much as a preference thing but it appears that the new messaging app doesn't follow the sense theme. It seems to stay in the green color instead of switching to blue given the sense theme. Again not an issue, just pointing it out.

Thanks.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] moses2303:
Google calendar is a separate app out of Gmail now, I also tried with HTC app and couldn't reproduce it. Created, edited, deleted etc.

Wonder what I did that was so special lol. Maybe try installing Google calendar, perhaps it was made with that app in mind? It's the only thing that seems different.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evolvetek:
@moses2303 - I don't think you're quite understanding the issue here, and how Sense widgets work in a Sense OS, versus a standard Android widget.

Regardless, I am experiencing the Calendar force close issue now as well for the first time on this ROM, and it is absolutely a major issue.

It occurs from the Sense Agenda widget, when clicking an individual event. There are many users of this, including those of us that are professionals using Exchange servers for work, combined with personal events from Google, etc. It does not matter which type of event (Google, Exchange, Facebook, anything that might appear in the Sense Agenda widget) is clicked.

This was not an issue in any previous versions of MeanROM that I'm aware of, and needs to be fixed immediately. I will be going back to 4.9 until it is resolved.

And since I'm here, I'll post the other persistent issues I've been experiencing:

- Consistent reboots when unplugged from power, and when WiFi is on. Is this a known issue on this ROM?

- Google Maps crashes when in Navigation mode while I'm driving, pretty consistently.

- HTC Hub does not display any categories, thus the only thing that can be accessed is featured content, and a whole bunch of stuff (like LinkedIn For HTC Sense) is not.available. I've been looking for the LinkedIn Sense plugin, and it seems the only place it can be found, is the HTC Hub. Help?

- HTML won't stick and is not available when using the mail app, as someone else posted. Please fix.

Thank you for the great ROM overall. With these fixes, it will be superior.

Best,

/e

For those having the calendar issues, did you do dirty installs or clean installs? I am not having the issue with the Calendar that most are having. Can you tell me what you did so I can duplicate it to see if I too am having this issue?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
It's not the notification that causes the issue, it's the calibration.

Not to be a smart ass, but you wanted the steps involved to cause the calendar problem:

1. Erase Dalvik 3x,

2. Clear cache/data 3x

3. Flash 5.0

4. Connect to exchange

5. Open calendar app

6. Click on date with data

7. Get FC

I must say the bug has been frustrating, not because the bug itself , but folks trying to downplay an issue that a majority have. Just disappointing behavior.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] js417:
try android calendar or htc events widgets. I did a full wipe with super wipe

ohh nevermind looks like 5.1 is out !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
grrr I just did a full wipe when installing 5.0 so I dirty flashed 5.1. Unfortunately, it crashes on startup if I have to use the pattern unlock instead of Face Unlock which is my default. So once I finally got it to unlock with my face, I tried to go in to Security settings to turn off Security completely for now, but I can't get past my pattern unlock. I keep getting the error: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.settings has stopped".

I guess I've gotta do another full wipe, but I really can't tell if this is an issue just with my installation, or if a bug creeped in on the pattern unlock with 5.1. Can anyone else verify this? I'd rather not have to do another full wipe just a day later when I spent most of yesterday setting everything back up on 5.0. :(

ETA: Hmmmm I just noticed the App Associations menu is back too. Looks like I'm heading off to do a full wipe again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
I don't think you're a smart azz. I did ask for the steps you took to see if I could duplicate it because I wasn't having the issue. The reason I wasn't having the issue is because I don't use the exchange server. People were saying they were getting FCs using the Agenda widget and I wasn't having an issue with that so that's why I asked. If I came off as downplaying your issue my apologies. That was not my intention. I was just saying that I wasn't having the issue. Trust me there are plenty of times I have an issue and everyone else is fine.
