Do you have your screen forced on or something when it's in your pocket? The volume keys are not active when the screen is off for that very reason! There's no way to hit volume up or down when the screen is off. Only the skip track feature is enabled and only in mode 5.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrshades812:
Mikey,

Does the 1.7 kernel in the mean ics folder have the s2w stuff, or is it stock 1.7?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
My bad, not volume, but track skip.

I'm on swipe 1 for shutoff, power and screen cap. It doesn't matter if it's swipe off or I physically press power.

Thanks.

Reboot your phone and the profile and prl will work. It's just a message that it couldn't refresh everything with sprint.

That is an issue with data services. If u have WiFi on try turning it off and try again, if that dont work then there might be service outage,

I had just rebooted but I did again and same thing. I'm not on wifi, I'm @work on 3g

Actually the opposite, if you cannot update your prl and profile, connect to wifi and try again.

There's nothing you need to turn on. It will give you a message after adding the account that it requires extra security, you click ok and it just goes away.

If you've added your account, try going to Settings - Security and disabling it there and see what happens?

Is anyone else considering the DirtyRacun S-OFF today? I've got 1.19, so I'm seriously thinking about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cohassetsteve:
I am new to the evo 4g lte and am rooted but without s-off. I have looked at the DirtyRacun S-OFF stuff and wondered what the advantage/disadvantage of s-off would be? I have come close to doing it, then I think, why am I doing this? Just cuz' it's fun to mess around with the phone? Can someone give me a good reason to do it - what's the gain and what are the pitfalls?

BTW, I am using MeanRom 6.3 and love it - thanks to the developer!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The biggest reason I would say to do it is that if and/or when the JellyBean update comes, you'll likely need an HBOOT update for it to work. And without S-OFF, you won't be able to go back to ICS, or get S-OFF anymore until a new exploit is found.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jackzepplin:
The Captain answered one key element, but I was also looking to Section III of the 1st post in this thread. Seems like S-OFF users have fewer issues to deal with if they are flashaholics like me.

There was a rumor floating around yesterday that JB for our phone was being released yesterday, but I haven't seen any follow-up. I'm ready for some MeanJellyBean!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
So Im still getting lag on my ROM and am having to reboot or at least kill all apps (sometimes both). Mikey, this is still better than before, but I wanted to give you my logs. Ive been away from a computer for almost a week. Sorry about these being late. They are named appropriately. Thanks Mikey!

I wonder if HTC is trying to get this fixed before releasing JB?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
It could be a wifi credential that does this as well (maybe?). I would try removing the account and re-adding... But I'm running out of ideas :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] guyver2077:
I am getting stuck on mms compression again..Everytime i try to attach a picture to a message, it just gets stuck on compressing...

What is the solution for this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Ok so I don't mind losing the sweep features. I'm still on 5.7 it's that good. So if I update the Rom this weekend and use a different kernel, I'll lose the sweeps, but my question is that this won't have any change in how the music volume performs? I need to keep my phone I'm my pocket all day at work and set the music on shuffle, lowering and raising volume as needed and change tracks with the volume buttons. This is such a kick ass feature I almost can't live without.

I just want to be able to keep updating mean Rom but not the kernel features basically.

And when jellybean does drop and if source takes a while to come out, I'll probably be one of the only ones to hang back on ics until the roms/kernels get pumped up again. All ya gotta do is put it outta ur head. I'm not one to lose mods I've waited a while to get back again and again vs having a great stockish phone with a bit more features that mean less to me.

Message lag is still poking its head out.

Sent from my EvoLTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Randy D:
Hey folks. Was poking around General thread regarding LTE. Big debate over poor antenna vs. firmware/prl for this phone. I got 14 mbps/ roam is going through a brick wall. They are bickering like crazy. Many posts have been made that SGS3 has no issues. Would like opinions being this is a more intelligent thread. Love my LTE and this rom. but have experienced issues they are discussing. Might be the roll out. Responses would be welcome. Obviously...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jackzepplin:
My wife has a SGIII and of course, I have the HTC. I see little to no difference other than sometimes she has a LTE signal and I don't, and sometimes I have an LTE signal and she doesn't. They can argue until their blue, but I'm happy with my phone and she's happy with hers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I'm done with chasing the lag problem. I've done all I can do and it will be up to HTC to fix their bugs from here. The three of you who have lag issues: not sure what to tell you. I have a feeling some app or utility you are using is making the lag problem much worse (show up more often). But I have no further info on what that could be.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Mike, can you share what you were seeing as the cause of the problem and what you did to try to fix it? I'm not asking you to try anything but knowing that I can try eliminating apps that could be causing the issue.

Sent from my EvoLTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Ditto. I know it's an HTC issue. I just want to help fix it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Sure. I noticed two things that were consistent across all logcats:

(1) The process for HTC Contacts was getting killed frequently, sometimes hundreds of times in just a few minutes.

(2) Most had errors about indices being out of bounds in the contacts database (indicates contacts db corruption).

My fixes were a two prong approach to address both of the above. I added the HTC contacts app and the messaging app to the list of processes that are not to be killed. This stops the repeated killing of those two tasks and may stop database corruption if that corruption is being caused by task killing. I also added sqlite code that reindexes the contacts database on every boot: so if there is corruption, a reboot should fix it (unless the corruption is not fixable via reindexing).

From my standpoint, that's all I can do. Obviously since the stock ROM has the same issues, it'll be up to HTC to take it further.

P.S. 6.4 is heating up. It will update many of the core apps and it adds a "deep sleep" sweep feature that allows you to turn off the screen-off sweeps temporarily by simply sweeping right to left a second time (after the screen is already off). Doing so turns the panel completely off until you press power or the phone wakes on its own (incoming call, etc.). This allows you to completely turn off the touch panel whenever you like.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Would deleting the contacts and allowing them to resync, instead of importing them, help at all? In your opinion of course.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Seems to help most people, but a couple report that it eventually comes back. I still think it's a misbehaving app. With all the apps that just got updated today: Facebook and Google Plus to name two that are related to contacts, it's possible there's a fix in there.

One can hope.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crab_colony:
I've been on 6.3 for a couple of days and have only seen one incident of a lag, which only lasted about 5 seconds (much less than the usual 30+ seconds I was experiencing before). But my lags before were sporadic, so two days is not a huge sample size. After installing 6.2, I continued to have lag issues so I cleared my Contacts and only synced it to Google. Seems to be working mostly fine now. Previously, I had my Contacts synced to Google, Google+ and Facebook. If the reduced lags keeps up for the next few days, I think I'll go ahead and try to sync my Contacts with Facebook again.

I know people had tried clearing their Contacts and re-syncing it before, but maybe you have to do it while on 6.2 or higher?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Those of you with LTE in your area can you test this app out? It's from the sg3 and is supposed to give us better 3g/lte handoff management.

Idk where he got it from but for now I credit regalpimpin for the find.

Instructions - "copy to system/app and set permission to r w -, r- -, r- -, and reboot. You will then see the connection manager listed under settings->apps->running. There will be a process and a service running.

About 5-10 minutes after the reboot, I got a pop-up to either accept or decline the connection manager." - regalpimpin

I've just received my pop up while typing this so ill be reporting back some time tomorrow. He stated that while using this app for a full day on cmx he got 30% bump in battery life so im hoping to see some sort of improvement myself. Let us know what you find plz and TIA:D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
6.4 is our Friday flash. Can't let a Friday go by without a flash. :)

Updated a bunch of core apps plus...

Added sweep2deepsleep: Just turn the screen off with a right to left swipe and then give it a second right to left swipe to enter deep sleep mode: where screen-off sweeps are disabled until the screen is turned back on via power, camera button, etc. This allows you to turn off the touch panel temporarily so that swipes have no effect while the screen is off. This is useful for times when you want to play music with the phone in your pocket and you don't want to risk inadvertent sweeps caused by phone movement in your pocket. Full swipe capability is restored the next time you turn the screen on and off again. Sweep2deepsleep works in all modes where screen-off swipes are active: modes 2, 3, and 5.

Thanks, Mike, coolness as always. Here's an embarrassing question from someone who's been flashing every version since 3.0 or so: where can I find the MD5? I've always found it in one of the download links, but I'm not seeing it tonight? I always verify it before flashing....

Nevermind--found it. I had to click on the "0" under the "Cmts" column next to the Zip file----then I got to the page that used to show up from the link.

Hey all I have a question. I'm currently on Viper and am wondering if MeanROM has status bar tweaks like there are in the Venom Hub on Viper? Can MeanROM be customized with app draw wallpapers and a transparent navigation bar? I personally like everything customized so is this a ROM for me? Or is everything mostly stock with a couple added tweaks? Thanks and I appreciate it.

anyone try hat new liberty kernel with this rom?? im running it at 1.7 same as default kernel that comes in mean rom and im getting way better quadrant scores.. at the same GHz 1.7 its the same as the kernel thats in mean rom just u can underclock and it was compiled with lirano.. so its faster!!! good stuff..

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Mikey you are hands down the lead developer for this phone. Never have I stayed with a single Rom this long as I've been with android, lol. Just use a knightwolf skin, Apex launcher, n a couple other apps, and a very different custom look is easily achieved. But not so different that it destroys Mikey or HTC's hard work. No need to ever go to aosp or cm again and loss things like a bangin stock camera. keep up the great work.

Been using this ROM for a couple days now. I absolutely love it! Thanks to mikey and anyone else that had anything to do with it. Greatly appreciated by many. :good:

One question I have, as I'm new to the whole updating a custom ROM thing, especially with OTA Updater. That part seems like it would be easy, but I'm curious as to anything it may change I should be aware of to change back, if anything?

I know about the sticky settings and have those, so that should be fine, as the MeanROM.opt file never gets changed by update flashing the ROM..?

I noticed the Facebook and Google+ apps were updated in this new version. I uninstalled those, so I take it it would reinstall them?

Thanks for clearing these things up. :)

I gotta be honest, I thought this whole sweep stuff was officially getting out of hand with 6.4 and the s2ds - but I realized that this makes perfect sense for the person who uses s2w - like me - and putting the phone down for the night.

Yo Mikeyxda... Can you get USB OTG working in the kernel. I was using awesomesauce, but decided to stick with the original kernel in 6.4. Can it just be a stand alone flashable zip?

***I Got That White Girl, Call It Amy Winehouse***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
Mikey,

I've got a request that I'm not sure is possible or that you'd entertain, but...

One of the things I love about the sweep stuff is that it's pretty quiet. I'm probably not the only one that uses it in bed next to a sleeping significant other.

Is there any way to change it so that using the phantom buttons for volume doesn't make any sound? Right now, you get the increasing or decreasing tones or just the loud beep or vibrate at each end. Having that completely silent when using phantom would be great. Similarly, any way to toggle the haptic feedback without flashing the zip? I love jackhammer, but at night, having the decreased haptic would be a bonus because it's so much quieter.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yeah, it makes sense too: now we're balanced on both ends. We already had double-wake for extended power (sweep left to right to turn the screen on and a second time with the screen already on for extended power). Now we have double-sleep for extended sleep (sweep right to left to turn the screen off and a second time with the screen already off for extended sleep). It just made sense, and it addresses those who want to use the full set of gestures but want the option to turn them off temporarily at "special times". I wish I had it that time I got stuck in a downpour and had to walk around for hours with damp pockets.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Los Altos:
After flashing 6.4, S 2 W should now be a default correct? Because from what I can telll, my sweep options have not changed at all with the new version
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
I get that quite regularly from friends who use Verizon. Not every time, but often, and only my Verizon friends.

from an EvoLTE on crack. No, wait. That's me...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
I don't believe the default changed. Also, whatever is in the Meanrom.opt file will endure a flash.

P.S. I LOVE the new option---makes the swiping pretty perfect, IMO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
Why not just put your phone into Silent mode at night so all system sounds and beeps will be suppressed.

---------- Post added at 06:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------

Same here, though it's definitely less frequent and shorter than before.

I apologize for not being able to take a logcat. I was in my truck when it happened. I also had some lag in making a phone call too, with it taking so long I thought the phone wasn't registering my taps at all. :\

I did try running for a day using Friendcaster instead of Facebook to see if the lag was related to the Facebook app, but I was still experiencing it which tells me if it is indeed Facebook (as Mike originally thought), it's more likely the Facebook for HTC Sense, and not the Facebook app itself, that's the problem.

In any case, I'm happy with the changes Mike put in to try to combat it, and at least now a reboot fixes it properly too. We'll have to wait for HTC for something more official.

Thanks again Mike! A little donation should be coming your way soon as I pay the bills this week. :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MexPwrEng:
Mike,

This definitely is a great Rom. I find myself always coming back to yours frequently. :D

I'm really enjoying the ability to be using the hardware buttons as less often as possible to avoid wear and tear.

I do have a request. Is it possible to include a "reboot" button in quick settings as well. This willl also prevent from using the power button as often.

Mikey, I just wanted to chime in, I was one of the ones with severe lag in both messaging and people widgets. Sometimes waiting a minute or more after touching on a contact in the people widget before it would dial the number. I have not had any lag since you implemented your fixes. You have made my phone fun again. It was driving me mad with the lag and now there is no more. You did a great job for the majority of us that had the lag problem. Keep up the great work.
