Running old firmware...

Just as a reminder, if you are S-On and have not been able to do a full firmware update, it's possible you could experience issues related to the problems listed below.

[OTA] To 1.22.651.3 From 1.13.651.1 : July 11th

*Google security updates

*Wifi disconnect issue

*Time zone issue

*Google Wallet fix

*Side loaded video pause issue

*Random power cycling issue

*Pioneer Bluetooth Car Kit connection issue

*Gallery app crash

*Calendar reminder (all day even time) issue

[OTA] To 2.13.651.1 (MR2) From 1.22.651.3 : Aug 29th

* Browser no longer randomly closes from bookmarks

* Bluetooth fix (minor)

* Latest Version of Google Wallet

* Latest Version of Visual Voicemail

* LTE Scanning Improvement

I just wanted to post this because I see several posts regarding some of the issues above, especially those that I have put in bold and these issues could possibly be related to being S-On without full firmware updates. However, by going S-Off it will enable you to do full firmware updates that most likely will solve all of the problems that are listed. Hopefully this helps you understand why you may be experiencing particular issues especially if you are S-On and on base 1.13.651.1 ... food for thought.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
And, if you are S-on, you're best bet is to relock, run the 2.13 RUU, and take the Sprint/HTC OTA. That will get you updated to the new firmware. Then, you can use the tools here on XDA to obtain root, and get back to enjoying MeanROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Well, maybe not. I ruu'd back to stock and updated but the radio never changed. Going to root and restor enandroid I guess. Hopefully I wont loose my wifi again too.

Something I noticed rooting again is my hboot is the same after the ota 1.15
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
So, you are S-Off now and ran Captain_Throwback's full firmware updates?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Im not s-off. Can one get 1.15 s-off?

I think I did captain's firmware updates a while back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
If you didn't follow Mikey's instructions in the OP, then you won't get the full firmware. You have to re-lock your bootloader first.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
I dont see said instructions for the firmware, but I thought I followed them when the issue came out. But, I did relock the bootloader, then ran the RUU. Then ran the OTA. Radio still says 1.05 and hboot is still 1.15. So... Did I do something wrong? Why was I getting random reboots and loosing wifi?

Nope... maybe I need teh correct ruu... sorry...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
your baseband should be 1.12.11.0809
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Yea, I know. I dont get why the OTA didnt fix it. But I found the right ruu.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
So you followed the instructions found in the link below?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31520093&postcount=11730

If so I have no idea :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Yes, but it seems that I downloaded teh EXACT ruu I was already running. Radio and all. So Im downloading the correct one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
oooops :D good luck
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smc333:
Having the issue where if I turn off wifi it won't turn back on without a restart. Also I seem to be receiving some texts late and having trouble sending some with service.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Have tried to update prl and profile? Are you on the lastest firmware?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tm21fourt3:
Is there any (fixable) reason that I wouldn't be receiving pictures that I am sent via text message until an hour or 2 after the fact?

I know in the past (I believe even during the earlier stages of this rom) I would receive pictures if not right away, very quickly....

I always have pretty good service, and I currently have "CDMA only" turned on under Network Mode. Is there anything else that I should be messing with?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] midmadn:
This is a Google Voice issue and not related to MeanRom.

You need to login to Google on a PC and disable GV. Good luck. That problem was my worst nightmare. I HATE GV.

Jack
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] icethegreat:
I can assure you its not a ROM issue. Make sure you are running the latest firmware on your phone (as discussed on the last few posts). Read the OP and make sure your on the latest stuff too. Also, depending on where you live, sprint may also be working on your towers (LTE upgrade) & you may also experience wonky service.

Edit: oh yea & always update profile/prl too

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

That's weird because I've always received MMS (with 1st/3rd party SMS app), while using GV...

THIS +INFINITY
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Got a PM from someone having the crackle/pop over headset in calls. I know a couple people reported that in 4.1 when I installed the Beats/sound mods and when I went back to the stock framework with 4.1.1 and 4.2 it appeared to fix it, or at least people stopped complaining. If anyone is still having any problem with popping/crackling on a call with headset, I need you to try 4.2 (unmodified framework) and the 4.2.2 nightly (Beats modified) to see if there's a difference.

Me... I tried my SkullCandy headset and I don't have any problem on the latest 4.2.2 with Beats mods. Everything is clear minus the tiny bit of occasional line noise you'd expect from a phone call.

Thanks,

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Well, looks like I misread the PM anyway: the complaint was the earpiece speaker on the phone. But I guess what I need is for anyone having any sound issues anywhere: try 4.2 and 4.2.2 and see if there's any difference. I wouldn't expect there to be but I want to be sure the Beats mods to the framework don't cause any issues with sound.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] computim:
No issues with snap, pop or crackle... Oh that's my rice crispy cereal.... Seriously though I'm running 4.2.2 and have not experienced any sound quality issues on calls or listening to music. This was true on 4.2.1 as well. I have the beats monster ear buds.

Thanks Mikey for such a wonderful Rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
I am listening to my Bluetooth headphones with beats set on ur beats and sounds perfect, my ibeats also sound real good. 4.2.2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kenpen:
Using a non beats head set and sounds beaureful

Nice
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] midmadn:
How dare somebody knock MeanRom down from the top???????

That's even worse than putting Baby in a corner. :eek:

On another note: I'm a firm believer that first impressions are very important - We really need a new boot annie for MR. The one from UR/Evo is pretty nice just as an example. PLEASE Mikey or someone get us a new one. This is the absolute best Rom ever with the absolute worst boot annie ever.

Thanks, Jack

P.S. No offense meant towards whoever created the boot annie that comes with MR. I'm sure they worked hard on it and for the time and the knowledge they had it was probably cool. Times have changed though and it does not do this Rom justice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tallen2303:
Thanks! The only thing I'm confused about is I've never activated GV. Do I enable it and then disable it?

***The link goes to sprint picturemail's website to view the pics which, from everything I've been able to find, isn't supposed to exist anymore. If you go to the sprint picturemail website by itself it actually says it no longer exists. That's why I'm so confused about this.

TommyTomatoe is working on a tweaks app. Be patient grasshopper.

I got a 5420 quadrant score with this ROM and the new overclock mod
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
0.9 is almost done uploading. :)

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mondragon21:
I knew you couldn't leave us hanging:D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
OK. Have fun with 0.9. I'm going to get a few hours sleep. :) It comes with the stock 1.5 Ghz speed. Instructions are in post 3 on how to set OVERCLOCK="ON" in the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file. I picked 1.72 Ghz as the OC speed because that was the highest known stable speed on all phones.

IMO you don't get a whole lot of performance increase out of this OC mod even when you confirm both CPU's are running at the higher speed. At 1.7 Ghz, my phone only went from a 7100 AnTuTu up to 7400. I'm leaving mine at 1.5 Ghz because I don't see the need for the extra battery drain for only a small improvement. But that's just me.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
Shewww... For a second I almost thought you were human. Close one!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
My phone was stable at the 1.8. Quadrant of 5420.

Looking forward to more OC options when they become available
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
This is why I hate making reviews of your rom Mikey... You freaking update the rom the very next day (or even while I'm recording/editing). Kinda like the feeling of buyers remorse... You wish you would have waited... lol.

I can't download from my phone, because it's blocked on the public wifi here. So I'm downloading it on the work computer, and then I'm going to upload it to dropbox and download it using the dropbox app on my phone. YAY!

Oh man... The web utility for Dropbox doesn't support files that large. I can't wait for you to support GooManager.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travanx:
This is just mean. Htc should be giving you a bonus.

I'm having an issue where I am unable to download anything with my phone through the web. I first noticed this on .7, but now no matter what Rom I flash the problem remains.

Edit: flashed a stock Rom and downloads work again. Now flashing .9 to see if it still works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpinedac77:
After installing the Rom my signal is spotty at best. Did a full wipe, reinstall wipe again. I only have two mods installed wich are the Rosie 360 and the right menu button mod. Anyone having the same issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikevillarroel:
Hey mikey, loving the rom and the updates but i've notice the FC on the clock widget / app, is there any fix or other way to get to the alarm or do i need to install a third party app jost for that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EindhovenOne:
That didn't work. I still cannot download apps from the Play Store while connected via internet pass-through. I updated to v0.9, full wipe and factory reset, cleared data for the play store and everything. I can access the web, access my gmail, do anything else that requires connectivity and can even open and connect to the play store but whenever I try to download the apps I want I get that same "Waiting for network..." on the blue bar.

Anything else to try?

Oh man. How awesome it is to see this screen again.

Have you tried a prl and profile update
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djs415:
Menu button remap

Isn't the on screen menu button supposed to go away once you remap the multitask button to function as the menu? And aren't you supposed to get to the multitask screen by longpressing the back button? As of right now, I still have the menu button on screen and I longpress home to multitask. Running .8 and tried flashing the remap zip twice.

Besides that this is the best ROM I've used on possibly any of my EVOs so far. Thanks Mikey.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dude2k5:
0.9 seems damn nice so far. No problems that I've seen, but I just flashed and did a few bench tests. The built in OC is pretty good, the MOD OC works a little faster since its at 1.8, but still super speedy either way. Great work. I keep coming back to this ROM because you update it so much!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] teamrealtree:

i would like to see a revamped version something different. and i do like the current one but would be nice to see something fresh
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
We went through quite a number of them some months ago. The consensus was that people liked the mean Andy followed by a simple animation rather than the psychedelic flashing animations found on some other ROMs that really should have seizure warnings. So we stayed with this one. There's actually some utility to the one we have too: the spinning letters look a lot like a worm gear "cranking" something: like the cogs are still moving and (boot) work is still being done. Because of the way it animates, you can easily tell when you're in an infinite boot sequence that is never going to finish: the "gear" starts to spin a lot faster/smoother at which point you know it's stuck and will never boot. Well, comes in handy for me anyway when I'm testing mods. :)

i love this rom! i have been running your work for a while mikey.. first time i was rocking your awakening 3b tweak on top of clean rom 2.0 de.. then u blessed us with mean rom gingerbread for the evo 3d.. that is the most solid rom i ever ran on that phone... no other rom comes close.. then mean rom for the evo lte.. same deal!! NO other rom comes close.. i swear i always come back to mean rom.. always will.. mikeys the most bout it bout it dev!!!! and it shows in your work :good: thank you brO!!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lazer9:
Oh, my bad. I see, we are speaking of the textual based MeanRom animation that comes up just before final boot?

Well, I kinda like that one to but just my .02c so doesn't really matter as It appears I'm going to be heading back to Verizon and returning my EVO.

--------------

Can anyone verify for me the process as I mentioned a few pages back and as per my screen shot in using "Lazy Panda" to S-Off as to how to get this sucker back to vanilla "out of the box" stock as I will likely need to accomplish soon?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
I didn't mean to be condescending, just answering your post. I am just confused why you are willing to run a phone that is always having problems that can most likely be fixed with an update to the current firmware. As stated in several posts before I reiterated it. Even Mikey chose to go with the full firmware upgrade including the new hboot so he would be current and not experience the same problems you are having. If you are unwilling to take the help offered, then please, stop posting about the same issue over and over again if you aren't going to use the solution. Before you rant again, honestly ask yourself if it is worth having a misbehaving phone just for the hope that someday they may achieve s-off for hboot 1.15. Have you gone to Lazy Panda's irc and confirmed they are close to a solution or if they are even working on it? The installed user base that are still on hboot 1.15 is probably less than 1% of all users, so it makes sense that they may have already moved their efforts to the 1.19 hboot so more users would be helped. Again, no one is forcing or telling you to update, but please stop complaining if you won't use the solutions provided.

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Yes, since you are lazy panda s-off use the procedure you posted to return to stock. Read his instructions carefully and the thread to confirm that you can use this procedure on a non stock rom, you may need to be on an earlier base to complete the procedure
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
If you run the 2.13 RUU, there is no update to take from Sprint/HTC after this one. The RUU installs everything you need.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Mikey,

Can you tell me where the missing 3% might have gone?

And before anybody asks, it was from a full charge.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
People don't understand that, 99% of the time Crackle/Pop over bluetooth is caused by which CHANNEL you ended up on. Every time you pair bluetooth (after factory reset) it guessimates the "best" channel and it sometimes picks a poor one.

If you unpair I'm not sure if Android will try to use the same channel if you repair (Windows Mobile would). So the only way to force another dice roll was to remove it manually from the registry or factory wipe on Windows Mobile. I don't know how android handles repairing. But surely a factory wipe will throw the channel dice again.

If you consistently get crackle what I have done on every device is try to pair it at the Maximum distance under the most noisey conditions. Car has lots of noise, close to routers etc. This will increase the odds of finding a clear channel.

Note that WIFI uses the same spectrum as Bluetooth.

It's been this way forever. Some bluetooth device drivers might do a better job at hunting for the best (cleanest) channel.

It would be cool to build an app that you can force what channel it should use (or not use) like we can on WIFI Routers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
Just a couple of responses on this. Regarding the number of folks still on 1.15, please see the following:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1885537

The percentage is north of 30% of respondents.

Also, I don't think it's true that it's more likely that devs will move their S-off efforts to 1.19 now. My understanding is that the fact that HTC upgraded the Hboot indicates that they may have identified an exploit in 1.15. If someone can compare 1.19 against 1.15, they might be able to identify what was changed. With 1.19, there is nothing new to compare against.

Take this all with a grain of salt, as I'm new to this, but I've been reading a ton over the last month and this is what I have gleaned. And I may very well take the new firmware at some point, but I see no need to at the moment.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Even though your phone was fully charged and indicating 100% with the green light on, it may have been in a discharge state and really only at 97%. When the phone is charging and the green light turns on at 100% the charging cycle stops and the phone slowly discharges. When the phone discharges enough let's guess 5% the charger will cycle back on and charge the phone back to 100%. It will continue this cycle to prevent a constant charge on the battery while left plugged in. When you pulled your phone off the charger, it may have been in this cycle and currently only been at 97% charge even if it showed 100%. I see this happen a lot when I wake up and check emails or make several calls while plugged in and fully charged, when I unplug it shows 100% but shortly after it shows the actual battery level indicating the drain that occurred. I don't know if any of this made sense, as I was typing I got interrupted several times by my kids.

Damn kids...lol...yeah it made sense.

Sorry for the confusion towards my previous post about the boot annimation. I was referring to the spinning MeanRom letters.

I don't mind the concept, its just the end result isn't very appealing. Needs to have a nice clean uncluttered HD background and nicer looking letters atleast.

Of course this is just one happy MR users opinion. YMMV.

i am running the curent firmware/radio with 4.2 installed. hboot 1.12.

having a problem with updating prl and update profile. getting error 1012 and 1233. both come up with data connections. 3 days ago it was working but i think when i updated to 4.2 i ran into this problem.called sprint and they ran thru a bunch of setting under dialer but @ the end he ask if it was rooted,i said yes. so he asked to unroot it and call back.if i run an ruu to return to stock would it update the hboot and recovery and become unable to get s-off like i am now. and since i am under the the new firmware/ radio if i run ruu on the older firmware i think it would brick the phone by loading older firmware.

so do i run a new ruu and become non s-off

or run older ruu on old frimware and might brick my phone
