You restore data and voila. You'll have to redo your widgets, though.

Actually, it's there if you know where to look. ;) Go to /system/etc/init.d and open 01buttonlights with Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and edit the file. You can change the "2" in that file to any number you want: higher is brighter.

In other news, my phone went crazy last night in the middle of the night and all of a sudden started dropping 1% every 20 minutes according to the MeanROM.chk log. I checked logcat and I can see that QMI was "flicking" the WiFi connection every few minutes trying to do messaging over WiFi. Apparently when roaming, MMS-over-WiFi tries to do messaging via WiFi and it keeps waking the WiFi and trying to reenable it when it's already enabled. I'm going to shut off MMS WiFi in the next release to prevent this. Sprint is obviously having issues in my area because I'm roaming 100% of the time since last night and I usually only flick over to roaming occasionally. The constant roaming is why I found this "wake lock" so I'm glad it happened. Hopefully turning off the WiFi MMS option will stop the drain while roaming. My guess is that the constant waking is because WiFi isn't set up to do text messaging efficiently and instead of just letting the radio do the work, it has to constantly ping for messages. And... Sprint probably prefers WiFi over roaming to reduce data costs. All reasons NOT to use the messaging over WiFi option IMO.

Tried this, first changed it to 4 and didn't notice much of a difference...then changed it to 8 and still not discernible difference. :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EindhovenOne:
I'm sorry if this is an unintelligent question, but I just want to know for sure, if you shut off the MMS via WiFi, will that also shut off SMS via WiFi, or is that a different service altogether and will remain? When I am at work we have terrible cell service inside our communications center and I am on WiFi all day txting away. Thanks for the ROM, I am really enjoying it!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaos420:
so what are the ui tweaks in this rom? like the pokemon on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KnoxBNYC:
Thanks, Mike! Worked like a charm! I did not know to find it there.

EvoN00b: Not to ask a dumb question, but you did change the permissions on the file to make sure your settings were saved, right? I changed (in two places in the file) from "2" to "4" and noticed a marked brightness increase (after a reboot, of course). I think I'll leave it at 4.

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

MikeyXDA: Would it be harmful, or too cumbersome, to have this run (not the app, but what the app does) every time the system reboots? Records keep relocking on me (or maybe it's because I have new Facebook friends). When I run the app, it is VERY picky because the contacts database is "busy", which I would think you could get around during a reboot (before the DB is being used).

Thoughts?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EvoN00b:
Not a dumb question at all. No, I didn't know I had to change permissions. I just edited the file, then hit the menu button and "save changes."

My turn for a dumb question, lol, what do I have to change permissions to? I used Root Explorer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KnoxBNYC:
In that file (long tap, and choose Properties on the file you wish to edit), change so you can "W"rite to it. I just change all to Write.

To make sure you've done it properly, make the changes you want to make (changing the 2 to 5 or whatever), save and exit, then go back in and double check the changes are still there. That's your litmus.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
They're both the same. I'll disable both but leave a flashable ZIP in the MeanROM-ICS folder to flash it back on. But I'd leave it off if you can. "Terrible" call service is fine: your texts will still get through: texts only need an occasional "ACK" from the cell tower with a few seconds of bad signal. "No" service is a different matter.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EindhovenOne:
Thank you for the swift reply and the clarification, Mike. I appreciate leaving the ZIP in there to flash it back and will see how it goes without it. Your dedication is unmatched, sir.

So loving this ROM!!!!!

I just updated to the latest firmware, on MeanROM 3.4, O/C to 1.728 and it is really snappy, and is working awesome.

This is what our phones are supposed to be like. Just ran a quadrant (not epeen'ing, just for testing) and got a 5675..

I have had this WiFi issue for a while. I have my phone connected at home and it's just sitting there. I will turn the screen on and the WiFi is not connected and the 3g is on, it then switches to WiFi so I think my WiFi turns off sometimes and then back on. I do have WiFi set for on all the time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TP1085:
Also, just flashed the 2.1 OC and got a 5932 on Quadrant, and damn the phone is flying. It did restart almost right away the first time it loaded up, but we'll see if that was a one time only thing. I may test this high speed out for a little bit longer tho.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
That's not the kernel that comes with MR 3.4. Did you install a different kernel? You may have negated all of Mikey's battery tweaks if you did. Reflash the ROM and see if your battery improves.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joebarkho:
Some app is keeping your phone awake as you can see, try a fresh install and make sure you don't restore apps and data too. Uninstall chrome if it's still an issue

I get it night and day. It's also not the same times ect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .torrented:
You have to flash the firmware if you want to update it. The Rom will NOT update it. People keep confusing this with the way the bases work. Firmware has to be flashed through the bootloader. That is the only way you will ever get these.

Correct me if I'm wrong about this next part but "mikey cannot bake the firmware update in his Rom, you the user have to flash this on your own"

Take captains file that does NOT have the hboot, recovery, or kernel in it and rename it to "PJ75IMG.zip" place it on the root of the sdcard2 (your actual sdcard) boot into bootloader (power + vol down) then it will find the file that you renamed and press vol up to accept the update and then just reboot to system and you are good to go

Mikey has stated before that AnTuTu was more a more accurate measure of benchmarking. With 3.3 OC'd to 1.89, I was getting AnTuTu scores of 7600+, but now with 3.4 OC'd to 2.1, I'm getting 8100+ on AnTuTu.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eeman_:
This kernel is in his remove OC zip file

included with the ROM. I tried that to see if it helped, but it didn't.

That's probably my best bet. I thought it might have been Facebook, but it's disabled and the problem is still occurring. Thanks for the suggestion!

Edit: I'll probably do a fresh install with the next ROM update.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joebarkho:
OC should barely make a difference in battery; yeah its running higher, but things finish faster at the same time. You can un freeze fb since it's not the culprit.

For the fresh install, wipe factory cache dalvik and wipe system too. Don't restore any apps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Nygel:
Hope this helps some user. If your are reading with your eyes crossed you will not understand..lol

You can flash the complete firmware thru bootloader and it will update the necassary items if your are s-off, from being s-off you will see your radio tag change, your pri tag change, your build tag and h-boot should stay the same, also your kernel if it change from the one that came with the Rom just flash it from the mean folder. When the new Rom is available then your build tag should change.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Check your chrome settings on your phone. I have found that if you have open tab sync enabled chrome will suck the life out of your battery. Also check other sync settings with your apps. Your phone should not be awake that often if you are not using the device.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
Well I can say this with complete confidence... This firmware update DEFINATELY is a positive update. I have never since I got my new phone have been able to get over 1 MB of download on 3 G. Its always around 420kbs - 750kbs. I've tested it A LOT to be able to say that. I only really care about 3G because when I'm away from home, that is the primary data available where I am at the majority of the time

As for the ROM now that it has settled a little bit... also pretty damn good. Not clocked too high.... 1.89 and looks pretty good.

Next test..full discharge for battery life.

Peace out Meanies :D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
When Mikey puts out the next version of MeanRom it will be on the new base which is 2.13.651.1 and new kernel. It will not include the new firmware which is radio 1.22.651.3, PRI (which stayed the same), Hboot, and several other firmware bits. You will have to update your firmware right before you install the new MeanRom or right after before you boot into the rom. The problem some will run into is the Hboot 1.15 S-On may not let you update the radios and firmware without returning back to stock and running an official RUU or taking the OTA. The reason why I am skeptical about the S-On people with the Hboot 1.15 is HTC blocks the installation of the radios just like you have to jump through some hoops to install a kernel. In other threads, people that were S-on and hboot 1.15 had to return to stock, including recovery, take the OTA and then re root to get the new firmware installed.

If you are S-on and Hboot 1.12 then you should be able to update the firmware and radios by running the firmware update files located on XDA in several posts.

If you are S-Off you can flash away as you don't have the security features that block the flashing of firmware, radios, and kernels!!!

That is why if you are still on the hboot 1.12 and S-on it would be best to go ahead and run the s-off procedure so you will be good to go on all future upgrades. Remember though, the S-off procedure requires you to be on Hboot 1.12 and the 1.13 base software with a stock rom loaded and no build.prop mods. If your read the instructions in the S-off post you should have no problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpenrod23:
+1 on the firmware being a positive update - I've had the same experience. :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Been working on the new 2.13 base. Going is slow on this one. Once you get into it and start porting, you realize this is a MAJOR change! Looking at the code, a lot of it is rewritten, not just patched. I obviously jumped the gun the other day when I took a look at what they did with OOM priorities (not much change there) because a large part of the framework is entirely different. The multitasking fixes may look like bandaids but there's a LOT of stuff that's a lot more significant than bandaids here! This means that on the first release (3.5) we are going to lose a few things at least temporarily until they can be ported to the new base. The volume up/down to skip tracks for example, and possibly some quick settings. Looking at the changes, it's entirely doable but some of the mods we've been using may take a day per mod to get just right. So be prepared for 3.5 to lose maybe 20% functionality while we roll into the new base. I'm going to get it solid with as many tweaks as will "fit" easily, then we'll go from there. Looking at the new base, it seems to be worth the half step backward in features.

On another note I am running 3.4 @ 1.7 and seems pretty stable now for me. I have a few things here and there but I think it has to do with me always doing a dirty flash. Battery is great now as you can see. Oh also I am undervolting and once I went to 1.7 I haven't noticed the GU glitches I was getting.

Beta 1 on its way up...

ETA: 9 min

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
My 1 O'clock appt. is running a little behind so I thought I would do a little tinkering around and came up with something interesting. First, not that it is required I just like to frequently because I do have signal issues in the area I work in, but I updated my PROFILE and PRL and lo and behold, 4G popped in!! So I put it to the test and came up with these 3 speed tests:

The first is with the speed test app working from the phone (SpeedTest.net)

The second is straight from the browser at Speakeasy.net that I have been using recently ICS Browser + :D NICE!!

The third is also from the ISC Browser +, but I was on my way upstairs and we have a window tint on all the exterior windows that reduces the signal strength quite a bit... still not bad considering.

***Food for thought Mikey*** ... a side dish if you will to put on the back burner for when you get a chance. Maybe look into this ICS Browser + and see if it may be worth replacing the stock browser in future builds. Similar functionality, just seems to be much better. Maybe that's a biased opinion because I have been using it with great results compared to stock, chrome and opera.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
3.5 Beta 1 is available:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/EVO_3D_Developers/mikeyxda/live betas/

Working:

- Extended power menu

- 4x5 Rosie (no flash for 4x4 at least yet)

- Google Now

- All mean tweaks including dual core and battery saver

Known issues:

- Battery meter is there but doesn't work right yet

Other than the battery meter, no other known bugs. I'll probably release a beta every couple hours until I'm done. You should be able to dirty flash all the betas up to including the final 3.5, but I make no guarantees. Please let me know about any issues you find and remember, there will be a lot of mods missing at this point like quick settings, MMS mods, etc.

This last update broke some element in my phone where I can only use the native video application to record video. Any 3rd party video app I use from the market, the video just crashes. FML! Going to try a different ROM and verify if this borked the phone all together to use 3rd party video apps. :( Already tried to NAND back to previous versions of MeanROM where the apps were working. Even did a factory reset. Still borked. Anyone else notice this? I did an update through the OTA updater. Regretting it now. :crying:
