Your screenshots look like you're pickup up a Fort Worth tower, which makes sense since Dallas, Fort Wort (and San Antonio and Houston) all have LTE already. I'm in Austin (surrounded by cities with LTE), and am wondering which PRL you're running. I don't know if any towers here have been updated yet, but want to make sure that I'm running a PRL that would allow me to connect, once they are upgraded.

I'm currently running 25006, but have seen mention of another PRL (52006 maybe) that is needed to see LTE towers.

thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
The PRL that is needed for LTE... I have 25006 and I can see LTE towers in my area and see the boost in speed. Is there a better PRL for general coverage, and if so, how do you load it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kenpen:
And some one said prl has nothing to do with us been able to connect to LTE?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Active_Matrix:
Cool, thanks Mike!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crzycrkr:
I believe Mikey has said they won't be ported. No reason for the button remap as its built into the stock ROM now

No data connection

I did a dirty flashed of V4.8 this morning and just realize that my 3g data is not working..trying to turn the data connection on and off but still not able to turn on. I also did the image flash kernal thing thinking that might be my problem but still unable to get 3g data connection. Could this be something to do with sprint network? Any information or help would be much appreciated. I'm on s-on..meanrom v4.8.

thanks!!

edit: nvm..somehow my 3g data connection just came back so not really sure what really cause it to not able to connect at first.

edit: Ok i just found out that this morning Sprint is doing some work in my area and they broke something causing all the 3/4g data connection to go out so its not the rom just the stupid sprint network..lol

Is there a flashable zip to change the PRL to the 52006 PRL?

Changing the PRL is a lot more complicated than that, unfortunately. It requires your computer and some other software - I know somebody posted instructions in this thread somewhere... (but no, there's no flashable zip :( )

Just wanted to say I haven't chimed in on any of the discussions about the camera button because I feel like they've been adequately handled already between post 3 and this post showing how to disable the search half press. Between those two, you can have any combo including stock. I don't plan to do any more work on the camera button or provide any other options other than the four we already have: stock no wake/no search, no wake/search, wake/no search, and wake/search.

Mikey I gotta tell you I'm not really a fan of overclocking basically not only because you kill your phone faster but for the battery life and I'm impressed with the new 4.8 and the new kernel I flashed it yesterday after you posted it and today after unplugging my phone at 4:58 am with light to moderate use until now 3:28 pm I still have 85% of juice..

The only move up you could do is to 56xxx. It doesn't add coverage. It adds 3g roaming.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] obperryo:
Mike,

Now that you have the 1.7 stable by backing out all the other tweaks in the Kernel... maybe 1.9 and 2.1 might be more stable? How about trying it? Personally, I have been able to run all the OC's without problem. And, I got to tell ya.. 4.4.2 was the best.. smoken smooth and fast. There was something right in that version, as I have seen others make the statement and some are still sticking with it. It's my one backup I am holding on too.

I've noticed it seems some of these mean roms charge very slow but then the battery lasts a very long time. And some charge ridiculously fast but also drain fast. Is this old news to everyone else or does everyone else notice this too?

Been running MR for a while and have loved it more with each passing version. I've been on 4.4 for a while now with only slight hiccups, and after getting about 44 hours on a single charge and light use this weekend I was all but set to stay there. But today I ran into an issues that hopefully has been addressed and I just missed. My "people" app acts up from time to times and it takes forever to load or find a contact, but today on top of that my dialer just stopped working and keep hanging, even after a reboot. After about my 5th reboot I was able to make a call but had to dial the number completely even though the person was in my contacts. Had thought about wiping cache and rebooting but I was on the road an and d needed to make the call in a hurry. Any ideas on how to fix both issues?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
If I want to do a clean install what is the best way of doing it? I use Titanium backup but if I restore everything isn't that like doing a dirty flash? I would like to keep my HTC Sense menu intact as well. I have always done a dirty flash but I think it's time to start fresh and clean.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
Just don't restore system apps and you should be fine. By Sense menu do you mean home screens? I believe you can back that up using Titanium as well, but you still need to re-add the widgets.

I prefer GoSMS for sending/receiving emoji in texts.

To see emoji eveywhere else, I use the method described here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31357987&postcount=1

The only downside is you'll see emoji as black and white images, instead of in full color, like the iPhone.

Works the most efficiently for me, as I just flash that zip when I reinstall the rom. I use the multilanguage keyboard for entering emoji ouside of text messaging.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Curb71:
What's the best wiping method for flashing a clean mean rom? (and don't say front to back, lol) is there a superwipe or does everyone just manually wipe the first 4 things 3 times each?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
I manually wipe i start with system thendata then cache then dalvik (3 times) annoying ugh lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
There is a superwipe available but I'm on my phone or I would post a zip just look in original development or android development for this device :D

UPDATE: Here is what I found in the Venom thread. Haven't tried it yet but will today as I also need to reformat my internal in hopes of cleaning up some remnants of data from the last 5 months of flashing. Lol I haven't clean flashed MeanROM for about 5 revisions so it couldn't hurt anyway.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
+1 :D I'm still on 4.4.2 hoping Mikey will cook up a 1.9ghz kernal wink wink :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
You guys are boring me with all the reports of how great 4.8 runs on the 1.7 OC kernel... so I'm cooking a 1.8 OC. :)

I really don't think I'm going to go higher than 1.8 with my OC kernel. Going above 1.809 Ghz requires that you run the core voltage regulator at 1350mV which is what I think causes problems for some people. 1.8 Ghz is the last frequency where you can still run the voltage regulator at the stock 1300mV (1.3 volts). So I think we can run 1.8 reliably. Beyond that, I don't want to open that can of worms.

+1 you rock sir :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
Mike, can you make OC'g to 1.8Ghz an option rather than default for those of us that are very happy with the current speed and don't want to risk instability just for the sake of 47 useless points in Antutu? LOL

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smokeythebear3:
I think most people prefer to overclock, it's just that many have issues flashing the kernel on their own. So why not create an optional underclock option for those who want to go back. Btw Mike, awesome job and I love all that you've done with this Rom.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yeah, that's the plan. I got it all cooked up with stock, 1.728, and 1.809 flashes on the SD card with 1.728 still being the default. So you can flash 1.809 if you want. I know 1.728 works for 100% of phones (well, 100% of the ones we've seen so far anyway). 1.809 needs some guinea pigs before I can claim victory at 1.809. I'll be sliding 4.8.1 into the nightly folder soon...

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy24:
I was wondering if we can underclock? In reality, at stock this thing is a beast.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
And you base this on what?

I think most people want a phone that doesn't unpleasantly surprise them at random and inconvenient times.

I was not pleased to discover I am now overclocking by default when I didn't ask to. And merely updating the rom shouldn't qualify as asking for overclocking. Updating the rom is only asking for bug fixes, updated google wallet and ota and camera etc and any new options mostly in the form of options unless they are low risk, easily reversible, and sticky-able to survive future updates.

I have noticed no performance increase to justify taking chances with overclocking stability and other things like the reports of audio interference.

But I have to say I have also noticed no problems yet. It _appears_ after an insignificant single day of normal use, mostly idle, and no stress testing at all, to be a pretty benign overclock.

But a day or a week or even a month of casual testing does not prove much.

For one tiny example, the phone already gets screaming hot while in the car dock with GPS on in the sun. With overclocking, does it now get that crucial extra bit too hot? Who knows? It will be NINE MONTHS before it's full summer here again.

Well correction, I just encountered a glitch that I never had before. I received a phone call while writing this post in xda-premium app. After the call, the screen stayed black even after I pulled the phone away from my head. There is a dim red light shining in the top-left of the screen. Back, home, screen, multitask, nothing woke the screen up except pressing the power button. Now the screen is awake and I'm in the xda app, but the dim red light in the corner is still on. I've never even seen that thing before but I guess it's the face proximity detector? After about a minute it finally went off. So what's up with that? Is it from overclocking? I've never had that happen before so who knows?

All of the software on this thing is so rapidly developed by so many different unrelated people and so little tested that it all just barely works at all at the BEST of times. The LAST thing you need to do is introduce even more question marks, and then wonder why things are glitchy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Alpine-:
Loved the Freedom series of Kernel for the OG Evo. You could choose between 3 clocks (aggressive, etc.). It was geared toward undervolting and battery preservation and you never noticed any slowdown with the UI or Sense or anything. On that particular phone, it made a HUGE difference in battery life.

If actual real world performance was not noticeably reduced, I'd undervolt for better battery life. I could care less about 50 points in a benchmark.

Probably getting a EVO LTE in Dec. unless a new phone for Sprint is announced thats better. I feel like there may be a superior model out in Q1. If not, I'll be using this ROM with it.

Mikey: The LG Optimus G was just announced for Sprint. Good specs, has a beefy battery. May see some Nexus branded, HTC made, Sprint devices early Q1? Are you content with the LTE for a bit? Nobody thinks I should get the GSIII? ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
You absolutely can not claim that any overclock works yet. Physically the time and testing simply hasn't happened yet. You can't prove anything in this short a time, even WITH rigorous exhaustive scientific testing, which no one has done anyways.

It's like having a car with no gas roll down a hill and claiming victory that the car runs with no gas.

Please be timid with the defaults. Add the risky options as options, and consider every deviation from stock as risky.

As crappy as this phone was out of the box, I guarantee it still recieved ridiculously more testing than this handful of xda followers have amassed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I think I'm safe in my statement. Technically you can't claim 100% success with the Evo 4G LTE stock right out of the box. Some have hardware problems. There are bugs in the HTC code. Hell, for that matter, there's no guarantee the sun will come up tomorrow.

4.8.1 is on its way up. I'm sticking to 1.728 Ghz as the default with options to flash stock, 1.728, and 1.809. I think that about covers it. Plus this version even has a camera-no-search flashable ZIP for those of us who want to take a knife to the camera button. :)

Sorry guys I have to say something. I have been reading all the post and for the most part everyone is very helpful. We all root our phones and trying different ROMs out because we want our phones to be faster and cutting edge. We also go into it knowing that there will be glitches here and there. If you can’t give constructive criticism go back to the stock ROM. If you don’t like that he put overclocking in the ROM go to another ROM or go back to stock. It’s really that simple. Mikey has done an excellent job with this ROM. I too have had my fair share of issues but I know that is going to happen.
