yeah i can see how that could be an issue. I only have to use pattern unlock if it can't recognize my face so I just moved over to the light and I'm in. For those of you unable to get in at all because Pattern Lock is your primary, I suspect your best bet is downloading 5.2 on your computer and copying it over to your phone's SD card manually.

5.2 isn't up yet for me though. I'm still debating whether to wait and see if I'm going to have to full wipe again, or finish setting up my apps again while I'm waiting. I was only halfway through all the config of the ones I use regularly after my full wipe yesterday. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
5.2 is on the way up as 5.1 broke Pattern Lock security.

5.2 on its way up. I think he pulled 5.1 off the server.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
thanks for response, i thought those post were just ppl having problems, i havent used a lock pattern security for a while, not since i unlocked n loaded meanrom on my phone due to having to set up the facial recognition every single time, and now we can dirty flash every update now, its a very nice feature!

I keep getting Failed in TWRP when I try and flash your roms on 2.3.1.0 and my bootloader doesnt see the PJ75IMG.zip file on my sdcard so I can't downgrage to 2.2.2.0
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Mike,

To save some time (as I really don't want to start fresh if I don't have to), should I upgrade back to 5 before going to 5.2, or is the jump from 4.9 to 5.2 safe?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
FYI, you can use Titanium to restore data only for the Face Unlock app and you'll get back your previous facial recognition database, which is a file called lockscreen.gal stored in the /data/data/com.android.facelock directory. I have done this many times and have never had a single issue with it. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
Well you should be able to manually copy that file back over too if you grab it before you wipe your phone. It's at /data/data/com.android.facelock/lockscreen.gal. Just in case you ever decide you want to use Face Unlock again, it's useful info to know. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
The truth....... there IS no spoon!

While we wait for 5.2 to upload, here's how you can fix things and get yourself going if you loaded 5.1 and you have a pattern lock:

Windows instructions (when typing commands, case matters!):

(1) Download the attached HTCExtension.jar

(2) Reboot to recovery: use power and down vol. if needed.

(3) In recovery, press "Mount" and then touch "System" at the top.

(4) Plug the phone into your computer.

(5) Click "Start" and type "cmd" in the search box and press enter.

(6) At the command prompt, go to the folder where you saved the above HTCExtension.jar.

(7) Type this, then press enter: adb push HTCExtension.jar /system/framework/HTCExtension.jar

(8) Type this, then press enter: adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/HTCExtension.jar

(9) Reboot phone via the recovery reboot menu

(10) Flash 5.2 when available.

Or, if you are unfamiliar with these steps, just wait for 5.2 and flash that, but if you can't boot your phone due to the pattern lock, you'll need to take out the SD card and put the 5.2 flashable ZIP on it as mentioned previously.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Mike, is there anyway to add the OTA updater to the no kill list? Or something to that effect. It would be nice to download the ROM in the background while I use the phone for other stuff.

Sent from my EvoLTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I would... if it was broken. ;)

No. That wouldn't help. The problem is that the phone goes into crawl-download mode whenever the screen goes off. That's in the framework. It does that in Google Play, OTA Updater, anything that downloads. What I do is drag down the notifications, click Quick Settings, and then hit the "Screen On". That'll allow the screen to stay on and uploads to go fast. When the upload is done, just turn it off the same way. I'm guessing they do that to prevent gargantuan downloads happening while the screen is off and you don't even realize the phone is doing anything. Could rack up bills on some systems if you are not aware that you accidentally selected a 94 terrabyte github clone or something. Just wait until they make 100 terrabyte flash cards! :D

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Just a FYI, the OTA wants to download 5.1 again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
you can download using OTA, but apply update from recovery, its under OTA Updator/dowload folder ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
I had a different issue with 5.1

Not only did the pattern lock go nuts but it wouldn't recognize wifi vs 5.0
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CannibalAngel:
So, I have been away from the ROM for a while (i am still running 3.1) and just wanted to know if I need to do anything different to flash the latest version (Install new radios, kernel, etc.). I read the first 3 posts and didn't see any info to that effect.

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Interesting. Here's what I've experienced when I used the OTA updater while using WiFi. I can turn the screen off and the update will download just fine, although, I don't know how ling the actual download took. If I start a download and then switch to another app, a game or such, the download eventually stops.

So, the screen is on in this case, but I've switched to another app. Download fails.

Start download and turn off screen, download completes (but I don't know how fast or slow it goes.)

Edit: Ok, I just checked the screen on setting and mine was turned on. If that is turned on but I manually hit the power button to turn off the screen, does the downloading framework still see the screen as "on".

I'd say if you are that far behind it would probably be safest to clean flash at this point. Dirty flashing to catch this far up is risky buy worst case, stuff just doesn't work and you have to do a clean flash anyway.... Not like your cat will explode or anything. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
It is where you set ntsc or pal for your hdmi out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CannibalAngel:
Yeah, I always do a clean install with every ROM.

What I meant was are there any other updates I have to do before I install the latest release like updating the radio.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] engelsione:
Thanks your the answer but I am still in the dark here. What is NTSC or PAL ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
You will need to update your firmware. You will then need to do a CLEAN install of MeanROM because you will be updating to a new base. Any updates you take of MeanROM after that should be installed "dirty" per Mike himself.

Continue to install dirty until Mike says otherwise or if you run into problems.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
Just to clarify, you don't HAVE to update your firmware, though it is recommended. I was still on the old firmware on all the post-3.5 MeanROMs (based on the new base) until this morning, and I had no problems. I've also dirty-flashed everything since 3.5. That said, especially since you're already S-off, there's no reason not to update to the new firmware. Here's what you need:

Rom is breaking boot

when trying to update thru ota updater it give me a status 1 error in recovery and breaks the system and boot image causeing it to freeze on the boot img. i then have to go back in recovery and restore the boot img and system from my last backup in order to boot. Does this mean it needs clean installation?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
+1

In addition, I haven't seen a single lag in my Contacts or Messaging apps since moving to 5.0 yesterday with a clean install. Woohoo!

I didn't yet set up syncing of Facebook contacts for people in my address book, though I'd eventually like to set that back up since I actually use it. And I'll need to get SMS Popup or another app like Ringo back on soon too since as I need the ability to distinguish my text messages per contact. (I get lots of reports and notifications that I don't want notification for.) But I'm going to try to hold off till tomorrow so I can verify that everything continues to run smooth as buttah till then. ;) Of course, I'll update you all here with what I find...

How about the rest of you with messaging and contact lags? How is 5.x working out for you so far?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
well the first time i updated thru ota updater i got errors, so from that point on, i found out that method doesnt work for me, instead i just download the update thru ota updater, when it finishes downloading, i just reboot into recovery, look up the file i just downloaded under ota uploader folder and install update from there, and after installing clean the cache, then reboot=nice n fast install without errors
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
For some reason, I don't think poo dipped in ice cream would taste good. I'm sorry if putting it to Apple opened a big old can of worms.

If I may stand on a soap box for a quick second... Meanies, if there is an update, and a large percentage are experiencing the same exact problems, don't put users down, or say they flashed incorrectly. Take a few minutes to read back and realize that there is indeed a problem. I was able to put a bandage on some of the problems, but not all. I'm going to assume Mikey is not impressed with rude or inconsiderate comments. Let's work together and have a helpful and courteous environment for Mikey to work in!

Mikey, thanks for the quick response to the problems we encountered the past day or two. Running smooth so far.

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

I came across a few items, some of which are mentioned in previous posts.

1. App Associations are back

2. Tabs on settings, Apps look strange

3. Screen Shot no longer working

4. Any app that you view from settings, apps displays, "Couldn't clear data for app"

None of these seem major, as the phone performs well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Can you clarify the first one? App associations are back... in what? I get the "complete action using" dialog for everything I've tried.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 1eddie5:
So i downloaded the 5.2 from ota and still no luck.

then i tried to download from this link in the forum and flash it but it still gave me the same error. STATUS 1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
1. app associations are back under all settings like before - i see that too

2. looks the same

3. screen shot still works for me, hit power + lower volume buttons and works like a charm

4. under viewing app i get where forced stop used to be theres "Permissions" and where uninstall used to be there is "Total"

so mikey could u fix the apps settings, its no biggy but throws me off a lil LOL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Sure, in settings I see Applications, and right under it is the old App Associations option. I can open it and change the associations, like in 4.9 and prior.

Fix permissions fixed screen shot. So here is one of the returning Apps Association Button :
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
Am I one of the only ones that likes app associations?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] js417:
the app associations options are back and in apps If you choose total it will ask you if you want to uninstall it...lol so it still works

screen shot work for me power and home
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
You missing the goodness of the other option. You have limited options of what apps you can set associations. For instance, I use Glympse. When I receive a Glympse, I can have it set to open in that app instead of opening in the browser.

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

Found another issue. Inside the app, select an app to remove. Both Force Quit and Uninstall are not labeled properly.

I asked this before, and I'll ask one more time... Is removing the app associations really worth all this trouble? I have no issues with the app associations being visible.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
It's not that the problem is with it being visible. It's the additional functionality we lose. Adding the increased functionality is totally worth it. I have been waiting patiently for it to come back. It is nice to have as many app associations as one needs as well as a choice for those apps you want to have a choice every tim.

Sent from my EvoLTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I know, my answer is the same as it was before too: yes, it's worth it. It's not about whether or not "App Associations" shows in settings: that's a no-never-mind. It's the fact that you now get to choose which app to open when you go to certain types of links like being able to open the actual YouTube app from the default browser, choosing "Maps" or "Internet" on an address, consistently being able to click on phone numbers to open the dialer, choice of which mail app to open on a mail link, whether to view app links in Google Play or in the browser, and on and on.

My mistake was letting 5.0 slip out of the nightlies and into the production folder too soon. Once bugs showed up in 5.0, we've gotta go through a bunch of production versions quickly to get to a stable base. I think 5.3 will be just that. It's on its way up now. The thing that complicates porting this mod to <insert-rom-name-here> is that the mod itself isn't presented as a stock mod so there's no "standard" way to implement it. The mod is based on Super LTE which has its own mods so it isn't a straightforward port to figure out which mods are fapple and what might be Super LTE ROM mods so some changes unrelated to the fapple mod crept in. I think I've got it sorted now.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] c5satellite2:
Is it safe to update prl through sprint on this rom?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yep. 25 minutes to 5.3. Sorry guys. Like I said 5.0 wasn't quite ready for production and should have stayed in the nightlies another few days and been 4.9.3, 4.9.4, etc. before becoming 5.0. Lesson learned. The nightlies don't get tested near as much as I thought but I guess that's to be expected. What looked ready wasn't quite. Hopefully 5.3 will do the trick and will tighten up those final loose screws.

I use winrar to manipulate the original zip. As you may (or may not) know, an apk is nothing more than a zip file with an apk extension. I extract systemui.apk, drag/drop the changed icons into the proper folder, then exit. Winrar tells me that so and so has changed, do I want to update the zip (main rom zip file), proper response is yes.

As for editing other text files, I just extract them to a temp folder, make necessary changes using notepad++ (can't use notepad), then drag them back into the right place. You can't use notepad because it doesn't terminate the lines properly (something about unix type EOL encoding).

If the zip is signed (which these are not), then there may be issues, but even so, the recovery has an option to ignore zip signatures.

Finally, with respect to releasing an overclocked rom, I think that's a bad idea. It's unknown what range of stable cpu speeds these cpus are capable of. Perhaps have the overclock capability built in but leave it enabled. My 2¢ worth.
