The sweepless folks (myself included) takes less than a minute to implement then reboot. Flash the sticky mod and change the echo line to 0. Just be careful with spaces.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrshades812:
Can't u just flash the file that makes the MeanROM.opt file?

Just read the OP, it is simple. Or, just flash the stock kernel like I did.

I'm having a very similar wifi issue. The wifi state is often stuck with the "turning off" or "error" message. Reboot fixes and it immediately connects to my router. Wifi stays on and connected for a while and then randomly turns off. It seems like the issue doesn't happen when the phone is awake, i.e. if I stay on the phone and use it after a reboot.

I've tried multiple times to get it to bork while in use (i.e. screen on and surfing away) and it won't happen. However, most of the time, the wifi craps within 15 minutes of rebooting and leaving the phone idle. I've confirmed the issue while connected to Netgear, D-Link, and Linksys routers on three different networks.

Honestly, MeanRom is so badass that this doesn't really bug me that much. I figured I'd report back, though, since others are experiencing similar issues.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dman918:
I reflashed a couple times and this issue suddenly resolved itself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JustinChase:
I have what I think is the same problem. I work in a building with terrible reception, and I think that the phone's efforts to acquire a signal result in some issue that causes audible 'scratchiness' when listening to music, but I also sometimes hear it when not listening to music. It sounds like the same 'noise' that you get when listening with headphones on a desktop computer and you use the mouse scroll wheel. it causes a bit of 'noise' that you wouldn't normally hear if you had music playing, if that makes sense.

If I turn on airplane mode, it's MUCH better, but as of a couple days ago, I'm getting more of this while in airplane mode also.

I'm acutally backing up the phone right now before I do a full/complete wipe and reinstall 6.4 from scratch. I have all the current baseband/firmware installed, but I'm not sure if I have the latest recovery installed (not that it would matter for this issue).

For me, this started when MeanROM included the 1.7 OC by default. I started using Mean at about version 4.2 or so, and I think 4.7 or 4.8 started to OC by default, and I've had this problem since then. I've always dirty flashed, which is why I'm goign to do a full wipe and install this morning.

I'll report back if I still have this problem, becuase it's VERY annoying.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treetolber:
This is a problem a lot of us are having. If you are on the most current firmware with the most current radio, there is nothing that can be done except wait and see if HTC/Sprint can come up with a fix. At least that is the way I have come to understand the problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Los Altos:
I don't think Mickey ever gets 4g where he lives, so he would never be able to test something like that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JustinChase:
That's very sad and annoying :(

However, I've managed to put myself into a worse position in trying to fix it.

I put the TWRP zip onto the root of my drive to update the recovery, which worked fine. Then I factory wiped, cache, dalvik and system, then tried to install the MeanROM zip, but it failed. I downloaded it again, and tried again, and it also failed, so I rebooted the phone.

Now, when I tried to reboot, it's just stuck on the HTC screen, probably becuase I wiped system, and removed the OS. I can't find any way to get back into recovery now, since I forgot to remove/rename the TWRP zip, it just keeps asking if I want to update. So my phone is currenly non-functional.

The worst part is that it's mostly self-inflicted :(

I don't know why it wouldn't let me flash either copy of the MeanROM, but if I could get into recovery, I could at least flash something else to have a working phone until I can fix that problem.

Any advice for recovering from a stupid situation?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rootlinux:
Did you power+volume down?

I had the same problem.

Once in recovery TWRP failed to access system partition.

What I did was wipe using format option. It should format system correctly.

Now go into settings and check off the format option.

Then restore a backup with success.

After that try to go back into recovery and factory reset, wipe all but internal sd and external.

You should be able to flash anything now.

The problem I am seeing is the system partition failing sometimes.

Also if you can't get into recovery, put sd card in sd reader and remove the recovery zip.

Not sure if this would work but you might be able to pull sd card then boot into recovery.

Once in recovery insert sd card and then mount it via recovery.

Try flashing.

Have never tried it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JustinChase:
It finally dawned on me to remove the SD card so that I could at least get into recovery, which worked. I then installed the SD card, and was able to rename the zip file so that it wouldn't run upon reboot. I rebooted back into recovery, and my MeanROM file was completely gone/missing, so I had to download it again.

I was finally able to install the ROM, and it's currently starting up as I type this.

I wasn't able to see any 'format' option in the wipe screen, so I've not done any of that, i just wiped everything (except system) again, then installed the ROM.

I'll play with it for a while this afternoon, and if I have any issues, I'll try to wipe and start over once again, and I'll look harder for the format option, after I've had a chance to backup everything to my desktop at home, again.

thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, it sounds like the audible noise issue I've been annoyed with isn't going to be resolved by all of this, which is VERY frustrating. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
Thanks for response but everytime I save it n flash it, nothing happens n that file goes back to echo 4 :/ its not sticking, so I'm just living with it and I do hope mike does make a flashable zip already with the echo 0, making all sweeps off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
After flashing the file to create the MeanROM.opt file, you need to edit it. It's located in /data.

Remove the # before the line, change the number to 0, save the file and reboot. Should stick this way.

Don't flash the zip after editing and saving the file, otherwise you just overwrite your changes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
And make sure the permissions on the .opt file are correct after you save the edits. Whenever I edit it (using the text function in ES File Explorer), it always resets the permissions. The changes will not stick if the permissions are wrong.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
Mikey,

I know you aren't doing much with this in anticipation of JB, but is there any way you can take a look at the stock email client and why it won't allow html?

Due to work requiring security and encryption, having it disabled makes it necessary to use it but the lack of html email and being able to click links is annoying. Others have brought it up and I wouldn't be surprised if you could find a fix for it.

Tia if you're able.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
That's odd, check the permissions.

You can always re flash sticky file and reboot a few time. If everything holds, change echo line in opt file from phone. Reboot and recheck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I don't really want to dig into that old email client again. Have you thought about just using a real email app like K9 mail? It's tough for me to test/try esoteric features like html and exchange security when I don't even use the stock email app and I don't have access to an exchange server settings/security. To me, the stock email app is about useless and I've never used anything but K9.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
Ditto, K9 Mail is so much better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rkclark:
This is the stock mail client with exchange security enabled but html works. Timberwolf671 did his theme to the APK for me. It is a flashable zip.

I can't get k9 to work anymore. It worked before I did a clean install. I'm using the stock app. No big deal, it's just for my pop email. For my corporate email I use Touchdown, it cost but works great.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Try mailDroid its free and works great
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
If I use K9, is security enabled?

My problem with that is that it requires the SD card to be encrypted and makes flashing more difficult because it requires wiping the card any time I update the phone.

I understand and will stick with the current setup if I can't get over that with another client. The lack of html is far less of a problem than requiring the encrypted sd card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
That zip is for the stock mail client? Is it in the meanrom theme from timberwolf671? Because it didn't do anything for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rkclark:
No it is not in the theme. I have had to push the file at times or delete the one in system/app and install manually.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
No I mean is it on his theme thread? I don't know how to push and I don't want to clog the thread here with theme questions.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] samishalash:
I was on 4.6 for a long time and had many issues and held out until I finally clean flashed 6.4. All of my issues seem to have been resolved except that I am still having wifi problems. At least once a day the wifi gets stuck where it keeps trying to turn off be keeps saying "error" and only a phone reset fixes it. If I stay within the same wifi connection, ie. my home router, it works fine. The problem seems to occur throughout the day when it tries to connect to other save wifi access points when I get in range of them and it tries to switch between 3g and wifi. Am I doing something wrong?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JustinChase:
In thinking about this more, I don't recall seeing this issue mentioned anywhere in this thread before. I mentioned it several weeks ago, but no one responded to my posts. It also sounds like it's not the same issue as the poster to whom I replied. Where are others discussing this problem?

I finished the clean install, and listened to music all day yesterday, and this issue was not present all afternoon.

When I got home I restored some programs and data from Titanium, and this morning it's as annoying as ever. At least every minute or 2 there's a very unpleasant 'crackling' while listening to music. I've gone back and uninstalled all the programs I restored, and some additional ones, but it's still happening. I installed PowerAmp music player to try that, and it happens there too.

I'm going to clean wipe the phone and install the ROM from scratch again, but this is really getting VERY annoying. I cannot believe this is a known issue that many people are dealing with, so perhaps we're talking about different things, but either way, I cannot stand it any more. I listen to music at work most all day, and I'm really ready to start shooting people because of this very annoying issue.

Any ideas on how to track down and eliminate it once and for all?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
I would start by eliminating this step entirely: "When I got home I restored some programs and data from Titanium...." Mike has stated in the past that doing any type of restore like this can defeat the concept of the "clean install", and very often creates issues. I think you should suck it up and just forget the backups, at least until you see whether the issue comes up again anyway.

Also, didn't you say previously that you started noticing the issue when the 1.7 OC kernel became standard? If that's the case, you may have an overclocking resistant phone. You could try flashing the stock 1.5 kernel and see if that resolves it. I would start with the first suggestion above, however.

Just got back from the gym. Was listening to music for an hour. I swapped from Pandora to I heart radio and Google Music. I did have a huge battery drain issue with 6.4. But I did a re download of the ROM, super full wipe, clean install, restored apps and data from ti, restored messages from my backup pro. And, walla! All good to go. I crackling in music through headphones and no battery drain issues. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
The lag is a known issue from HTC. Mikey has done what he can, which is a lot, to fix it. Best fix you can do, until HTC fixes it, is to clean wipe and don't restore contacts. Let them sync to Google. Should be Ok for a few days. It's not meanrom, it's the stock HTC people app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ron_e:
I think I do

Kernel: 3.0.8-g0b923cc-dirty

Baseband (Radio): 1.12.11.0809

Build: 2.13.651.1

PRI: 2.45_003

PRL: 25009

I am s-on and did accept the 1.19 OTA update. I have not tried the new s-off method that should work for 1.15 and 1.19.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JustinChase:
I will wipe again this evening, and install everything from scratch again, and will just install programs one at a time, with about an hour of listening to music in between to see if it's a particular app that's causing issues.

With that said, I turned off wifi about an hour ago, and all the distortion/noise is gone. It seems airplane mode isn't enough, but I have no idea why that might me. To test, I turned wifi on about 15 minutes ago, and the noise has ruturned, so it does seem that wifi is likely the culprit in my situation. I did restore my wifi settings from Titanium this morning, so I will definitely not do that again, since they are easy enough to just re-enter from a fresh install.

Thanks for the advice. If I continue to have issues, I will go to the 1.5 kernel, but I'm saving that for a 'last resort' measure, since "speed is good". :D

For what it's worth, other than this issue, this is the best ROM I've ever run on any phone. Great work Mikey!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flewpastu:
i ran this ROM for bout a week or so and swapped over to stock goody cause i wasn't impressed with the battery life compared to stock so after bouncing around with different ROM's and stuff i really liked this the mean ROM other than the swipe to sleep feature but anyway I've been reading everywhere that Google now is a juice hog i reinstalled this ROM ( clean install ) and chose not to use Google now and so far battery is right on par with stock I'll give it a few days to settle but i gotta say this ROM is awesome thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mjhuffer:
Yes that is not the issue at hand. The problem is it won't stick. It will always go back to 2 lines regardless. As soon as I clear it out of recent apps, it will go back to 2 lines even though the settings still say 1line. Something is borked somewhere because I don't remember this problem when I was on stock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] williejr185:
I currently live in the Chicago area and lost 4G once I flashed to 6.4. My baseband version is 1.12.110809. It could be a coincidence because so far I've gone back to MeanROM 4.4 and 4.5 but still couldn't get a LTE connection. Maybe Sprint is still doing work around here and took LTE down for the moment. I'm gonna try a stock rom when I get chance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tm21fourt3:
