Thanks for the the thoughts. Yeah Seaside is toast. The amusement pier is now one with the Atlantic Ocean (saw pics of the roller coaster sitting straight up in the water). I know the Highlands (Sandy Hook) got hammered bad, then again anything on the coast either got flooded or washed away. Going inland you have all sorts of wind damage (uprooted trees, splintered poles, some flooding). Heard even J-Wow, and Snookie were pretty upset.

BTW there's a new drink out now call Hurricane Sandy....

SleepTweak

FYI for those of you who liked the concept of sweep-2-wake but had issues or excessive battery drain using it, you might be interested in checking out a program called SleepTweak that I've been using for nearly a year now, ever since I first got my EvoLTE. I'm not affiliated with the developer or this app in any way, just a satisfied user. :)

SleepTweak uses your device's orientation sensor to keep the device screen from turning off while you're holding it at a viewing angle, even if you're not actively touching or interacting with the screen (thereby saving your power button some use). In addition, if you purchase the Extras pack for 2.99 (extras are available for a limited 4 hours after installing so you can test them before deciding if you want to purchase), you can also set a stand-by time during which your device screen can be instantly woken back up after it does turn off simply by turning your it back into a viewing angle.

During this stand-by time (I set mine for 10 seconds, but you can choose anywhere from 1 second to 1 minute), the phone uses very little power and once the time limit has expired, the wakelock is released and your device cannot be woken anymore by rotating the screen. It will then proceed to deep sleep (so long as you don't have any other issues with your device keeping it from sleeping). Yes, BBS will show a large number of alarm wakelocks for SleepTweak but those are just for setting the initial stand-by timer if you're using that feature and will pay off in the long run by allowing you to set a lower Sleep delay for your phone overall.

The dev offers a good bit of detail in the FAQ on his website, as well in the Description at Google Play.

In any case, since this app cuts down on my use of the power button quite a bit, I thought some of you might be interested in checking it out too. And the stand-by period I mentioned, in which it's possible to unlock your phone simply by tilting it back to a viewing angle, is only active for a short time after screen off, not the entire time like Sweep-2-wake, so it shouldn't interfere with being in your pocket.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Well, it was a 16 hour day spent compiling kernels but it finally culminated in 5.8.1. The new 5.8.1 installs with the sweep2sleep kernel that eliminates the battery robbing, pocket locking sweep2wake feature. This is the best I can make it right now because the infrastructure itself seems to have an issue when there are many touch events happening at once: I can get the stock kernel to lock up with the panel ON if you register too many touches at once. So for now, for reliable operation and no battery drain, I think it's best to keep the touch panel off when the screen is off and only do sweep2sleep and not sweep2wake.

So the solution is sweep2sleep. It allows you to turn the phone on with power or the camera button and then sweep right to left to turn the screen off. When you get used to it, it works nicely because if you want to do something like look at the time or notifications, you can press the camera button and then your finger is already in position to swipe right to left to turn the screen back off. That beats having the touch panel active constantly when the screen is off, registering touches the entire time it is in your pocket and keeping the CPU awake every time the phone shifts in your pocket even slightly.

Also, 5.8.1 has both the (default) sweep2sleep and full sweep2wake kernels in the flashable folder so if you really want the power robbing pocket locking full s2w, you can have it. It also fixes the messaging app stuck-on-compressing bug.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Is having the HTC gestures enabled possibly causing problems with this sweep to wake? I always have it off, and always have 10 point touch with no problems. Just never install any other lock screen. I've been actually trying to get this sweep to wake to mess up. I did a test with yet another multi touch tester and if you have the HTC gesture on and touch the screen at 2 points and then trying to sweep to sleep, it freezes a bit. With it off, Sweep to sleep still won't happen with even 1 other touch going on but it won't freeze either though. Just smooth action. Just trying to help, anyways I understand and thank you for looking out for all of us mikey.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcvoss:
I asked that a couple of days ago. I had problems with s2w until I disabled the gestures. Ever since I disabled gestures no problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sslbaron:
I just checked mine, and my gestures has been off too. I haven't had any issues with s2w. Interesting.

I have also been watching my battery life, and I haven't really seen much difference with the s2w on. My awake time is pretty much identical to my screen on time. On my battery screen when my phone is awake, my screen is on. Other than when I was listening to music, my phone is not awake when the screen isn't. I understand that the touchscreen needs to be active, but I'm not seeing the big battery drain.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Not seeing a battery drain here either. I see no reason to leave 5.7 probably for a couple weeks.

hii... im newbie here,,,

but i have a couple question for this rom..

i dont like a sense UI from htc... very boring.. can im using theme from this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1759379 to my mean rom ver 5.8??

and for mikeyxda or any dev in here,, can u make option to us custom ui ics or jellybean but with meanroom?

thx for the advice..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
I hate sense too. I have used apex since I got this phone. It is based off the ics/jellybean launcher. Best launcher hands down better than nova, and very light, very customizable. I like almost everything HTC does with the software, ie better camera than just pure Google or CM10/11, but I don't like sense.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher

Edit: Also no I wouldn't use that mod you were from that thread, it hasn't been updated in a while, I would forget that. Buy the apex pro, it will take you at least the rest off the weekend to look through all the settings and update it to the latest beta as well.

Ps. I hope I was helpful, but on a side note, you can't go around asking for what you just did. It's too much, and mikey (who makes mean Rom) doesn't customize/change/destroy sense.

So I'm a bit confused and I plan on trying this ROM for the first time and have a few questions

1) When I flash the ROM, do I flash the kernel separately by extracting the kernel file then flashing them one after another?

2) When I update the ROM (when new versions come out) do I just do the same thing or will the kernel stick?

No there is kernel installer in the script:D

It's probably just coincidence. I tested this and it has no effect on the problem. I can readily repeat the lockups with HTC Gestures turned on or off. On a similar note, I hope I don't wear out my screen scrubbing it with Windex! When I make a change and want to test it, that's my only sure fire way of causing the problem: wet a paper towel with Windex and wipe away. I'll either have the cleanest screen on the planet or my screen protector will eventually curdle.

I've noticed the HTC music widget will change back to the first song on the sd card if I navigate away from the page the widgets on .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I just did my final test which convinced me that I'm sticking with sweep2sleep only and no sweep2wake! I installed the 100% stock HTC kernel and I can repeat the exact same problem every time on the stock kernel if I do my patented test (screen cleaning) while the screen is ON, so it is not a bug in the s2w code. On the stock kernel, when I pull up something innocuous like the calculator (no problem if random buttons get pressed) and I do my screen cleaning routine to test the bug, after a little wiping with the screen on, the touch panel goes dead and you have to press the power button twice to get it back. The only reason you don't see the problem on the stock HTC kernel is that the touch panel is disabled when the screen is off... and the screen isn't likely to be ON when you have it in your pocket (or you are cleaning it) so I'm sure the bug never surfaced until you have the touchscreen active while it's in places like pockets, being cleaned, etc. and the black/off screen is registering touches constantly.

I also know from experience from things like pocket answering when you pull the phone out of your pocket, that the touch screen is getting constant "hits" if you keep the phone in your pocket. So I don't like the fact that with every one of these random touches as you walk, sit, and move, the phone is being awakened from deep sleep and the (albeit small) section of code is being run to detect whether or not those touches are across the capacitive buttons. So I think sweep2sleep is the best answer at the current time. There are too many problems associated with the touch panel being active while the screen is off.

BTW, the entire panel is "awake" with sweep2wake active, not just the bottom buttons. That's part of the problem: there's no way to set up an IRQ for just part of the panel. It has to register (and wake on) every touch across the entire screen and examine it to see where it is, how many "fingers" were registered, what direction the motion is going, and so on. From what I see, that means that you could get significantly less battery life if you run the s2w kernel and you keep your phone in your pocket. Even if you don't keep it in your pocket, I'm not sure how much power the touch panel draws just being active and "watching" for touches. The data I've taken over the last two days suggests that battery life (all other factors/apps being neutral) is phenomenal with just sweep2sleep letting the panel sleep with the screen off: I got a 2% drop in battery over 8 hours last night with the default sweep2sleep kernel in 5.8.1. The night before when I was running full s2w (using 5.7) with the panel active on screen off, I used about 3x that figure: 6% drop in 8 hours. Still not bad... but not great either considering the phone was on the nightstand with nothing touching the screen. I'm sure that'd be much worse in a pocket.

Just fair warning... if you intend to use the full s2w kernel.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adhusky:
Ah it's swipe to sleep only. I think the swipe to wake is useful than swipe to sleep because my phone sleeps after 45 seconds.

Does I need re-flash back to 5.7 if I want it supports the swipe to wake?

There are kernels in the OP with and without sweep to wake :D

Okay, this needs to be said by someone. I know Mike doesn't care about it, but a lot of us here do.

I have been using MeanROM on my phones for nearly three years. It has always had the things users care about, Stability and Usability. It has always had features first that other developers have used in their roms.

It is ALWAYS the most downloaded, used and written about rom for our phones. Check this thread against any other rom for our phone and see how many pages the others have if you doubt me.

BTW, just fixed sweep2wake and will be uploading 5.9 later. Well, "sorta" fixed it. :) There's still a rare chance that when you pull the phone out of your pocket, sweep2wake might not work BUT NOW if that happens, just press the power button (or camera button) and all is good: everything resets and works again. So now all we have to worry about is battery life.
