Curious... I don't need to download setcpu to take advantage of the 1.5-1.9ghz oc do i? Already preset in rom kernel?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
Is that "Dusk 4All" theme or a different one?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Correct, no need for setcpu, follow the steps listed in the op to oc.

Mike capacitive buttons not lighting up since 2.1 was upgraded.

Thanks as always.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Im running 2.2 and my buttons light up fine. Remember they are set to be dimmer than stock so maybe that is what you are seeing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
If I powered off and on, they start working again. Not sure how long until they go off again.

sry been busy all day but see, note this is after flashing a rom, doing a backup, and flashing other tweaks.. i was around 50-40ish before i did all that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
I need the tweaks omg
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
do they break anything?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
u gotta flash those first then flash the button remapping and they don't break anything but i only use the sense and status bar tweaks since way back when u said that the other ones don't work.

Mike:

Here's a strange one. Is there any way to make an option (I realize some will not want this) to make the capacitive buttons stay on any time the screen is on? There appears to be no setting for that on this phone, unlike other phones I've seen.

Right now, the capacitive buttons are connected to brightness, whether auto-brightness is on or not. These aging eyes cannot see those buttons without them being lit. :(

Thanks!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I'll check into it, because I'd like that too. I would guess there's an easy way. Just have to find it.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KnoxBNYC:
Dude. you rock!

I know that, for example, on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II, it is an option. I know this because I set it that way on a friend's phone recently. Of course, it's still running GB I think. Hopefully, this is not a limitation of ICS.

Unrelated to this, but I'll be making another donation soon. I made one under E3D's meanROM ICS a few weeks ago.

You gonna be watching carefully for announcements this week on JB and beyond? I'm reading now that we're going to hear about both Android v4.1 (JB?) and v5.0 (KLP?) over the next couple days of Google I/O.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tybo31316:
Flashed .4 last night. The phone slept fine didn't lose a single percent after five hours of being idle. I'm going to test the regular use today. Yesterday I got 12 hours of battery time with 5 hours of onscreen time with.3 hopefully I can beat that today.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] glgehman:
Just to give you all an idea of what EVO LTE battery life can be. This was taken on the STOCK ROM:

Admittedly, I'm a light user, but the phone was there for me any time I wanted it and I was still at 35% after nearly 2 days.

I have no doubt that Mikey will get us to within a few percentages of that and keep us there. MeanROM on my E3D gave me probably double my normal battery life.

glg
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
I keep seeing meaningless battery stats. I think the only stat that matters is on screen time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] glgehman:
You're probably right in terms of some sort of empirical quantum.

However, to me the only THING that matters is how long I can go without needing to plug in my phone. I don't care how long a serial flasher or game player or mobile customer support technician's battery lasts. I'm not any of those people.

The comparison I made was less than 8 hrs on my E3D vs. a whole weekend on my LTE, given the same usage patterns.

Everyone's mileage will vary.

glg
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EindhovenOne:
I think that is a ridiculous statement and IMO if anything, the screen off time would be the better litmus test of a good setup because it is understood that if your screen is on and you are doing things on the phone then your battery will drop quicker. It is the screen off and sleep/idle time that is exploited as an area to save battery and kill unnecessary processes because obviously, if the screen is off, you aren't using the phone and would expect the drain to be minimal.

In any case, your blanket statement is more than somewhat off-kilter.

-E
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I'm trying to understand the problem. Any volume-wake mod that you flash will overwrite android.policy.jar, thereby replacing my volume-track-skip with the volume-wake. What are you actually getting/seeing?

Also, some of the mods you mention replace the same file! So you might be flashing the volume-wake which works fine until you flash the menu remap which overwrites that with a version of the same file that doesn't have volume-wake. Conversely, if you flash the menu remap, that works fine too until you flash volume-wake which overwrites it with a version that no longer does the remap. You may have to pick your poison unless you can find one mod that does it all. That's probably why so many people like leedroid tweaks. You don't get the conflict problem.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Are you F-ing kidding me? Why in hell do I care how long my phone idles? The whole purpose of having great battery life is so i could use my phone longer. On screen time indicates how long I was on my phone using it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EindhovenOne:
Ok, so I guess you're a trust fund baby or something of that nature and you just sit and linger on your phone 24/7 and don't go to work or do anything productive? I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that the majority of people running not just this, but other ROMs, care what their phone is doing when it is idle, so they can have even more juice to get stuff done when it is on.

Sorry to take it so OT, Mike. I just think that the idle battery performance is just as important as the on screen performance.

I am pretty sure that option will only work on a kernel that supports fast/rapid charge. The stock kernel does not support it.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

You could try wiping cache/dalvik and fixing permissions. If that does not work and you double checked all of your sync settings are correct/enabled it is probably full wipe and re-flash time.

I've had this issue before, and in-fact have it right now (which i just fixed).. I've gotten it fixed previously by simply clearing data for gmail... for me it has usually happened after dirty flashing.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] budeone:

I would do a full wipe and reinstall the rom. Something sounds like its running that should not be.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hakeem0996:
thanks for replying ....i will do a full wipe and re-install and see
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
Have you checked to see what you have running? What kind of apps have you downloaded that may be suspicious? Have you done updates to the ROM via dirty flash (Just flashed over the previous version..) I personally if I was not able to come up with good reasoning not to, would do a Titanium back up, nandroid back up, full wipe, system, factory reset, etc.. and do a clean install and check to see what type of results you get. I have been running this ROM from day one and get mad battery life and I am a moderate to heavy user all day long with minimal overclocking and pretty good benchmark scores. Just a suggestion...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
I know for a fact that Mike tried goo manager but they didn't respond to his request. As for svn, he stated in the 3D thread that those types of downloads are essentially patches which can and will lead to more problems/whining. So unless you feel compelled to contact goo on his behalf, I suggest you guys suck it up and dl the half gig or stay on your current version. I mean really what's 5-7 mins for this type of awesomeness? :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] the juan juice:
Hello loving the rom thanks for all the hard work.

Quick question, as more developers adopt a ICS menu button into their apps the need for the multitaking button to be the menu button becomes less and less important. Almost all my apps have updated to be compatible with ICS. So I was wondering if you could you make like a zip file that can be flashed that keeps the multitasking button, and if you long press it then you get menu (for the apps that haven't updated yet so you don't get the black bar) I maybe make a long press home button voice search :)

I only ask because I miss the multitasking button but also like having a menu button there to take away the black bar.

If you can't, it's cool I still love your rom and will continue to use it as I think it's the best rom out. I just thought I'd put in my two cents to help make it better :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Check in the MeanROM folder on your phone's internal storage. The file to flash back to stock button settings is in there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] the juan juice:
Yes I know but that's not what I'm asking please read the full post

Thanks :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Ah yeah. Though did you know long press home is what brings up recent apps?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] the juan juice:
Yeah I know, but it just isn't as fluid as when the multitasking button was dedicated, so much so I don't really even use it anymore. I know it changes what everyone is use to that's why I asked if it could just be a zip so only people that want it could flash it like that.

I just think sense its clear the course Google is going with ICS and JB that there could be a way to keep it but also get rid of that dreaded black bar kinda best of both worlds senerio. So I would suggest all the bottoms stay the same back, home, multi and the only thing that changes is the long press on them.

Anyway like I said before. I love this rom and if mikey can do it that would be great.

Rosie Explanation

I'm relatively new to the ROM scene on Android and at first I was confused with the different Rosie zips. I thought I'd clarify the different versions within this post.

Rosie's define how the icons are presented on the screen. All the files are located in the MeanROM-ICS folder. They are all loaded through the Recovery Console using the Install slider.

There are several parameters in each filename which define what the icons do:

4x4 - If you take a look at the screenshot, you'll see on the right image that there are 4 icons across and the ability to add 4 icons in the vertical postion.

4x5 - The same applies except there are 5 icons that can fit vertically

port - The icons are all oriented in the portrait orientation (same as stock ROM)

land - The icons can also be presented in the landscape orientation

360 - The menu tiles in the stock ROM can be swiped left or right but end at the last tile. With the 360 version the tiles rotate like a carousel

Hope that helps other newbies out there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Nice!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Your midnight snack is served. 2.4 has a new twist on the blue battery meter. As the battery drains, the blue color drains out of the meter. It starts at a nice bright blue but by 50%, it's a very faded blue and by 25% it's almost white in color. So you can look at the meter and tell at a glance how much battery you have just by how much blue is in the meter. The fade is linear and directly related to the percentage: it doesn't jump in big chunks like most other meters. Of course, once it gets to 15% it turns red as usual.

We also get an unsecured boot image for this version that allows easy adb installs and other su features, and a modified boot image (ramdisk) that has tweaks to remove some logger functions and tweak a few parameters.

Fastboot

I'm using mean Rom 1.6. Just find that I love that version and its rock solid. I also am htc unlocked. I'm not s-off. I'm trying to use fastboot. I type fastboot devices and hit enter. It will just give me back the command prompt with the directory i'm in. I will boot into the bootloader and put it in fastboot mode. Fastboot devices still will not work. However Adb will work. Any help on this I would really appreciate it.

Sorry if I ruffled some feathers, or over issues regarding goo and SVN issues. Having a developer like Mike, who works with his end-users so closely is a very rare and wonderful thing. Everybody kisses his butt and gives him lots of kudos, which is great, but we also need to invest in his hard work. I'm guilty of not always giving enough, so let's all take care of him properly. He never asks, and never should have to. Yes, I'm sure he enjoys doing it, but let's all make him love it even more.

As a member since the first EVO, I'm proud to run his rom on my phone, as he picks up where HTC has stranded us.

sweet!!!!!! thanks mikey!! big ups to u bro!! u stay pumpin out updates!! :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Mike,

Not sure if this is possible, but I remember an old virusrom had a type of live update app that would tie into all the zip mods you created. It basically takes the scary part of running the zip mods that scare the noobs.

It was pretty inventive and ahead of its time. The big issue is that the zips are not always updated in the MeanROM directory. Is there a specific script that can be written to copy/overwrite all new zip mods during rom upgrades. This takes the end user out of the equation. I guess there would have to be some string value that ties into the location of the MeanROM directory. Some don't have it at all, and others are out of date.

Just food for thought to lessen the same questions/problems over the long term.

I wish I could contribute more than just ideas.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
1.6? Get with the program. Mike has moved light years ahead :)

By the way, it's good form to disable fast boot and turn on developer usb, just in case.

Yes its possible. I mixed like 3-4 different themes to acheive those looks, and also got a hook up from my man ray with coredroid on the one x. That was the modded app drawer.

Mikey if you happen to see this maybe you could help me with these questions. Ray modded my Rosie.apk to enable the use of the app drawer themes/or backgrounds on this post. I pushed the rosie rebooted, and flashed one of these themes http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26196198

Google+

Not sure if this has been presented already but I know I've seen some people reporting that google+ wasn't working. Well I don't use it often but I went into it last night and found the same thing, it wasn't working... I uninstalled and reinstalled it after trying to clear data. still wouldn't work.

I got it to work by doing the following:

1. Clear data for google+

2. Uninstall google+

3. Used root explorer and went to /data/data

4. I moved the folder "com.google.android.apps.plus" to my sdcard (so I'd have a backup if needed)

5. Reinstalled google+ from market
