S-Off Very Intuative Step by Step Instructions....

Same here. Just purchased my LTE yesterday. Got it for $150 from BestBuy with a price match from Radio Shack if anyone knows someone getting one soon....Anyways, Rooted using Regaw which went perfect and then did the LazyPanda. I found an even better step by step instruction then the 475 post. It went perfect as well the first time. Zero issues. Just follow that and anyone should have no problems at all. Here is the link I used...

Mikey, I did a fresh install of 1.7 this morning. Went to set MMS max size to 5M and it only has options up to 1M. What did I screw up?

To troubleshoot, I cleared cache of Messaging app in apps/all, did a wipe all from TB for the messaging app, and then rebooted to recovery and cleared cache and dalvik. It is working fine, just only allows max size of 1M. I want my 5M back!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
So ive been reading about the infamous three dots. I see that Mikey post that it was going to be removed by default after 1.0 and beyond. I still see three dots with certain apps like ESFile Explorer, PlayerPro etc.... So just curious, which three dots exactly were removed.

Thanks

Did you restore SMS/MMS/APN Dialer storage, with Titanium Backup? If so, that's your problem. As far as I know, only a clean install will bring back the 5M limit.

Silly question.... If Ice Cream can make virtual buttons, why does no one take advantage of this? Could be extra real estate to work with, or make the phones smaller.

You would still want a few physical buttons on the phone for various reasons (camera/focus, power and volume). Besides, you only want non-smart phones to be small (like flip phones). I feel that a 4-5" screen is big enough for a phone. Any larger, and its a tablet.

Hey Mikey,

Any sneak peek of the next update to the Rom?

I'm already missing flashing updates to my awesome phone to make it even more awesome!

Just want to say, Great Rom and thank you for the time you put into it.

high five :D

Agreed. I already feel like I'm holding a tablet to my head. It's the 2012s' version of walking with a big boombox on your shoulder. I would love to take 1/2 " off this phone and go virtual.

Then there is the galaxy iii. They have 1 hard and two soft buttons that are very tough to see and use. They should have made the soft buttons virtual.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] long_tall_texan:
Yes, I did. And I thought that was what broke it. Guess I'll do an sms backup in the messaging app and a clean install when 1.8 drops.

Speaking of TB, what is safe to restore from on rev of a ROM to the next. Basically, since SMS breaks, that just leaves me with the following that I think are safe to restore without accidentally messing something else up:

All user apps and data

Bluetooth pairings

Wifi Connections

Dictionaries

Bookmarks

Face Unlock Data

Sound Settings - sometimes works

List of things that don't restore clean:

Accounts

SMS / MMS

Gmail settings

Contacts

Calender

Email Account Settings

Can someone confirm for me if youtube app is broken on 3g on the latest version of the ROM? I keep getting connection to server lost tap to try. However, on the other phones in the house it works fine so I know this isnt a youtube issue. On wifi youtube works fine however.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sabbys:
Three dots in ICS means it is a menu button. ICS replaced the menu botton on the phone with a menu button within apps. The infamous part is that pre-ICS apps that have not been Halo themed have a black band at the bottom (or side if it's like Angry Birds, i.e., landscape) with the three dots in the middle that take up nearly a half in on our screens. It is annoying because even if the app does really even have a menu it will still have that band there.

Now there is a flashable mod called remap-right-to-menu.zip in the MeanROM-ICS folder on the root/mnt/sdcard that you can apply after flashing. It makes the "recent apps" button the menu button and home long press recent apps. One note, I use NOVA and when I tried to flash the mod after I had been using this rom for a while it would not work for me but when I flashed it during a clean re-flash it ended up fine.

Another menu mod observation. After this fix you no longer see the menu button that was there before for ICS updated already apps, like Root Explorer. This has thrown me a bit and I am getting used to it. It just seems like if the menu button was there before it should still bethere now. But I guess this mod is a toggle either/or situation.

My Google Play app will no longer download after 1.7.

Ok this is rather odd. I did a clean flash of 1.7 this morning and restored my setting and some of my apps through Titanium but now Google Play app will not download. My wifi is fine, really pretty fast actually.

I rebooted into recovery and cleaned the cache & davik and restarted - still no. I stopped Google Play in app settings and cleared the data - re-tried to download - still no.

Any Ideas?

I see a lot of people having issues with the rom, you guys can save a lot of headaches just by wiping before installing a new update of the rom and start fresh without using your TBU backups also. (restoring data backups has always been an issue)

I don't have a single issue with the rom so far but the annoying wifi on/off issue which isn't even rom related.

Titanium Backups have never been an issue for me and I'm running this rom smoothly. I even switch backups between devices with no issues. However, problems can arise when restoring system apps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] selders59:

You can, but I've also had my share of issues as well. With the abity to find your installed apps quickly in Google Play, it's almost silly to risk it.

Use the default, but copy the back up to your micro sd. You can use your custom recovery to restore from either location.

There have been some rumors that I've been abducted by aliens and am in the process of being probed. I can ASSure you such is not the case. ;) Been working all day on one feature I wanted to crack for 1.8: 4x5 rosie. Just about got it done but it'll likely be tomorrow before I get the final kinks worked out. Not easy with Sense 4.0 and no M10 editor. But I got it done. Just testing it under all sorts of permutations now. Works great in portrait... currently testing to see if it's going to be compatible with the landscape rosie.

So, with all this talk about TB, and what is safe to restore, it made me think. I was a long time user of MyBackup Pro before I ever started using. Titanium Backup. It does not have all the bells and whistles that TB has, but it is very reliable at backing up apps with data, SMS, and other stuff shown below... Not as fast and automated, but I never had the troubles with MyBackup Pro that I have had with TB. Maybe I'll go back to it for a try...

Not much of a update...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kennethbring:
I am having issues with the phone running incredibly slow. There are times when it takes over 5 seconds to register my touch. Doing a restart helps it, but the problem eventually comes back. I have it OC'ed to 1.7 right now, but I've tried all the levels I can run (stable) and the problem persists. I've reinstalled the ROM 4 times doing a factory reset and wiping the cache/dalvik. When I do an update, I usually do a dirty flash, but I have done a clean install as well. I know this is not something to do, but I tried installing a task killer to see if that fixes it and it usually kills anywhere from 12-18 apps. Before I was running stock un-rooted, I wasnt having this issue at all. It was smooth as butter. I absolutely love this ROM so I would love any advice I can get.

Thanks,
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IWishItJustWorked:
Quick question, dont know if its related to the rom or android in general.

Sometimes after I wipe, re-flash and then re-add my google account my applications from my last install will auto download. Sometimes they don't, Its definitely convenient when it does. How do I make that happen every time?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dogie52:
Thanks!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goffmj:
I believe the success of the auto downloads are dependent on having the latest version of the Play Store installed when doing a fresh ROM install. If the Play Store has to update itself, it kills the auto app downloads. At least, that's what I've observed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] selders59:
I hope you are ready to get flamed for this statement. How dare you lay some crap like your statement on Mike. I do not think you realize what type of work goes into his work and the work of other development for these roms. And to come onto their thread and insult them with a statement like that. After all I don't see any thread with a Rom you developed. You need some lessons in respect and courtese. And you owe Mike an apology for that statement.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Glad I'm not the only one who missed it! It took me all day to find all the hooks that drive that mod in order to make it work right. Sense 4 is a bit different and a half dozen things needed to be modified to do it right this time. Easy when you know where to look, but not easy to find the first time, particularly when you're trying to get it to work enough for it to "pass" in landscape more for the people who run that. Anyway, I think it was worth it and AFAIK, it's currently a MeanROM exclusive to have 4x5 working in the Sense 4 launcher (at least until I put the guide up later) ;). For those who prefer the Sense look/feel, some won't have to go with other launchers to do this now.

I never restore the apps themselves. I get them from the play store. I use AppBak which saves a list of the apps you have. And when you wipe hit restore and it let's you pick out of the list straight to the play store. Very simple but cool.

I then restore the app data only on the ones I need. Like tapatalk, few games, etc. I never restore anything that is system related, HTC, etc. That just brings issues. Been doing it that way for years.

I have a few questions sorry if they sounds stupid. I just did the lazy panda S-OFF and everything went fine but I got the error 16 afer doing so. I am all set now after calling sprint, but I am wondering is there a way to fix it with out calling sprint. I did an MSL reset and that didn't work either. I have a few friends that have the same phone and want me to root theirs.

Also I am on MeanRom 1.1, I know I am behind. I can upgrade til I'm out of work, I cant hook up my phone to gov't computers. I am wondering ifthe later versions fixed the in call light problem. I look all over the forum and didn't see anything related to the light while in a call. As soon as it connects to the call the screen turns off,even before putting it to my ear. And when I pull it away from my ear it doesn't light back up I have to hit the power button. When I hit the power button the screen comes on but quickly shuts back off not even giving me time to hit the end call button.

I know I should probably update to see if it fixes the problem, but like I said I cant do that till I'm out of work on monday. Just wondering if there is a fix for my on version 1.1 til then... Thanks Nate.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
for the error 16, I think you just make a call out and wait until the operator answers and they will help reactivate you voice service. I had a similar issue where I had data but no voice. Just called someone and an operator came on and just did a reset. You can say you did profile update and lost voice.

For the black screen make sure you do not have a screen protector covering the proximity sensor. If you don't search the forum for issues for a fix.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] winkynatedog:
Ok so I found something on the call issue on page 309 and it talks about the screen protector covering the proximity sensor. My screen protector is not covering the sensor, plus this was happening before I put the screen protector on. I ran a HTC test on the proximity sensor using the *#*#3424#*#* and the test ran fine.

is there a way to DL MeanRom from my phone since I am not allowed to connect usb cord to gov't computers?

Just a question here... but I swapped out my Galaxy S3 for this thing. The only thing I'm really hating is the button layout. This rom seems to have a fix.

However, here's a few I can't seem to find. Can we re-map, as well as add a function to the soft-keys? For example:

1) Home button is still home, long press is also now recent apps (always)

2) Recent apps button is now menu, long press is now the search key (always)

I can see this allows us to re-map the surface funcion of the buttons, but could I add a long-press to each of the keys?

-edit-

Does re-mapping the recent apps key in this ROM get rid of the stupid overflow on-screen button? It wastes a lot of screen space.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Dang. It's like you're a prophet! I have an empty one sitting here right beside me! No joke! 1.9 just neatens up the 4x5 rosie so the bottom row doesn't get too close to the dock icons. For those who have add-ons and don't want to reflash the whole ROM, download 1.9 and pull whichever one of the flashable ZIP's you want from the MeanROM ICS folder in the ZIP file and flash that. Example: go to \sdcard\MeanROM ICS in the ZIP file and take out the rosie-4x5-port-360.zip file and flash it in recovery: that's the one that is the default in 1.9.

I just had to tidy those up so they look nice before sharing how I did it in a separate guide thread.
