i give up the new roms just dosent like my phone i guess ill wait til another kernel is released
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
3.8 didnt have the automated kernel installer.

Its easier than you think

usb cable to computer, download 4.4 then in recovery click mount, then click mount storage. copy 4.4 to sdcard and click unmount. back arrow to main screem(install ROM).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
There's yet another way. This is probably the easiest:

(1) Flash /sdcard/MeanROM-ICS/overclock-off.zip

(2) Restore your backup

Hmm. Second thought, that may not work if you're s-on. Really the only surefire way of doing it is to do the fastboot instructions I posted earlier. It's easy and fast too. Do the fastboot flash boot boot.img and then restore your backup.

ohh 3.8 was before the auto install kernel.. but I fastbooted the kernel from my computer and it still didnt work.. well I connected my pc up to my phone in recovery and copied 4.3 over and it is flashing now.. we will see what happens..

............................................................................................................................................................ oh dear it is taking a long time to flash.. I guess that could be good.. flashing the kernel the first time took 5 mnutes....

...............................................................................................................................................................I guess today was not a good day for rom flashing. my husband flashed mean 2.6 (or some such) on his 3d and it broke his setup. for some reaosn play store went byebye... he went to his backup and I do not think he is going to try again.. it freaked him out..

................................................................................... oh dear it is still flashing....................................................................................................................................................................

Dude your a joke man really is this my first android phone lmao. Check the profile and you tell me. A response such as yours does nothing. I have the HTC hero running Cm and I have a sense rom I go back to once in a while and contacts show up clear on both. My wife Has the Evo4g running Tommy's Classic rom and contacts show up clear as well. I have a Htc evo3d running team d3rp rom and contacts show up fine as well. My brother has the 3d as well contacts show as they should. This is the only phone were I can't find a fix. Usually I just use a script in /system/etc/init.d set permissions and they usually render as they should. This isn't the case that's why I asked the developer of the rom. Member such as yourself are really irritating with useless post such as this. Next time check the profile of the member your quoting before ya ask a dumb as question and post a dumb as response. Also no is not a sense memory limt function I don't know were you got that from you must have made that up to make yourself look smart. Also its not a common thing because all of the phones I've modified does not have this issue without a fix. If your contacts are blurry on your other phones then its something your doing wrong. Next time dude post something usefull, this is one of the main reasons xda is getting out of hand. Have a good day.

I have the brightness set at auto.

Should also add, performance mode is set to Battery. The percentage of screen usage is a bit misleading. I'm not sure what it's exactly a percentage of. My awake time is only about 30min more than my screen on time, yet my total run time is close to 44 hours. Don't look at the percentage, but the actual screen on time instead.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I think I see what is happening. I suspect everyone can run 4.4.3 if that's the first and only version you install. What's happening for the s-on people is that if you're s-on and you flashed 4.4.2 and 1.89 is too much for your phone, you can't just turn around and flash 4.4.3 because if 4.4.2 didn't work properly: it's "stuck" on the 1.89 kernel: that makes it look like 4.4.3 doesn't work either... and it very wall may work! Not even restoring a backup will replace the kernel because you can't restore the kernel when you're s-on. Even if you try to flash 4.4, it can't do it because it has to be able to boot on your existing kernel (which is still 4.4.2) long enough to be able to restart and flash the updated one... and 4.4.2 won't boot for you at 1.89. See what I mean? That's one weakness of the s-on kernel installer: you've got to be able to boot at least far enough for the installer to kick in on your old kernel in order to install the new one! If your old kernel won't boot (for example, if your phone can't handle 1.89 Ghz), the only way to get the other (old) kernel back is to fastboot flash it.

It's actually quite easy and very fast to do:

(1) Reboot to the bootloader.

(2) With the phone sitting on the red "FASTBOOT" at the top, plug it in to the PC.

(3) Phone display should now say "FASTBOOT USB".

(4) Now save the attached boot.img (stock 1.5 Ghz 2.13 kernel) to your computer in a place like in c:\users\<yourusername>.

(5) Click "Start" on your computer and type "CMD" in the search box and press enter.

(6) If you're not already in c:\users\<yourusername>, type c:, enter, then type cd\users\<yourusername>, enter.

(7) Type fastboot flash boot boot.img

That should do it. You can now restore your old backup, reinstall 4.4, whatever.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] odawg1022:
Mikey

why did you lower the overclocking on 4.4.3?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Mikey,

I typically STAY away from oc, but I figured the lesser of the two oc would be no problem.

The stock runs almost as fast as 4.4.3, without the excess heat and various FCs.

I'm all for sticking with stock and adding as many cool tweaks as possible.

Just one man's opinion.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xanmanz31:
Probably bc some people were having issues with the higher OC

Sent from my Mean Ass LTEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Gravy Train:
It's just an alternate release for compatibility while maintaining an overclock. I'm sure in the future, Mikey will incorporate OC flashable ZIPs (or equivalent) into *OFFICIAL* releases.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xanmanz31:
I would agree also to a certain extent. However I will say after flashing 4.4.3 my phone runs smooth as hell and benchmarks are 300-400 higher on quadrant. I'm waiting to see how battery life will be on a full charge. I do like that my sticky settings are "sticking" lol. Overall ba pa ba pa ba 'm loving it.

I am s-off and I did a completely clean install. Wiped everything twice and everything went wacky. I was able to start the first time and it ran for about half an hour. It was smooth but then it just rebooted for some reason and never recovered. I tried to hard restart 3 times. Then I just rewiped everything and went back to 4.4. I do appreciate all the hard work. I've been with you since 2.8, and been loving every minute. Keep up the good work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Totally respect that. Since getting burnt on the necessary TWRP upgrade, I've been real gun shy.

I will say the longer it sits, the cooler the phone gets as well as increased speed. I think we will hit maximum velocity OC wise, and will get get cool features. Dare I say JB treat. Cherry flavor of course.

What does this mean, usually when trying to format internal storage or mounting in TWRP: "E:unable to open ums lunfile '/sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_mass_sto..." (the rest goes off the screen in TWRP)

It will still mount both internal and external storage, I mainly get the error when trying to format internal in TWRP (which will fail), but I can format internal storage while the ROM is running.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cherylbaker:
But I did not overclock
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sabbys:
My guess is when you do a full factory reset that formats the internal sdcard you get these errors. I get them all the time when I factory reset and flash. It seems like when you do that it the sdcard volume is bo longer mounted like TWRP is expecting. I have grown to just ignore them. I have not found anything breaking/not working when these errors happen. You can still navigate to sdcard2 to flash the zips there etc.

Someone can be free to chime in, but that is what I have guessed is going on.

Well, its definitely not because I'm doing a factory reset before flashing. Both internal and external can be seen by TWRP, and I can navigate both. I bet its a bug in TWRP. Can't format internal storage in TWRP, but I can external.

Well just for the record..once I got my phone back up I decided to try 4.43 since it seemed like that had a higher chance of working. Well it did not. Same as 4.4.2. But this time armed with the knowledge that it was just an overclocking issue I just went into recovery and flashed the overclock off zip and no harm no foul. So I guess no overclocking at all for me.

On another note.. when I download a zip and click on it and click flash it fails to flash. It looks in sdcard/ext_sd/ which fails and I have to manually do it pointing it to sdcard2.. is a sym link broke on my phone?? Or does that not get done till the phone is booted??

Hey Mikey,

Not sure you're aware of this, but there may be another way which some may prefer. I used to use this method when I was s-on on the Evo 3D. I haven't tried it on the Evo 4G LTE, and can't since I'm s-off, but if you have a tester they may want to give this a try:

Get a copy of your recovery's .img file and put it in the same folder as fastboot.exe on your PC.

Reboot to the bootloader.

With the phone sitting on the red "FASTBOOT" at the top, plug it in to the PC.

Phone display should now say "FASTBOOT USB".

Click "Start" on your computer and type "CMD" in the search box and press enter.

Change to the directory where fastboot.exe and your recovery image file are.

Type fastboot boot recoveryFileName.img

Leave the phone plugged in to the PC and flash the ROM in recovery as you normally would.

Reboot, then you can unplug your phone from the PC.

The nice thing about it is it's one step and you don't have to worry about whether the ROM has a custom kernel or not and you don't have to extract the boot.img file. Recoveries generally get updated less often than kernels, so I always found this way quicker and simpler.

I had to drop back to 4.4.3 due to the 1.89GHz OC causing random freezes, and boots. I believe that my phone operates at 1.7GHz much better.

I'm looking forward to the option zips for flashing the performance that your phone can do. Some are having great success at 1.89, others not so much.

I think the best way (I'm not a dev, so I'm speaking from no reference point) is to build on the stock 1.512GHz kernel, and include the overclock-1512.zip, overclock-189.zip and an overclock-off.zip as options for the user.
