Wow !!!!! falshed the 1.7 Overclock and my phone is FAST !!!!!! also some how the battery last forever!!! Used it all day yesterday, left uncharged overnight and this morning still at 68%
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
I noticed I'm getting a little clicking sound from time to time through my speaker. For instance, if I adjust my ringtone volume using the rocker button, a second or so after the ding, I get this clicking/pop/static sound.

Is anyone else getting this? Can you try using the volume rocker to see if you can replicate this?

Edited to add that the clicking does not occur at every step up and down the ringtone volume setting via the volume rocker.

...and it is happening when my email notification goes off too. I hope this isn't a hardware issue. Please, someone tell me it is happening to them too. I wonder if this is related to the Bluetooth cracking sounds issue reported.

Battery mods out there?

Been running 4.5 for a while. Outstanding performance and battery life. I went looking for battery mods to change the icon at the top and could not find any thing. I tried the battery mod thread in EVO LTE themes and apps and received a different quicksettings menu andforce closes on the recent app drawer.. Any one have any ideas? Mainly trying to get the honeycomb look.. thanks in advance?

Hey,

I looked around the forums and tried to find something about wiping batter stats. I am running TWRP 2.2.1 and I don't see wipe battery stats as an option anymore. I hear it's not really necessary, but I have been getting ok battery life out of 4.5 but not what other people are reporting. Also it seems that when people are OC they it sounds like they are getting batter battery life or am I wrong. Ans can someone tell me the settings the 1.7 OC uses, such asundervolting, overvolting, etc. And last but not least, when I flash the 1.7 OC from recovery am I wiping cache and dalvik as I would in older evo's.

Thanks Nate
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Mike, the instructions are not there. You did not read my question correctly. My question was about undoing the overclock mod if necessary. You have instructions for s-on users if they have problems but not s-off. Bancalif provided an answer though.

Why isn't a 4x5 layout a priority? That is a highly desirable feature for phones with screens this big.

Sent from my EvoLTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Oh, I thought the instructions for s-off carried through to both flashing OC and flashing stock when I said that s-off can simply flash and reboot: so just reflash the ROM and reboot.

As for the 4x5, it isn't a priority because I've spent all the time that I'm going to spend on it. I spent an entire day (about 12 hours) on it and that's it. I don't have an infinite amount of time to work on these things. It's also not a priority because there are plenty of other launcher options out there so if 4x5 is paramount, people can use another launcher or decide if the widget overlap on a few HTC widgets is problematic enough to stick with 4x4.

Suggestion for a change

The OTA updater downloads to the internal memory. That fills up pretty fast (in about 8 versions of MeanROM, or approx 3 weeks) - might want to default it to the external SD card.

Kept getting failures to download and finally had an app tell me I was too low on space and noticed I had 76 meg free on the internal with 6 gig or so of Meanrom downloads.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
Or delete some of them...No need to keep them all. I only keep the current version on my phone. If I need a different one, I can download it again from the phone or my computer.

MMS compression disabled

I'm sorry for my ignorance but as i understand it, this ROM disabled MMS compression. I sent a picture via the stock messaging app, my original photo of 1.15 MB was reduced to 204kb. When I used the Go SMS app, it reduced the same picture to 73.88kb. What am I doing wrong? Is there something I was supposed to flash like the overclock.zip in the meanROM ICS folder or a setting on my phone I was supposed to set in order to disable MMS compression?

Thanks...

4.6 is ready. Only change since 4.5.1 is that I added a bunch of browsers to multitasking so they don't get killed: stock Sense only elevates the stock browser's priority but this update should take care of all of the popular browsers, making them stay alive longer.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
Your comment inspired one thing in me, I took the 4.5.1 file I had and I ran Flash GUI and reflashed the kernel on to my phone, and yes, that took care of the issue right away. I guess I was left back and the Kernel changes from the different versions haven't been getting applied correctly.

Thank you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Mikey. Ok, this is probably a dumb question, but if I use a different launcher, does that negate all the improvements you made to Sense? For instance, you just said you made some priority adjustments to Sense.

Hey Mike just wanted to let you know I was on 4.5 oc with Evil and I was at work listening to Tune-in and playing a game. Shut off Tune-in and closed game and went to change cloths to get ready to go home. Got out to my car and took phone out to put in the car dock and nothing! It normally goes right to Car Mode and shows that it is charging. So I took the phone out of the car dock and realized pushing power button and camera wake that it wasn't on!? Somehow the phone turned itself off. So I tried to power up. No luck. Second try I held the pwr button for about 20sec then on 3rd attempt I held it for about 30 secs and it finally came to life! I thought that my phone finally went tits up. After it started I had to re-pair blue tooth to my car as it must have dumped certain info. Anyway I am up to 4.6 now but leaving the kernel stock for now. Reason is because on the evil oc I had several aps force close. I just don't think the oc kernal is clean enough and I don't want to brick my phone. Just wanted you to know. This was really my first major incident...

Thanks. Appreciate the report. 4.5 has multitasking issues though, so it may not be related to the kernel. 4.5.1 and 4.6 fix those problems. 4.5 was causing FC's, browser locks, etc. and I fixed it in 4.5.1 (and 4.6 of course).

Freeze those two apps in Titanium Backup and you won't have that problem. Disable the camera button completely, and you won't get the proper camera app, because running it via the app in the drawer only lets you take pictures, no access to the gallery and no video.

OTA updater

Does anyone use the OTA updater to update this ROM. I decided to try it out and I clicked data and cache to be wiped thinking it would be a full wipe but it doesn't seem like a full wipe because everything on my phone was retained. Anyone else notice this???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Beherrschen:
Assuming you haven't deleted the file yet, you could just reboot into recovery, wipe everything, and then install the update zip inside the OTA directory manually.

Best advice i've got since i didn't try to wipe data with the OTA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chewieez:
It doesn't work that way on my phone. I just tested again to be sure. The camera opened from my app drawer is the same as the camera button.

(In my case, if I have a 3rd party camera that also wants to use the hardware camera button, then that screwed up the Sense camera and gives me the one without access to the gallery and video.)

What your picture shows is the half-press camera button. Do you want to remove the search function from the half-press camera button? If you do that's been answered many times in this thread, and a good search will find you answers how.

Or, because I've answered this question so many times I decided to do something about it, you could just flash this zip I made to do it for you. I included an "undo" zip as well.

Did you install a non meanrom mod. Sounds like something you installed disabled one of Mikey's tweaks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tntsjp:
I don't think i have since I really don't know what a mod is. I've only installed apps and bought the nova launcher last night to try out - back on Sense launcher now. I installed 4.6 today and flashed rosie 4x5 and overclock zip. I just rooted a few days ago and this is my first ROM on my EVO LTE.

4.6 running like a champ!!!! see how good she sleeps tonite :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Gravy Train:
I'm using the stock (ICS) Exchange and Android mail apps instead of that preloaded HTC-molested garbage. Since the stock ICS versions have to be manually installed to /SYSTEM/APP, what's the best way to retain or restore them through a MeanROM update? Titanium Backup will only get them if I backup/restore system data and I'm not sure that's a wise thing to do with an active Exchange account.

Hoping the answer isn't to just re-copy the apps manually and set up my accounts from scratch every time the ROM is updated. I spent a good bit of time trying to find the settings and restoring accounts tonight. 4.6 is damn smooth though and Nova fixed my complaints about the Sense look/feel.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
No, ROMCleaner has a text file that lets you edit so you can decide on what to remove. However, the camera is never touched regardless (unless you add it in the text file that you want it to delete it)

I'm just removing the launcher. The camera app is separate. Aftermarket launchers will see the same apps on the phone that the stock does. Also, they can be configured much more than the stock launcher can. Nova can adjust anywhere from just one app on the home screens to something up to 7 in each direction, unlike Rose that's fixed at 4x4.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dmlavign:
Go sms has a setting internal to its settings to disable mms compression, believe it is under the mms settings 'preserve image size'
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
Thank You!

Mike, can you add the instructions to do whatever these zips do to one of the first 3 posts? Or add the zips themselves to the included meanrom-ics folder? Or make the setting configurable some other way?

If this were shown in the first 3 posts with the other customization directions, I would have found it and not had to ask, just as I did for the disable-camera-wake instructions.

Now how to disable the full press bringing up the camera?

I don't think these are behaviours that should be made default, and certainly not without some documented way to adjust them. Too quirky, too personal. Fine for one person, hell on another.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:

that's not a half bad idea. would probably have to put in a piece of plastic to stop dirt and stuff from going in the hole though.

Yeah full-press camera button to open the camera is an HTC thing, not MeanROM. I haven't been able to disable it (I personally like it, but I did look into it with my limited Android knowledge).

You really have to hold the button down a few seconds to activate the camera though... I've never had any accidental activations. Had a few times where I didn't hold it down long enough which I found a bit annoying...

Sorry if this has been answered before or if this is a dumb question, but....

If I go from 4.5 to 4.6, do I have to reflash the 1.728 overclock zip again? If so, can I use the same one that's already saved on my SD card or will it change with each new build (i.e., I need to pull the file from the 4.6 zip)?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
You do need to reflash it. I would recommend using the one included in 4.6 in case there was any changes. Are you S-On? If not you can just flash the zip after flashing the ROM.

Are you not able to flash the OC zip if you're S-On? I thought you were able to with Mikey's and hausx's fix.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
I'm S-Off, so flashing it is not a problem. The reason I'm asking is because I used the OTA in order to upgrade. Unless I'm missing something, it's just a bit more of a hassle when you use the OTA because trying to move the OC zip file from the ROM onto my SD card. Is there an easy way to do this? I've tried using the file explorers and can't seem to move it easily. Thus, I end up downloading the file on my computer, extracting the zip, and copying to my card that way. Since I already did it with 4.5 and the file is still there, I was wondering if I could use that one.

Is there an easier way to flash the OC zip if you've upgraded using the OTA?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
after the OTA is done just cancel it and boot into twrp and add the OTA file and then the OC zip they will flash in that order with 1 session :D
