My laptop has a bigger screen that's much better for email too. Email on phones is somehow still kind of a big deal.

These arguments are full of holes and invalid. Looks kind of dumb except to the brown nosers.

But luckily it's your rom and your time. You don't have to defend or justify anything. You can do whatever you want and anyone who doesn't like it can go take a hike.

If you just answered every question with "Because I do/don't feel like it, today." It would be more honest and you wouldn't be in danger of saying things that don't hold water.

I didn't know about this feature until seeing all the fuss in here. It could be handy for USB thumb drives but that still requires having an adapter on it too.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Honestly, I think what doesn't hold water is that you need otg so you can hook up a gaming controller that is bigger than the phone itself, and then where do you put your phone while you are holding the controller? And where do you keep this controller, your purse? So you can whip it out when you are bored waiting for your dealer to install the picnic table on the back of your Prius?

If you don't want to hear all that, then don't come here making smartass comments about the ROM because I won't be your personal programmer.

Mike, when you mention "extended power" here, are you referring to the power menu? When I first read this I thought there was a sweep I didn't know about that gave extended power (ie battery life).

I am running sweeps mod 1. The sweep to deep sleep would only be needed if I had a sweep enabled that used the touch panel while the screen is off, right?

I just did my first update (dirty flash through OTA Updater) for this ROM. One thing I noticed that I felt I should mention.

I did the sticky settings file and noticed that the permissions that I had to modify were lost and I had to reset them. Not a big deal I suppose, but worth mentioning I thought.

Also, the settings don't stick until a next reboot it seems. I think I noticed that before, therefore I don't think it has to do with permissions.

Anyways, just wanted to put this out there. Thanks for all your hard work. :good:

Been using this Rom for couple months now and I say its great! My only complaint is the battery seems to drain so fast **** pisses me off.. I'm just texting ,couple calls its ridiculous..

I don't think its your Rom I think its the ****ty internal battery.. Now when jelly bean is fully released, do we have to unroot and upgrade or are you going to implement it into this Rom..

Douche Bag? So apparently playing Dead Trigger through MHL with a ps3 controller is trolling? It's hilarious how you guys ride" the wave" around here. I'm perfectly fine with no otg... I got one controller paired already. Whenever I need to pair more for some old school Mario or something... I'll just flash the otg kernel then revert back.

Ok guys. Mike mentioned there are some fixes for Facebook contact pics. I did a search and tried one of the apps,mentioned in another thread. I might be doing more harm than good trying stuff.

What are you guys running for Facebook syncing?

Sent from my EvoLTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
If HTC isn't working for you and you deleted your contacts and your Facebook account, resetting them up through HTC Facebook in the setup, try Facebook photo unlocked or Facebook contact sync. The only times I've had issues with that were in relation to the lag which seems to have been fixed.

Can you define crappy battery life for you? I use my phone quite a bit with Wifi OFF and mobile on, and make it 12 hrs

usually. The only time my phone guzzles battery is when there's bad or low signal and there's nothing we can really do about that regardless of rom.

I use Friendcaster and Haxsync

Yes, and 1 has sleep and snap, but when I made 5 into 1,saved, reboot nothing happened. Then I deleted the hashtag, save, reboot, nothing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
I tried to use Friendcaster for a few days, freezing the installed FB app so I wasn't running both, but I didn't care for the UI all that much; I actually prefer Facebook's. Plus it didn't fix the lag I was experiencing at the time. This was all before 6.4 however....

I've been running 6.4 for the last couple days now and haven't had a single messaging or contacts related lag. Yes, I wiped and reset my contacts db prior to dirty flashing 6.4 and haven't seen any lag since. Even using my phone from the road today, calling up my contacts file from within Car Dock Home app, was all flawless, something I haven't seen for awhile! :victory:

So though I've glanced in Haxsync's direction, I've been holding off on doing any Facebook contact syncing for fear of ruining a good thing. So I'm particularly interested in hearing input from those of you who also had the contacts/messaging lag and what if anything works for contact syncing without adding substantial overhead or lag. I'd still prefer to use the native FB app for regular Facebook-ing activities if possible.

I am by no means an ass kisser, but this ROM is something Mike created. He didn't have to share this with anyone much less put up with our demands. I ask questions when I have them and most times they get answered. If I have a suggestion our idea, I might post it. That's where it ends. I don't need a response and I certainly don't expect or demand one. We all have certain things we'd like our phone to do or not do. Personally, I don't know how to do what Mike does so I appreciate everything he has done to get my phone closer to what I feel is perfect. I choose not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I would be running this phone stock if it weren't for devs like Mike and I appreciate that. He doesn't owe me anything and, I feel, has already gone above and beyond for me and he doesn't even know me. How someone can feel justified in complaining about something that is completely free and OPTIONAL is beyond me. It blows my mind.

Thanks to Mike and all the others like him who bring a little convenience and pleasure to our lives and put up with us.

Try going to McDonald's and telling them you'd like them to put a hot dog on the menu and see where it gets ya. They aren't gonna listen...and you pay their salaries.

Hahaha.

This nice lady I know drinks tea at work. She brings her own tea bags and uses the microwave to heat the water even though she has to walk a lot further to the lunch room and they have a Keurig machine right there close by, and they have tea pods, plus even if you wanted your own tea you could still use it just to make hot water.

So the other people ask her why doesn't she just use the keurig machine since it's faster and more convenient and they supply the pods free?

The answer is the keurig machine always has coffee residue in it and makes the tea taste bad. Their response to this? "Why don't you just drink coffee?"

Usb host mode may be used for a game controller, or it may be used for anything else. It's not for you or anyone else to say hooking up a game controller is dumb any more than it's anyone elses place to tell you that NOT hooking one up is dumb. I personally don't want it for that particular use either. In fact I can survive without it in general for any use although I would like to be able to access my thumb drives once in a while without booting my laptop. Even cooler would be making a desktop mode out of a cradle with mhl and some standard usb keyboard/mouse.

Yeah you can do that with bluetooth periphs and yeah a laptop is more practical anyways. That's why we're all here, because we only do the practical thing, not like rooting and hacking stuff that already works or anything like that.

Then again I happen to use serial devices and it might be handy to be able to use a usb-serial adapter without a laptop. Or program an arduino board, or print to a printer or scan from a scanner or read a digital scale or practically infinite other things.

Don't accuse me of demanding you be my personal programmer. I didn't even really request this feature. I just agreed that I'd like it too, and pointed out the hypocracy in the reasons given for not doing it, and pointed out the holes in the logic that attempts to paint the request as inherently stupid and unreasonable. It is a perfectly reasonable desire for a perfectly useful feature. And I said plainly and truthfully it's your thing and you can do whatever you want with it.

If you don't want to do it. Don't. It's fine. But don't give invalid arguments why not and expect them to be taken seriously. "I don't want to." Is a valid argument. If you'd stuck with that we wouldn't be having this conversation.

"It's a dumb thing to ask for because a game controller is big and I can't imagine any use for it." is not. If you can't imagine the unending potential uses for usb host mode, all that proves is that you lack imagination.

We have two solutions.... Either this.... Which is second best... No cracks on TL

Or use the kernel of The Kernel God that is fairly optimized with excellent battery life, USB OTG, linaro, and a host of other things including all these sweep here sweep there things.

As you can see... Option 2 is the BEST option... But you must be s-off.... Which I am not. I suggest you go with the "warez"

That's correct. For those of you who don't know what that means, see post 3. There is even a picture of the sweep grid selection.

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

I think I already replied to this, but check out post 3.

Flash the sticky settings zip file in the meanrom directly to create MeanROM.opt file.

Modify MeanROM.opt and use 0 for the sweep option.

Reboot

There is a grid that describes what each sweep option is. I believe 4 is the default, and 0 turns it all off. Just read post 3. If you can't find that, start at page 1. 8-)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Iceman248:
You'll have to download it via the Download links from the first post and flash it via TWRP recovery if you do indeed have it installed. If not, the links towards the latest 2.3.1.0 version are in the first post too, I think.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
You don't HAVE to, but if you're having any problems (like bad battery life, which is not a common symptom of the ROM), the recommendation in the OP is to do a clean install to see if that resolves your issues.

While we're being grateful...

I can't imagine the amount of time he's put in, and his willingness to prioritize immediate bug fixes is unheralded.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
You see the difference is that he said that AFTER being trolled by you and others.

The other difference, the really important one, he's a DEV and you're nowhere near it, he actually contributes to his peers, and the end user. All you seem to be able to muster out of your mind and keyboard are snide little comments about him and his work.

Things you said like this to Mike (I figure you're taking things out of context, why not me too)

"thanks for caring" (you said sarcastically)

"Looks kind of dumb" (responding to him saying to buy a game console)

"you wouldn't be in danger of saying things that don't hold water" ... he's in danger of WHAT exactly?

At one point you even equated his ROM/kernel to an old lady who drinks coffee .....

Then you called him a hypocrite .....

Here's the crazy part, given your history, and AFTER a moderator posted a warning, you thought it cute to literally do the exact thing I said not too. So, let's all take this as a learning experience:

When a dev says no (whether you agree with it, or how he proposed the "no") - it means no :cool:

When a mod says stop (^^^) - it means stop :cowboy:

Everyone, this issue dies here and now. I don't care if you were involved or not. If more posts arise from this event (or from this very post I'm typing) those posts will be deleted, and you might get some form of corrective action.

Thanks, flash something, you'll feel better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Thanks Duce! Onward...

I noticed something that might be affecting some of you with the sweep options. If you make (or even modify) your MeanROM.opt file on your computer using any type of notepad, it's possible that the CR/LF format of the file gets messed up. Bottom line: use ES File Explorer or Root Explorer on the phone and open the MeanROM.opt file using the phone. Go to the end of the line where it says "echo 1 > ..." or "echo 0 > ..." and see if there is a space at the end of the line! If you tap at the end of the line and it looks like there's a space after "sweep2wake", then delete that space at the end of the line and it should work.

That extraneous space causes the command not to work and it's caused by the difference between text file formats. If you flash the template and then only use the phone to modify the MeanROM.opt file, you should be OK. This extra space only shows up if you edit on a computer and push the MeanROM.opt file back to the phone.

Hope this helps.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smc333:
In my opinion you should keep the rom a little more simple. Getting too complicated with all these sweep2 everything. Keep it as it was pre-5.8 and make any sweep2 things an option for those who want a phone that does extra unnecessary functions. Just my 2cents, don't hate
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrshades812:
It's so easy to disable it though. I just flashed the stock kernel and that disables all sweeps. Also, the phone is fast enough at stock speeds for me.

On an another sweep related note: Nice job Duce with the removal of that post a minute ago... Lemme guess... Sweep2DeleteNoob? :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpenrod23:
I ran into the issue with extra spaces after I flashed 6.0 and realized that my MeanROM.opt settings did not take effect. After pulling my hair out for a few hours and finally looking at this file in Root Explorer and I noticed and corrected the extra spaces and voila! all worked as expected.

Thanks for pointing this out and as always, for the bada$$ ROM. :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Problem is, I think you're in the minority because most people are using them like crazy. And the default is still just the screen-on sweeps so no chance of anything happening in your pocket (well, anything related to the phone anyway) :). My plan is to leave everything alone but just make it even easier to flash different options without having to edit files. That should satisfy all.
