I remember when my Epic 4g would sync with the Facebook installed sync and it would screw up all my contacts too. Then the pictures wouldn't be on the texts.

You would have to use the Facebook sync that was installed with the phone. Not sure if htc has that. I just remember having to tell Facebook not to sync my contacts. Then I would join them myself in the contacts after putting in the sync info.

Of course that could have changed. I have been Facebook free for about a year and a half. Woohoo!

If you have time and you know how, why don't you install MeanROM and then overwrite the services.jar with the one in flex's ROM. That might answer the question about whether or not it has anything to do with the multitasking or 16 app tweak.

Some thoughts

Hey guys, I just wanted to share a few thoughts I have about the rom in it's current state. I flashed v2.4 when it came out and loved everything about it. A few days ago I did a complete wipe and installed v4.8 to see what I might be missing after several months of running v2.4. Here are my findings:

1. I really enjoyed having media volume in the quick settings. It's very nice to be able to turn the volume down before opening a video/music/game that you know is going to be too loud for the situation you are in. I know this can still be achieved by going to sound profile, but I just felt that it was perfect having it on the quick settings tab.

2. I also enjoyed the previous iteration of google search better than the current google now / google search. I prefer to have google now off, but the new search always opens my results in the default browser rather than allowing me to choose my engine as the old version did. It also does not have the option to add predicted text to the search box without executing the search. Again, it's a small inconvenience, but being able to hotkey google search and have the results open in chrome was a feature I greatly enjoyed.

3. Overall the battery life seems to be slightly worse in v4.8 than it was in v2.4. I suspected that it was due to the new OC core, but after flashing the default 1.5ghz I seem to still be draining battery slightly faster than I was while running v2.4. This could just be my imagination though, and may just need a few more cycles to settle out. I'm having excellent battery life either way.

4. Is there a way to modify the camera button push settings? I believe my old version had flashables with several different setups, but I haven't been able to locate them in v4.8. Ideally I'd like full press to open the camera and long short press to open voice search, but I'd like to remove tapping the camera button to bring up google now / google search. I seem to accidentally tap the camera while handling the phone way too much to have that feature be worth having.

Overall, I'm still loving the rom and can't wait to see future updates. Thanks.

Explain how to do it here or PM and i'll try...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Power + Volume Down.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Press power slightly before home also works:D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobonit:
That combination never works for me. I use Power + Home, even in apps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Both combinations work for me. In most apps, it seems Power + Volume Down only works.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Fuzzy Wuzzy:
I've used that exact same one on my phone and unfortunately it stopped working after a week or so...the AC adapter port became really loose.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
So far I only ever use power+home and it's always worked in every app, also on non-app things like in the settings menu off the home screen.

If it's the rom it's not just the rom but some weird combination of things.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
i think this is the longest it been since i have flashed a new mean rom update in months!! :silly:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
I posted about a folder manager before that I was trying to find. I found an app called Smart Folders that has a screenshot of the feature I am asking about. The app doesn't do what I am asking for but the screenshot is one step closer.

In the screenshot is a folder called "Starred Contacts". That's what I'm trying to find.

Are tweaks (like in chaos Rom @ mikmik) going to be incorporated into mean Rom?

Chaos is an outdated Rom but the tweaks are sick. That and an pneuma style inverted theme are my wish list items for mean...whatever that's worth :)

Just throwing it out there..

Got flash? Mikey, give me something, anything. If I don't flash a phone soon, I might take to the streets in a trench coat. Just give me 4.8.1 again and call it 4.9. I'm jonesin' over here man.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
After reading a few posts, I decided to disable Google search, since Google Now became just a toy. I've actually noticed a bit peppier response.

I too would like the option again to rid the camera half press option, as it just gets in the way.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iconeo:
Folder Organizer can do this for you. Add a shortcut and choose the FO link option. Then choose contacts and it will add it. Open the link and hit the star and it will show just your favorites.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sqeet:
I skipped a few pages, not sure if I can be of help - maybe by providing logcat or something, but I use Facebook. I sync with existing contacts. Between my many accounts synced, I have a couple thousand contact entries. And I have never had an issue with messaging.

Feel free to reach out, if I can be of assistance at all.

****edit****

Never mind, I recreated using the method before. I haven't had a problem organically, yet, though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swurvv:
I really hope we can get that sweet honeycomb battery mod back on mean rom a .zip something please...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
You can.

There's a zip in the MeanRom folder that disables it.

To be more exact, its the third one on this screen shot of the MeanROM folder
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
FYI anyone that has manually changed their PRL if you use superwipe it will change it back to 25006 and you will have to do the PRL change agian :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
That only prevents the camera button from waking if the screen is off.

It does not prevent the half-press from popping up search in the middle of everything else whenever the screen is on.

Many pages ago deep in the unfathomable depths of this thread where no one can ever find it someone helpful posted a RemoveSearch.zip when I was asking about the same thing, that does disable the half-press search all the time.

I think Mikey eventually said he was going to include that zip in the next version.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Been there (no-camera-search.zip) for over a week in the 4.8.1 nightly. I even replied to you in this post telling you about it being in 4.8.1.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] icethegreat:
That makes sense. I'm still on 4.8 (waiting on 4.9!!!!):D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
I performed the above procedure yesterday even though it's not very different from what I've done several times already, the only difference being that I did the Wipe Data through Android's Manage Apps screen instead of through Titanium, and I didn't wipe People, only Contacts. One thing I noticed though, if you look at the People app through Manage Apps, it's there 3 times, two of them having clearable data (People v4.0.2217343269.423867.399238 and People v4.0.2215242955.350581.329040). It looks like the first one (bolded) is the one that showed up on Titanium's search list when I searched on Contacts.

I've still got another day or two to go before the slowness usually starts creeping back in. So if indeed the extra steps with wiping data from People does the trick or not, I will let y'all know.

EDITED TO ADD: Whoops! Looks like I didn't even have to wait that long. Shortly after posting this message, I had the hang while trying to open the Twitter thread in the stock messaging app. I had opened Facebook just before for what it's worth. So it looks like this process does NOT solve the problem.

Mike, did you get a chance to look at the logcats I posted earlier in this thread a few pages back:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnPublic:
Does that zip remove both the tap Google search and the hold voice search, or just the tap?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yes, I looked and I see the same thing as before: database has been locked for 30 seconds... waiting. It starts with a heap size overflow from "AudioCache" though. Not sure what that is. I read in another thread about people having this problem on the stock ROM (back as far as May) and saw one suggestion that linking your contacts through Facebook increases the size of the contacts database by a factor of 3x or more. The suggestion was to clear the contacts database, unlink it from Facebook, and then let it rebuild without the Facebook link while also disabling the contact syncing from within Facebook. I notice a Facebook update is now out too. Wonder if anyone has tried updating the Facebook app to see if that changes anything? I also wonder if moving Facebook back to /system would help. I moved it to /data a while back to allow it to be uninstalled. Sometimes apps don't like that.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Thanks. I held off of the last nightly, but will have to load it now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jovanbell:
Thanks, CheriePie. I too have seen the lag creep back up. It seems as if It works, for me at least, 2- 21/2 days and then the lag starts. It seems it is anything that has access our contact storage. I originally thought it was the multitasking tweaks of the Rom perhaps bumping it out of memory, so I locked the contacts, and phone apps in memory, but it still kept happening. I went to another ROM thinking maybe itll be different, after a few days there was no lag, them -BOOM- there it was again.

I wonder why this isnt really an issue for all of our phones. its seems only about 10% of folks on here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
I am convinced there are various lots with either different hardware revisions or even different hardware altogether. That became apparent with the sound design issues a few months back. I was one who battled it every day, with clean installs. Mikey switched to his own kernel, limiting options, any my sound problems went away.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
4.9 is in the oven. I'm reducing max hidden/recent apps to 12 (was 16, stock is 8), setting the "stale kill" timer to 2 hours (was 4 hours... stock is 30 minutes), and I also backed out a couple of processes from the "do not kill" list, one big one being Google Maps. I have one hunch that we might not want to try to keep too much in memory, particularly memory hogs like Google Maps. Preventing those from being killed might be preventing the phone from reclaiming needed memory. So we'll give 4.9 a try and see if it affects the messaging lag. My guess is that the messaging lag is not a memory problem and it won't fix that... but it might free up memory and stop a few of the rare FC's we see. I also moved Facebook back to /system (was in /data). So maybe one of these things will have a positive affect on the messaging lag.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
Very Nice, ive been on 4.8 this whole time, i dont have any problems with it, thats why i didnt bother downloading 4.8.1,

but i am waiting for meanrom 4.9 to see what new features i can try out and see even faster performances on my phone after every update, Nice Job Mike!

Cant wait for official Jellybean to come out for Evo LTE, i like Google now(like the google now cards traffic, weather, sports....) but it just drains my battery so fast, i rather just have it off, although i still use Google now searches

is there any special apps for making your own vibrate notification kinda like s3 have? i work a lot so i cant often look at my phone but with a custom vibration notification i would be able to tell the difference on my pocket. The reason i ask is because I've read you done your own work with the ringtones/contacts, your tweaks that help the phone, i don't want a random app to ruin that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jaydubb71:
Handcent can change the notifications for the SMS/MMS ONLY... HTH's...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
thank you for response, but i like the stock sms/mms i was looking for something more custom integrated stuff, i remember my HTC Touch Pro2 had different vibrations could be assign to different contacts or notifications
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
No that's an odd one. Never seen an OS flash change your NV. If it wiped the PRL you just wouldn't have one, you wouldn't have a phone number either.

I think something is triggering an activation and a profile update.

Would be cool if quicksetting was the default when you pull down the notification bar when you have no active notifications. I have seen this on other roms in the past for the og evo.

Are you getting a fresh $10 every time you set Wallet? Or is it the same $10?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
Although I know this isn't rom related because it has happened before on different roms I am running this rom and need some help. I have lost the ability to download anything through the browser or anything that doesn't use play store. I did a fresh flash with a full wipe to 1.0 and the issue is still there. The way I fixed this last time was by flashing viperboy's stock Rom and then flashing mean rom again. I would like to find out why this is happening and not have to lose my setup every time this happens.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
I only use 4 home screens and delete the others. The infinite scrolling rosie is still a little glitchy when screens are deleted. I know i can flash the stock rosie but i like the infinite scrolling Can this be improved at all?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
this is still happening with 1.0. trying any of the remapping zips doesnt change anything
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcvoss:
I set up wallet in .08 and just did a dirty flash, didn't clear wallet, and it still works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
It shouldn't be glitchy like before: still works perfectly but just gives a little pause/pop at the endpoints rather than scrolling smoothly. Is that what you are seeing? To get rid of that requires more code editing that I just don't have time to do right now, but it can also be looked at as a feature. That is, it still scrolls with the same amount of finger fling: the pause/pop can be seen as an indicator to the user that they just flung past an endpoint. Depending on how your screens look, it might not always be obvious when you've just wrapped around and the pause/pop actually shows you that. At least, it's a good way to rationalize it when I've put as much as I can into that one fix. :)

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Yea the "pop" is what im seeing. Not a big deal at all, appreciate the insight.

Performance & Battery Editing

Hey Guys,

Technically challanged here, I tried editing the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file and I just cannot get it to save after I try editing the file.

ext4 sdcard support

@mikeyxda:

How about ext4 sdcard support? As is I can't mount my 64GB sdhc card automatically and while I can do it by hand, music and gallery ignore it's existence (while ES File Manager works on it). I've tried adding stuff to fstab.vold but this didn't work. Infuriating.

Please help pave the way for fat32's death. At 64GB it's cost is just to high for music where ext4 vastly outperforms. I can't figure out why android would break on something that works fine in standard linux when looking at something low level like this.

@Everyone else:
