question to everyone else on this thread when downloading the Meanrom over the OTA Updater, have you gotten install fail and got stuck on rebooting the phone on htc logo? its happen to me three times today, lucky i always reboot into bootloader so i can load recovery n just reinstall meanrom 5.3. im downloading the new update via desktop n gonna transfer n install the new update that way, but has anyone else experience this from OTA Updater on Meanrom updates?

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

im always trying out your nightlies, so far my favorite has been meanrom4.4.2 :P very fast overclock, battery life didnt suffer, i still keep it on my phone to install it here n there when i need fast performance
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chewieez:
I'm also interested but only so that the group messages stay organized in a single thread. I don't care if my text goes to everyone so much.

As it works now, each message I receive gets placed in the thread for that individual. So with a group message to 10 people, if all 10 reply, my phone places those 10 texts in 10 different threads. With GoSMS, it recognizes the initial group text, and then places each new group message in the same thread.

I used to use GoSMS on my older EVO but have been enjoying the stock Messaging app on the LTE. This Group messaging feature is one of the few things I miss.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pre2epic4g:
The Group SMS feature is annoying and I hope its never implemented on Android. Its so gosh darn stupid that I must get all IPhone users replies especially when I dont know 90% of the people replying. Group SMS is one of the major blunders of IOS and I have never once met anyone that likes it. In fact, I hear more people complaining about it and or asking how they can stop it on IPhone and Android.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chewieez:
Did you read my post though? I don't care about the group sending messages. I want ALL those messages to be in ONE folder. Doesn't that make sense? Then if you did happen to get a text from someone you don't know, it would at least be in a central thread that is easy to erase.

We can't control what an iphone does, but we can control how our text messages are received and organized.

Side note:

It seems most of my iPhone friends have stopped using Group Msg unless they know everyone they are texting knows each other. All the ones I get are for small groups, like 10 people, and we all now each other. Makes it easy to plan outings.

Can anyone tell me if EITHER of their hotspots are working in the ROM? my iPad sees my SSID with the stock hotspot but doesn't connect and the wifi tether app can't pick up on my iPad at all... any thing I can?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tspideyr:
I set WiFi tether to the device profile of the Samsung galaxy nexus cdma/lte and it always works...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] toomuchgame441:
I could seriously kiss you... that worked!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pre2epic4g:
Yes, I read your posts. I am saying that Android should stop group message replies from ever showing up. Maybe this could be done per user choice at the carrier level or inside Android itself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gtownie:
Again, my opinion, but if you don't know everyone on the group, seems easier to start a reply sms to the sender (even as a new chat, or at worst to just remove the people you don't know when replying) than it is to get everyone's numbers and type them all in for each reply you make so that it goes to the group. I don't even know if the hack is possible on our phones, just threw it out there. Got tons of friends (read: all of them with iphones) that use this feature and the only one complaining has been me.

To each their own I guess.

Question: Swype Beta Users on Mean 5.0+

Anyone on MeanROM 5.0 and up, using Swype beta having any issues with haptic feedback? The issue being it doesn't work.

I have it enabled in Swype settings, but no joy. Stock keyboard has no issues with haptic feedback.

Haven't found anything in the Swype beta forums indicating a problem.

Appreciate the input. Har!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
i see what you mean, but what you ask can already be done thru apps, and most of them its using another social service, like Facebook Group Messaging, Google's Plus Circles, Google Talk, etc...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gtownie:
Right, I'm using gosms which is working fine. Just saw where some devs are integrating it into their stock sms apps and thought I'd pass it along. Would rather it be stock than have to use a 3rd party app.

Mikey busts ass to make sure we get a stable rom. I will say its is frustrating to have all these updates in the 5.0 series, however its for good reason. Nobody makes you take the update its all by choice. Either way i greatly appreciate all his work.

Mikey for Pres.

Great Rom I am grateful for the updates

I agree if you do not appreciate what you have here just go on to something you do like. Have a little respect for someone who works so hard for no reason other than he wants to give to the community. We have no entitlement
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] geomcs:
I didn't mean that that it's crazy that the other versions had bugs, just that its crazy for me to try to flash 3-4 versions of a ROM in a day. I'm definitely not new to flashing ROMs. I know there is a need to people to test every version released to find bugs and I wish I had the time to do that but some of us work at jobs that don't allow us the luxury of testing new ROMs all day.

I agree with Mikey, and I would recommend the same to everyone...read some of the lasts posts in this forum before flashing to see what's up. That's what I do and exactly the reason I am on 4.9...I usually only have time to flash on the weekends anyway so whichever version we're up to by then is what I'll be flashing.

I want to get the replies. I just want them organized into one thread.

I do not have a problem with strangers texting me replies, so I don't have a desire to not get the replies.

User choice sounds like a great idea. I like choice. That's why I choose Android. :)

Regarding the lack of haptic feedback on Swype Beta 1.3.1.9274.

Finally dug up a thread on Swype beta forums that acknowledges the issue and apparently 1.3.1.9410 fixes the issue. If you haven't yet received the OTA update (from Swype, not Mikey) you should be able to run the Swype installer again.

Also, I get a lot of error code 67 when trying to force roam than it sticks on 1x, once I tick back to automatic it than roams on 3g but than switches back to Sprint after a while. When I was doing this on older versions I never had a problem with the same corporate prl.

Is there a way I can force back to 8 recent apps?

I'm noticing random app crashing when my Recent Apps list is full as the system isn't automatically purging them from memory when it needs it for the foreground app. So I find myself having to manually go in and swipe to close them all myself, several times a day, and I never really had to do that on the stock Sense ROM.

BTW, the messaging and contacts lag I was experiencing on 4.x and previous Sense ROMs has all but disappeared with the current 5.x builds. I even went ahead and added SMS Popup back into the mix yesterday and still no slowdown thus far. Woohoo! *happy dance* :highfive:

After a few more days, I'll add Facebook contact syncing back into the mix too, but for now I'm still running with just my pure Google contacts, which sits at nearly 460+ contacts.

That said I've tried both, flashing the kernal from the boot.img file in the Meanrom and simple just wiping my phone and installing the rom. However, it fails immediatily and I'm not sure why. The error that I get is below. Please let me know if you have any recommendations?

My Thoughts On Versioning.

First off, I want to say Mikey is a fantastic developer. Best response time I've ever seen. Best turnaround time on hunting and resolving bugs. And he just plain makes a damn good ROM. I love how long my battery lasts and the performance of the ROM (for the most part, but that's not what this is about).

BUT, it really annoys me that anytime someone expresses an opinion even *slightly* against Mikey and his process, everyone jumps on this person and bashes them.

I'm going to say, one of the only things that annoys me about this ROM is the seemingly arbitrary Versioning. It would seem to me that common convention and best practice is to say that in version number X.Y.Z - X, being the major version number, should only change when there's a big overhaul of features/design from the previous number; Y, being a minor version, should change when a couple new minor features are added or major bug fixes; and Z really should only be used to change for minor bug fixes. Heck, even if we just want to do the X.Y versioning, that's cool, too.

At best, considering all the bugs and the haste, I think we should probably be at 4.9.5 (or maybe 5.0.4 depending on how you look at it). And THEN, if thought stable, 4.9.5 could become the new 5.0. Isn't that the point of versioning? To give your users a sense of what they're getting with your software?

Granted, I've learn to deal. I've learned to wait a few days after a ROM goes up and watch the forums before downloading. But, not everyone has that kinda time, patience, and effort to put into flashing ROMs. Some people look at the version number and go "okay, I'll download it". And many stay away from nightlies for the express purpose of trying to put the most stable ROM available on their phone.

Obviously, there are many people that feel this way and have commented as such. Myself, Fifedog, EVOuser94 and geomcs can't be the only ones that feel this way - there are probably many more that are afraid to speak up in fear of being attacked.

Yeah, sure, I've learned to deal. And ultimately, it's up to Mikey to change his thought process or not. Even something as simple as waiting an extra couple days to watch the thread for bugs before releasing major versions would make a huge difference. But, going from 5.0 to 5.4 in a 24-48 hour time span isn't, in my opinion, a sign that things are being handled properly.

No, I'm not going to use another ROM. Yes, this one is the best IMO. But, it doesn't mean that there's no room for improvement in process.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
I'm confused??? That is pretty much what Mikey does now. For example, 4.9.2: 4 being the major release, .9 being an update to the major release, and .2 being the nightly for testing. Now, 5.0 was the next major release to include the FAPPLE upgrade, there were problems so Mikey released a fix, 5.1 and so on and so on until we got to 5.4. Now when Mikey releases a nightly it would be 5.4.1. All of Mikey's releases for public consumption have always used this numbering system.

Now, hopefully I didn't bruise your ego, or seem harsh with this reply. But remember, this is the MeanRom folder and we are all Meanies so sometimes we may come off sounding a little mean.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pre2epic4g:
1.5ghz is stock

and u can flash the zip in the Mean Rom folder to go back to stock after install of a newer version.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
I use NFC Task Launcher and it works great. They offer really good support for the app and has extra features like keeping the nfc chip active during airplane mode. This app will work with just about any NFC tag. Also, you may want to grab the modded nfc,apk and stick it in system/app so you can launch tags when your phone is locked by a password or the screen is off here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1723193

I use the one for labeled for MeanRom 1.5. It works great with all versions of MeanRom. I have one of my tags stuck to my aircrew ID so I can enter and exit airplane mode just by swiping my phone against my ID. It was worth it for just that purpose. My company requires that our phones be password locked so this really speeds up the process.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sqeet:
That's my point, though... if he had waited an extra day or two on releasing 5.0 from the nightly testers, he'd have known the bugs and the 5.4 we have that is now "stable" would be 5.0.

Again, this is just my opinion. And I know we're all "Meanies" here. ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
This was simply a mistake that Mikey already explained and apologized for some pages back. Not arbitrary.

Once a busted version was uploaded as a realease though, that's it, no going back, too late, he had to burn through "releases" to get to one that is actually release quality as fast as possible.

I actually agree with everything else you said though.
