I just got the LTEVO the other day, rooted s-offed, all that stuff.

First thing I did after that was install this ROM, and it's great. Nice and smooth with great features.

The only complaints I have are that the I can't set notification sounds in HTC's email app ( or I'm dumb and missed it somewhere), and that swype doesn't vibrate on keypress when enabled.

But those are small things, all the important stuff and more is there. I look forward to future versions of this ROM. Keep up the great work!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
Are you talking changing the notification sound for Gmail? It's under the settings in the bottom right.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] obperryo:
Mike, here is something else I have noticed about the lag in messages. I updated to 4.9 and did the facebook sync test I posted earlier.. and it still did it. Normal use has not been doing it. Earlier when I was saying it was happening I commented I was getting some facebook notifications.. thinking maybe they relate.. Well, tonight I did some updates and had the notifications for those update in notifications bar and one notification of my yahoo mail. Thinking about this, I tried my messages and they were sticking on loading... went in and out three times.. all stuck to loading... then cleared my notifications and tried my messages and they worked right away. Maybe there is something going on with notifications locking access to the DB.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nevion:
Not a problem.

Just an FYI/heads up, Adobe Flash was also updated recently. I believe the P Store will update it but you have to find it in the "My Apps" list because it does not show as "installed".

No, HTC's email app. Sorry, should've specified which one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
Oh, have no idea then. I use Gmail for my personal email accounts and K9 Mail for my work email.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Brian419:
Like I said, it's a minor thing. There's still a notification sound, I just can't seem to customize it. But it's not something I'm going to start crying about.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
You an change it by going to personalize and selecting sounds on the bottom. Then you can set a different sound for each type of notification.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ekz13:
that's what I got too.. using adb to reboot into recovery and reflash, I downloaded directly from page 1 links vs using the ota downloader, still failed. going to try to find twrp 2.2 img file
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
From the home screen select menu, personalize, sound at the bottom, the notification sounds and select the one you want to customize.

How do you clear those miss call numbers that is at the bottom of those 5 icon? I cant seem to clear them now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] usopen:
Just thought I would throw my two cents in about the lag. The cure for me thus far was flashing the stock kernel. When I had flashed the 1.7 or 1.8 overclock the lag was terrible in the message app and phone contacts. It has nothing to do with Facebook on my end because I don't even have it installed nor have I had it installed for months. The lag is completely gone right now, but I will give it another day or two and report back to everyone to see if it is gone for good. By the way that was on MeanRom 4.8 . Before all the multitasking tweaks I never had an issue, so not sure what the deal is.

TWRP 2.2.2.0 Bootloader Method

Here is a confirmed good 2.2.2.0 bootloader image.

Just rename it to PJ75IMG.zip and place on the root of the

SDCARD

and then reboot.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/aw1p1ob68x37abg/PJ75IMG-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.zip

I had a hell of a time with TWRP 2.3.0 the other day (all day) ...Now I hear it is fixed with 2.3.0.1 but I think I will stick with 2.2.2.0 for a while!

Good luck
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ekz13:
2.3.0.1 is what is doing me in...ty for the file, for some reason I had to pull out my SD card in order to access it, ADB can't see the device, I reboot (after rename) and it's not working either, I'm stumped I have no idea how to get this to take, I can hear the tones when it boots (it's plugged in to the pc) but then just goes and gets stuck on the white HTC screen

tried both adb reboot bootloader and recovery and keeps saying device not found..

What if you go into twrp 2.3.0.1 and mount the sd via USB. If you get it on internal storage you can your the file manager in twrp to move file to external SD?

Or place on sd in a card reader via pc.

Also I am sorry..you don't just reboot ...you need to reboot into bootloader and select yes to update...

After updating through the OTA with TWRP 2.3.1.0 it failed and I tried to do it directly with recovery which also failed. So tried to reboot system now stuck on splash screen. The right side bar loads then stays white and stuck on splash screen...how do you get into recovery again?

Now what? I can do anything to my knowledge...

I think the issue is no ext4 file system support when plugging into a PC or Mac. Exfat is intended to improve on fat32 for portable devices, but I'm not sure if all Android kernels support it. Fairly certain the latest versions of Mac, Windows and Linux have native support for it. I think there is a wiki on it if you're interested.

Remove the SD card from the device, plug it in to your computer, remove PJ75IMG from SD card. Phone no longer will reboot on you when in hboot mode. You should be good to go.

I guess it makes him nervous. Sooo I am assuming you guys would recommend taking the ota upgrade to 1.19 so that the radio will match the base. My guestuon is what is the best way.. can I run an ruu ir is that only for soff people? So what.. find a Rom based on the older base and fastboot the kernel and than flash the Rom. Than what there is a relock command at HTC or in fast boot? Does installing a rom that is not routed make root go away and put the phone back at standard recovery. Than take the ota and do the unlock root all over agsin?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chewieez:
I have a quick question about kernels and going back and forth between different Roms.

I'm on Hboot 1.19 and am S-ON. I have been running MeanRom with no problems. I tried SuperLTE rom last night, and then restored a nandroid to go back to MeanRom 4.9. I pretty sure SuperLTE installed a new kernel. Am I correct to think that my nandroid restore did NOT restore my OC kernel from MeanRom, since I'm S-ON? If so what are my options for quickly and easily restoring a nandroid backup and getting the correct kernel? I don't have a lot of experience, yet, with fastbooting and such. I rooted and Dev-unlocked my EVO LTE, but I used to have a OG EVO which was S-OFF so I have never had to deal with extra flashes for kernels and radios.

My quick idea was to wipe everything again, do a fresh install of MeanRom 4.9. Then wipe again, and restore my Nandroid of MeanRom 4.9. I figured the clean install with put in the correct OC kernel, and then my restore would leave it alone since I'm S-ON. Is this correct thinking?

(man I can't wait to get S-OFF, this is all so much more complicated than it needs to be. I've read there is a new method to downgrade Hboot but I'm waiting for it to be more tested and to have a smoother (more noob ready) method.

Thank you all for your help. (And thank you Mikey for a great Rom!)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baknblack:
I'm waiting for Mike to cook it in, much easier. Love fapple.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Your nandroid should have restored the kernal AFAIK you can always check in settings/about/software info/more/kernel version it should say Mean-v0.1.xxxx the x's are the OC speed :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
Yup I can confirm that here too. FWIW, after my last contacts file reload (where I wiped data of Contacts Storage and People) and turned off all other external syncing other than Google. (Facebook and Google Plus NOT syncing, Twitter was never set up to.) I still had the hangs even though I wasn't loading anything but my Google/Gmail synced contacts. :(

Anyway, even though I'm now on 4.9 with Facebook moved to /system, and even without my Facebook contacts linked, and Facebook NOT running in the background, I still got the lag in my messaging app when it was trying to open a thread in Messaging (and accessing the Contacts file).

As I previously noted, my Google contacts file is 480 contacts, which is apparently over the 450 size limit Mike pointed out earlier, so I seem to be able to produce this hang even if I'm not syncing anything else to my Contacts file.

I'm not exactly positive on the proper time to save a logcat file to make sure all the relevant information is captured. If I pop over to the alogcat app after I've seen it hang in Messages, is it too late? Will the needed detail have been captured in the log already, or is it only from the point I launch the app? That's one thing I've never quite understood about properly collecting a logcat file. If you can give me a few pointers on the proper time to launch it, and whether it's okay to leave it running in the background for a bit anticipating the hang, I can hopefully get the most useful info required to squash this bug once and for all.

I saved a logcat nonetheless, and was planning to attach it here, but on looking at it, it doesn't look like it caught the contacts file database lock which appears to always be what causes the hang in the first place. (Thus my ? above about if I'm doing this in the proper time.)

In addition, and I don't know if this is related or not, I see SMS Popup reporting "Twitter Contact found" even though SMS Popup shouldn't have any links to Twitter, and I don't have any auto syncs to Twitter set up either. I use HootSuite which doesn't use Android's Accounts tab for configuration.)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
How many of the people with the lagging contacts or messaging app are on the oc kernel that installs with the rom? I have never had a problem in the past with overclock, but I saw in another thread that the problem went away by installing the stock kernel. So I tried this and I am not having any more lag issues in either of these apps. Now the lagging began for me about 2 versions ago 4.7 or 4.6 can't remember. I think this was the same time Mikey started using his own kernel for oc instead of zarbos's. Maybe their is something in the kernel that is causing this problem.

For those of you that are having lag, and are not on the stock kernel, try flashing the no oc zip in the MeanRom ics folder and see if the lag goes away. I haven't had the lag for 2 days now so give it a try and report back so we can figure this out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chewieez:
---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

I did check and when I restored MeanRom 4.9 it didn't change my kernel. That is what prompted me to think of an alternative way. My clean flash and then restore worked. We'll see how it all settles in today. So far so good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
I'm on MeanROM 4.9 and previously flashed back to the stock kernel right after flashing the ROM, and yes I'm still seeing the lag. For that matter, I had the same lag in the same places (access the contacts file) with the HTC stock ROM even before I was running MeanROM and it all started with the 2.13 build. So at least in my case, it's got nothing to do with the kernel.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Alright, fresh out of the oven... 4.9.1 nightly with FAPPLE and added messaging and contact apps to the no kill list (to see if that helps with the messaging lag).
