+1 to that. I am not understanding anyone saying beats on sound like crap. Maybe you should check your system or headphones. With beats combined with volume + paid, my 11,000 songs at 128kbps mp3's have better quality with the processing going on over going back to several yrs ago..... Same music, same headphones, different phones but now with much better audio. Also learn how to set your head unit. Took several months of testing here, and a little more testing after that when beats and volume + came into the mix. I'll just walk away with not everyone can fine tune sound. Y anyone throws away as much money as they spent on a phone on headphones has got me, but I bet the sound coming from my phone to my $10 Phillips headphones will spank anything coming out of cheats. Oops, beats, lol.

On another note, been on 4.7 OC to 1.7, since yesterday. No one problem, no audio, multitasking, browser, graphical glitch here. As usual, Mikey u the man!

PS. Sitting here dissing the headset as I bump dre n em, and they literally feel like they are in my brain!

You might look at an app called Screen Brightness... you can set custom levels.

Mikey, for 4.8 can the post boot be used to OC higher than 1.7? Like going back to having a couple options even stock speed to be able to choose from. And the phones that can't o/c can have the pluses of the evilz kernel minus the o/c.

I know, I know, what for? Well to push it, and find the absolute edge.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
The problem is you don't read. The beats issue had to with some models of the phone and the evilz kernel. Mikey made a new kernel to test, and the problem is gone.

As for headphones, I have an in ear Sony premium model (about $200) and I haven't heard anything close. I hate when people make comments like you did about purly subjective topics.

My bad, I just meant as software gets better, and it does every yr, u could almost get away with getting cheaper and cheaper headphones. Should have just said that. I read and know of the problem, I was pointing out that my phone does happen to be problem free. Mikey is correct in that no one had to go to the extent of deleting beats off the phone. Also not everyone has a musical ear, that jab is at the people saying the beats software does nothing or does anything negative.

Yeah WiFi works while in airplane mode. The reason is so you can still surf the web without

disrupting any signal while on a plane since you aren't supposed to have your cell phone on while in the air.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Yep this is true. But if you get good speed for data when you have full bars, its because the transmitting antennas for data happen to be on the same tower for voice antennas.

Before Sprint started working on NV in my town, there were spots in town where I got 4 or 5 bars and got no signal for data (phone switched from 3G to 1x, or just nothing)

Did you flash new mean kernel?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] geekgie:
This ROM is smooth, quick and a joy to use, and that's coming from my wife! :)

One thing though, just updated to 4.7 from Codename Android, did a Superwipe then fresh install with TWRP and now the gallery is blank. No .nomedia files, can see the pics through file explorer, unmounted and remounted the SD card, wiped cache, wiped data in the app..basically everything I can think of.

I doubt it's an issue with the ROM but ya'll are pretty knowledgeable so I figured I'd get your thoughts.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
And to each his own. Having worked for/in a studio, and being a musician I think I have a pretty good ear for sound. I can hear the distortion on the bottom end, and the really fast drop-off on the high-end. For half the money you can get a middle of the road studio grade Sony headset (MDR-7000 series), and they sound much better than any Beats headphone.

Alpine/Infinity Gold System, Pioneer Stage 4 TS-C132PRS in the front doors/dash, JL Audio C3-650's in the rear doors, and a 10" Bazooka tube in the back (it's a Grand Cherokee). I don't think it's an issue of power, more like a crappy signal from the source. Turn on Beats it's sounds like crap (muddy, lots of wow, clipping, and flutter), turn it off and it's nice and clean with lows that'll rattle your teeth, and highs that'll make you ears bleed even at low volume due to being clean. I don't want over processed sound nor do I want bass that drowns out the rest of the sound spectrum. Hope you're not one of those people who think using Monster Cables (which btw also makes the Beats headphones) will make their stereo sound even more awesome through some molecular high magic. If so I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.

Because if I am not using it I remove it along other stuff I don't use, or have a need for (and if removed doesn't jack up the phone). I pretty much strip the ROM down to bare minimum (including Sense) then put stuff that I like/use on. Mikey your ROM is a great base for doing that sort of modding. All I do now is run my script against the full ROM, then flash. BTW I come from the days of Heathkit, and Hot-Rods (.30gal days). Building, and modding stuff is an addiction (wife/time permitting). ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Yup. It's a dream now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] trancefreak64:
I flashed 4.7.1 last night with meanevil kernel and let the phone overcharge overnight. I set the no frillz Gov. to smartass V2 @1.52ghz and rebooted. Woke up this morning grabbed the LTE headed downstairs. Noticed the battery was still at 100 %. i use to get this issue on CM7 with savagedzen kernel on the original EVO.

Anyways I rebooted the phone and then it showed a battery reading of 96 and off charger for a minute and a half. My phone usually drops to about 50% at work with data and blue tooth on. I have a few apps that sync at longer durations to avoid battery drain. Well right now my phone reads a battery % of 78 and off of charger 10 hours 15 minutes. In all actuality it has been off of the charger for over 12 hours.

So if this nightly is actually improved my battery life to 78 after very light usage over a 12 hour period i will be one happy man.

Albeit though I will see if I can wipe the battery stats if I can in twrp and monitor it for a few days. If my battery life is going to be this great I am nan droiding this config and i will go back to it if 4.8 changes it. It is amazing ATM and I hope it stays this way. I also noticed my phone feels cooler at touch on the back side and I ran a quadrant test that went up to 6500 while clocked at 1.52ghz.

Great job Mikey and keep up the amazing work. Such a fabulous ROM you have here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Can't wipe the battery stats at all. As far as I know, its not at all possible on ICS. Now, somebody else said that if you have the phone on the charger and its at 100%, it'll stop charging for a bit, let it drain, then charge some more. It'll show 100% all the time once it gets to 100% while on the charger. If you disconnect the charger and reboot, it'll recalculate what the % charge is. I've seen my phone stay at 100% for 5 hours when its just sitting there doing nothing.

Unfortunately Mikey last night I had 5 or 6 random reboots in about 2 hrs. I haven't seen it this morning. It was only happening when screen was off. I have set cpu to minimum when screen is off, but on 4.7 the minimum was lower and I never had reboots. i ended up bumping the screen off max to 486 mhz and i think it stopped it. im gonna try dropping it back to 384 mhz max and min to see if it will happen again. In fact this is the first time I've ever had any issues on ur rom. Either way I love your work man keep it up.

I know you weren't using the latest kernel but I just wanted to mention that if you really want this ROM to run its best, you shouldn't even install things like SetCPU. You definitely shouldn't be diddling with it that much that you are setting CPU's to minimum speed with screen off, etc. I've already got screen on/off properties built into the ROM so you're really just asking for trouble if you start playing with CPU tweakers.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
Will OC be the norm for future versions of the ROM?

The reason I ask is that I see no point in overclocking a phone. If the phone is too slow at stock speed, then you need a new phone IMHO. Sacrificing battery life and stability for a few points in a synthetic benchmark that has very little relevance to real world usage and performance, just doesn't seem worthwhile to me. I want the phone to WORK, I don't care about artificial scores to try and impress my nerd friends. LOL

All banter aside, I have always had a better running phone with stock speed. I need it to work 100%, and I have always had a better experience when the ROM has been optimized to be more efficient than when trying to compensate for efficiency by adding clock speed and losing stability...

Thoughts?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
I'm getting 30+ hours with 3.5+ hours of screen on OC'ed at 1.9 so there is no downside that I can see :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
Maybe, but OC on a phone, or a PC for that matter is so hit or miss that making it the default might not be the best idea, you know? I had one i5 2500k that ran stable at 4.5Ghz all day long with a $20 heatsink and default voltage, and another one that needed more voltage just to be stable at 4Ghz... 3.4Ghz is stock I think.

Phone processors are the same way. One case might hold in more heat than another, making it less stable than another. Too many variables, and not enough benefit, to make it "the norm" IMHO.

My phone won't make calls faster at 1.7Ghz than it will at 1.5Ghz... Running the clock speed up might be ok, but it might not, and when the only real benefit is running benchmarks, I just don't get it. I would rather have a highly optimized ROM and kernel that is very fast because it is efficient, than one that has to try and clock the **** out of my CPU to make it run faster.

Just my opinion... been overclocking things since a Cyrix 6x86 PR166 CPU system I built back in the day, so I sorta just dated myself there. Probably people reading this that weren't born yet when that CPU was being sold... haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Well, technically it will make calls faster... by a few milliseconds probably. :) 1.7 versus 1.5 is only 15% faster but it is noticeable when browsing web pages with flash, pinch/zooming, playing some games, scrolling, etc. 15% is just enough to notice that it's a little snappier without burning much more battery or making the phone run hot. Technically you can run the OC kernel at any speed you like. By your logic, if all you do it make calls and check text messages, why not just edit the user part of the boot script and use only the processor speed you need? Maybe for what you do, you only need 810 Mhz so set that as your max when the screen is on. Why even run it at 1.5? But my point is, there's no need to change kernels if you want LESS speed!

If you are still on that baseband than your hboot should still be 1.12. You may want to go s-off with lazy panda first and then update your firmware and radio. All this time you been complaining about data drops and you were 2 radio versions behind. Get that puppy updated, all of your problems were addressed in the new radio. Also, the problems you have described can also be caused by a weak data signal not being able to log on. Remember, more bars don't always equate to strong data reception.

Mikey any way to include the auto brightness patch like in the HTC one s? They lowered the auto brightness around 10 to 20 percent to save battery. That would benefit us a lot I think. The stock auto brightness is to bright imo.

I knew I wasn't going crazy. You just asking the same request again... I believe someone mentioned mikey has edited the auto brightness (more than once if i'm not mistaken).

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chong67:
You need to update your radio. Otherwise if you have a LTE tower in front of you, you might not hang onto that signal!

The signal bar that is on your phone is not for the data strength! Its for voice only. If you are in a triage, you will not know which tower you are on for data. You did to do the ## thing to see your dbm for your data strength.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I've already updated the auto brightness so that it can dim lower when in a dark room and so that it updates properly (rather than getting "stuck" on certain brightness levels). I don't want to go any lower other than the change I made to the darkest value. The values in the middle (for rooms with real light) seem about right to me. If anything, they're a hint too dark!
