FYI...

Sprint is looking to launch HD voice calling soon as it has indicated it would launch the feature on the HTC EVO 4G LTE. Things are expected to be operational by the end of this year according to PhoneScoop.

Unfortunately the feature will probably get little use because both parties must have a phone capable of handling HD Voice --- that means EVO 4G LTE owners would have to speak to other EVO 4G LTE owners until more devices get the feature.

Sprint won't be making a huge push for HD Voice this year because they're still preparing network improvements and devices that can handle it.

Things should be in full swing by 2013, though, and Sprint's expecting it to be a big part of their network enhancements in 2014. We're excited but we still have a long way to go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leerage:
Is there a super wipe available for the EVO LTE? When required on ROM changes I had been just doing factory reset in TWRP but didn't know if I should be using a super wipe that would work on the EVO LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
You can use this one..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Did a search but I couldn't see if this was mentioned. Does anybody else notice that the bottom right dock icon is shifted to the left on a stock 2.7 install? I just flashed yesterday, it was the first thing I noticed. Is this part of the Rosie spacing mod? Or just a fluke for me? This is from a clean install, full wipe after Fresh 5.1.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Glad it worked out.

camera questions

When pressing the hardware camera button it launches a slightly different camera app than if pressing the camera app. Is there a way to make it launch the same app?

Sorry, I looked through the forum but there is so much content I may have missed the answer.

Thanks.

Good info for setting up Google Now!

Thanks a lot! I learned so much about voice search from this! But I noticed that sometimes the voice search just hangs after asking a question and I have to hit refresh to get the ap to respond. Is anyone else having this issue? I have updated the patch Mike put up but it still seems buggy?

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

I think you need to set up Google Now to search your calendar. Go to Settings ->Phone Search -> and select Calendar.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
I was just browsing thru the general and q&a sections, reading how our phones suck and the development sucks. To bad they have not discovered our ROM, as I personally feel we have been given a gift. I could not be happier with the level and quality of programming; not to mention how Mike is so responsive to anyone and everyone.

Thanks Mike and to every member who makes this a group I'm proud to be a part of!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
I think I'm going back to 2.6, looks like that's before GN was added. I knew something was different as my battery usage is usually about 65% to 70% after getting off work. I looked down half way through work and I was at 70% already. I didn't even use GN nor do I even know how to pull it up as I don't see it in the apps, maybe it was still running and pulling data. Don't know.

I also +1 some of the previous posts saying an option to disable it. I'll have to look into the zip and see about removing it like I do on many of the other bloatware apps and apps that are available on Google Market in the zip file.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nohart:
Google Now is in the aps drawer. Its a blue icon that just says "Google". As far as battery use goes as Mike said it's a trade off of sorts. You can also bring it up with a quick or long half press of the camera button. You cant expect Google Now to work as advertised and not use any battery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Before you revert, run Google maps. Select the top drop down bar and select Location History. Disable the services. It's probably not needed, but remove any starred locations. That pretty much disables most of the now features. Once off, the phone sleeps without interruption. If you still have battery issues, get Better Battery Stats from the play store and see what's really using your battery or preventing it from sleeping.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
I think I'm going to do the same. I don't use, nor want Google Now. I asked Mike if he could put it in the options folder as an add-on. But certain other membes of the thread kicked me in the teeth for suggesting such heresy.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

That is why I asked that it be put in the MeanROM ICS folder. That way, members that wanted to use it could. While those of us that don't could get the rest of the ROM updates, and keep the Google search/Voice search we've used for years.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baldben:
You should be able to go to Settings > Apps > Google and Disable it and Clear Defaults. Then use voice search with half press.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Who are you replying to?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baldben:
Anyone who doesn't want to use Google Now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsisson:
I agree with digiblur and others. Since 2.7 I couldn't make it through the day. Turned location services off, as some others suggested, and only made a small improvement. Battery usage was showing 18% for Chrome which I barely use. Chrome usually shows 1 or 2% usage. Went back to 2.6 and all has returned as before - after half a day battery is down to 80% and Chrome usage is 1%. Can't explain since I only even used Google Now one time and then turned off but definitely had a big impact on battery usage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baldben:
My battery life is great and I'm a heavy user. Screen on more often than not, but it doesn't have a problem going into deep sleep according to Better Battery Stats. Running this rom 2.7, updated Google Now, and the Enoch kernel overclocked to ~1.7.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eepyikes:
Lost 40% battery overnight (ie 7 hours). Jesum, what is it doing, SETI calculations?

Also makes me wonder if this ROM is safe for the phone if it's working it like that.

All you have to do to turn off Google Now is open it go to Settings->Google Now and at the top right turn it off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
I guess I am just old school..no voice search...just use the browser and google what I need. I don't need all that stuff.

Not hating on anything...love the mean rom. Molded the zip file for 2.7 and backed out the google now settings and apps. Works great. Curious to see the battery life now.

I will have to update the batch script that I use to mod and cleanup the mean Rom zips for my usage.

I don't get any pop ups for google now, can search but no notifications.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Downgrading back to 2.6 is the only way. Mikey has it baked in to the rom
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nohart:
You will only get notifications once you set up a card(s). Then you only get a notification pop up in your notification bar if something has changed as for example Weather. Once you see the weather and dismiss it (slide it to the side in Google Now) it wont give you a notification again unless the weather changes.

Go here to read more about Google Now:

http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-setup-configure-and-use-google-now-98749/

http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/288505/70-things-try-googles-android-41-voice-search

For all the people that don't want it just turn it off. Go to Google Now -> Settings -> Google Now and in the top right corner turn it off. This ap is obviously going to use your battery some. It cant function to give you notifications unless its working. So obviously its going to use some battery as Mike has pointed out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Why is Google Now, a buggy, alpha app even in this ROM?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] winkynatedog:
I was having some batter draining issues but after a few days of draining and charging the ROM seems to have settled a bit. It still drains faster then the other roms but there is still nothing better then mean rom out there, so thanks you mike.

On a different note I was trying out the nfc the other day with my brother who has a S3, and he was trying to transfer a picture looked like everything was working fine, we put the phones together it told us top seperate them, then was said new tag collected but nothing was there. I clikced on the thing that was there and it didn't do anything. Just wondering if there is a place that the EVO stores the files, or if picture tranfers are even possible.

And lastly, so far I'm liking google now and it seems like it works to open up apps, but when I try it always go to the web. when inside google now I click menu/settings/phone search, and there it says names of apps instialled. So I assumed it could open up my apps, am I assuming wrong? Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
I agree that Google Now doesn't work 100%, but setting alarms from voice, and scores and such are cool. It's been more reactive than proactive. My guess (not a programmer by any means) is there is something in Jellybean to make it really work properly.

I think it's a neat novelty, but just like siri, it grows tiresome quickly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baldben:
Google Now is by no means mandatory. It is baked in but it isn't configured as a default. If you don't like it, keep it turned off and use voice search. It's not rocket science.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Baked in, but easily disabled. You can turn it off or if you are missing that option, follow my settings on the previous Page to disable. For anyone who thinks it's unsafe, follow my directions as well.

Just relax, as it's safe, but you have several options to turn it off. Regardless, you should clear your saved map locations in Google Maps.

It's all good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsisson:
FWIW in my case I disabled Google Now and battery life still appeared much worse. Maybe the meter wasn't accurate or "settled in" yet but I was at 15% when I would normally be at 50 to 60%. I know that don't make sense but that was my experience.As of now all you lose going back to 2.6, other than Google Now is the multi-color battery meter - not a big deal to get exceptional battery life back.

I keep seeing all these post about battery issues...I've done a dirty flash and a clean flash and only calibrated my battery when I went from 2.4 to 2.5...this a routine I do about every 30 days and my phone comes off the charger promptly at 7am and on it texting taking pics talking and doing what my phone was intended to do and I have no issues with battery drainage...I usually have my brightness turned down but I now have it on auto and my battery has been fine plus I use google now just for the hell of it. Still no battery issues
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baldben:
Looks at some of the most recent posts in that thread and someone posted a flash able zip to use thru recovery with Mikey's latest apk.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Fixed and much more stable Google Now coming in 2.8. The app works nicely now, but I do think the notifications are a little spotty. Sports cards don't update reliably for example. But I think that's part of the infancy of the GN network and/or framework on the phone. For now, the searches are nice, but don't rely on the notifications. And if GN affects battery life for you, at worst, just turn off the "Now" part of GN. You get to keep the nice card-style searches, link to your alarm clock, and more but with the "Now" part turned off, it will not eat any battery, just like the old search.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
What exactly are you doing to disable only the "Now" portion? I just want to make sure we are all on the same page.

Regarding the kernel, will it be backed in, or a separate flash? If flash, will it be pre configured to your specs?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] winkynatedog:
Thanks baldben, Got the link and the file. As I was reading people were saying you just need to replace the velvet.apk, but this looks like a zip file. So do I need to use root explorer or do I just go to recovery and flash. And do I need to wipe cache or anything? Sorry to be annoying, I may just wait for 2.8.

Mikey I understand the quadrant scores are high and that's great but my phone averages 6000 to 6200 running quadrant. Is it the new kernel that's so good or what you have done with your rom? Because I haven't done anything special to my phone other than your rom.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baldben:
Just flash the zip. Wiping cache and davlik can't hurt.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .torrented:
Mikey, is there any way we can convince you to make this available via SVN because your ROM updates keep growing in size, and it would help me, others as well, keep up to date with the ROM when you release more than 1 in a short amount of time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Does the remap to right zip in meanrom folder have any differences from how the rom already comes? I know remap menu to recent is the way this rom comes now, and was changed that way without having to flash a separate zip several version ago. I know Mikey will still put it in the meanrom folder in case people who changed it to something else can go back. Yes I know another question about remapping, but just wanted to be clear if anything at all is different.

Really I'm asking this cause long pressing menu does the same as a half press of the camera button(brings up google now/search). so I guess I should think of what I want to change the long press of menu to do.

Edit: dude above me....... Drop it! Don't ask, don't flip out, don't even respond to this comment. Mikey is getting pissed by that question, and it was asked a lot. Xda members in general should know to read at least the OP and most recent couple days of a thread to see what has been going on if they don't keep up with that particular thread on the regular.

Super excited for dinner tonight! Can't thank you enough for all your hard work mikey and all the help from the meanie family throughout this thread. It would be nice to see less complaining and more patience from people with reguards to GN. Let's not forget this is development. Look at the progress that has been made in such a short time and anybody that knows mikey's work knows damn well he will continue relentlessly to perfect it. And if we could cut back on the repeat questions that have been answered multiple times by reading the OP or doing a search (button mapping, goo manger, SVN, etc....). There are lots of knowledgeable people here who are happy and willing to help but I'm sure are frustrated by seeing the same questions that have been answered over and over. Always eager to see what mikeys cooking next...........and for the record Google Now ROCKS and I've barely noticed the difference in battery. I'll always be a happy, dirty flashing meanie for life! :D

Don't we all have access to WiFi now days at least some time during our day/week? I cant believe what an issue it is over downloading a file that is only 612.76 MB.

And this battery issue is becoming annoying. I mean the phone has to use something and if it bothers you so much just turn it off.

Sorry just my 2 cents but enough of all the nit picking and wanting a button for every little thing. The last 10-20 pages or so are just filled with this stuff.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] glgehman:
I may be misunderstanding, but if you're updating MeanROM to MeanROM versions, then you shouldn't be wiping anything that would require you to rebuild your home screen.

Since each update already performs a "dirty wipe" (dalvik and cache), you don't need to wipe anything else (typically). When I flash (for instance) v0.5 over v0.4, my phone reboots to exactly the same home screen configuration, email setup, etc., that I had before.

(It is always a good idea to do both Titanium backups and Nandroid backups for security, but version-to-version updates don't require a wipe.)

glg
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] budeone:
yes there is if you are using titanium back up.

flash rom

I was having this issue on Fresh 5.1.1 as well before switching over to MeanROM. I would really like for this to work as well. I don't *think* it's ROM specific. And of course I didn't try it on stock before flashing. I may try that and see if it works.
