Guys I have to ask the question and please don't take any offense to it. Is sense really this sluggish even with all of these tweaks. Im not blaming the devs but HTC just didn't get this one right. This phone has solid hardware and a beautiful build but software wise they didn't do this phone justice. I'm just saying. The multitasking compared to the sg3 is not even close. I bought the HTC EVO 4g LTE first and then when I found out that the white one was coming out I traded the black one in for the sg3. I was presently surprise as the sg3 was so smooth. All though I am not a fan of touchwiz, they did a good job. So then the white HTC comes out and then I switch back. Guys I most say I was even more disappointed. My HTC EVO was smoother than this. Great job on the this Rom by the way. I'm just venting lol.

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sypris:
That's how you change the input method in ICS/Sense 4.0. It only appears when the keyboard is open.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
Its ok to vent( even though it should be in the general forum. However if you are on MeanROM and it is sluggish you may have an issue with bad download, rogue app or an app in general. This ROM is fast and for me it never misses a beat. Of course it could be faster and may not the fastest ROM out there, but I never had a problem on MeanROM Evo 3d or LTE. That MikeyXDA couldnt help fixing. I have been on all three versions through his ROMs. GB, Leaked ICS and newest OTA ICS. Remember too there will always be something better out there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] long_tall_texan:
Another suggestion is to try Apex Launcher and once it is set as default, freeze Sense. That's how I roll...

I'm new to Android and all that stuff and I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do. Right now, I'm on MeanROM 1.1 with the 1.13.651.1 firmware. I'm currently rooted with and unlocked via HTC Unlock. (I did so using the regawmod tool). In order to update to MeanROM 1.6, do I go into the Settings app and check for firmware updates and then flash this ROM? Or do I flash the 1.6 ROM first and then do the firmware update? Or do I go back to stock ROM via RUU and then do the firmware update, use the regawmod tool again, and then reflash this ROM?

As you can clearly see, I'm a noob at Android ROMs.

Nova and remap-right-to-menu mod

Does the remap-right-to-menu mod work with Nova? I just flashed it tonight and when the phone reloaded I was getting a Nova FC loop until I went into app settings and stopped it and cleared its default and choose Sense when I got back to the desktop. Now Nova will not launch at all. I have since did a restart and am still unable to get Nova to launch.

I flashed remap-right-to-menu mod over v1.6 after clearing cache and davik.

I have since performed a full system data restore with tibu - reboot into recovery and flashed the stock buttons. Now everything is back to how I had it.

But I do not have the button mod and Nova.

Any thoughts?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fgcchevy:
I am no expert myself, but u can just flash 1.6, then flash the new radios through TWRP. That is what I did. I also cleared my Google wallet settings just in case. I would recommend you do a full wipe and start fresh. Also, do a nand backup before wiping. Hth
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
You couldn't of said it better! The developer was unaware of GooManager, and now he is. That's all there is to that. No need in filling this thread up with more talk about it. He did ask questions, and I replied. So I'm a big part of that reason too. Not another word will be said about it until I get a notification on my phone saying my Rom has an update! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wolfclan68:

Odd little problem, when selecting sound effects for notifications and ringtones, they don't actually play the sound in the selection screen. After selecting the sound it works fine.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
Another plus is that you can update twrp right from goo when an update is ready...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
But again, I would never update something as important as a recovery through a third party program. That's just one more link in the chain for there to be a problem. I come here, go to the TWRP thread, read about the latest version, see if anyone is having a problem with it, and then grab the PG86IMG file right from that thread so I know I have the one they are referring to. That's something I want to control, not trust a third party.

Then again, I'm a control freak. ;)

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ChrisFSU:
Hey Mikey... two quick questions.

First, now that you've had some time to mess around with it, do you really think there is any chance you switch to the SG3? I'm asking because I am due for an upgrade and about to get the Evo.

Second, I realize this is probably a huge 'no' but can I restore the data, sd-ext and sd-ext2 folders from a MR 2.4 (Evo 3D) backup once I install this rom onto my new LTE?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
As much as I'm loving this LTEvo, I'd say chances are next to nil of me exchanging it for a GS3. My local Sprint store says they should have some GS3's Thursday so I still plan to go in and look at it side by side with the LTEvo just to satisfy my curiosity.

And no, don't ever try to restore partitions. Full wipe followed by a Titanium Backup or MyBackup Pro (my personal choice) of just the apps and app data is as far as I'd go. Oh, and you can restore data elements like contacts, bookmarks, SMS, calendar. Just nothing Android system related and definitely not a whole data partition. After the first install of MeanROM ICS, you can just flash without any wiping at all: the install automatically wipes cache and dalvik.

It's a custom kernel. Right now it's in a really early stage, so it doesn't do much if anything at all. Custom kernels allow easy overclocking, CPU voltage control, different audio codecs, etc. And cool crap like swipe-to-unlock.

Also, does anyone know what would happen if I change overclock to 16 in IM t.qcom.post_boot.sh?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DB13:
Ok guys we aren't in the EVO 3D Forum anymore, its just a Kernel lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sypris:
True, but I still gotta download the whole ROM, then find the files and move them lol. I'm not saying it's terribly difficult, but it would get repetitive. Patches would be handy for those with poor internet/mobile data to download easier, too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I don't do patches, ever. They are a nightmare. After just one new version, the patch is outdated, and even if I delete old patches, people find a way to dig them up and apply them to the wrong version and create all sorts of piecemeal havoc. That's why I list the files that have changed: so you can pull them if you want to. But I learned the hard way that I don't want piecemeal patches floating around.

EDIT: So I got it to work. Updated to the newest TWRP and (what I bet made it work) installed from INTERNAL storage. It would NOT install from my external 16GB PNY Class 10. Only after I mounted my internal phone memory and installed the ROM from there did it work. VERY weird as how I have installed every other version of this ROM off the same external storage. I would love to have input Mikey.

ORIGINAL:

So I have been on 1.2 for weeks now. Today I try updating to 1.7. I wipe everything. No dice. Try again, downloading off the mirror. Nothing. I'm still stuck at the white HTC splash screen. The only thing odd I see is that TWRP takes a while to boot (I see the teamwin boot screen for a long while about a minute until it boots normally). I then notice that my external SD card is inaccessible. TWRP doesn't see it at all.

I mount it via USB and unmount it. It then sees I have the external SD card and I proceed to flashing MeanROM 1.7. It flashes VERY fast. within 30 seconds and says it was successful. Although at the end, it says "E:Unable to mount /sdcard". What could this BE!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KnoxBNYC:
Strange new problem.... Since installing v1.7, I cannot get Apex Launcher to come up as default when I press the Home button on my phone.

I have gone in and cleared defaults on it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Apex. Not sure what else to try.

The only way to launch Apex currently is to tap on the app itself.

Ideas? Maybe I'm just too tired to figure it out on my own at 5:35am!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cy_n_ic:
Delete the sense launcher apk?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KnoxBNYC:
That's a bit more of a last-resort effort, but I'll try that if nothing else works. Thanks for the idea.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cy_n_ic:

There's still some chatter about WiFi even after the latest OTA: people in the 1.22 stock thread talking about different types of routers and settings, but ultimately a few people still have trouble after updating both firmware and ROM to the latest base. I think 1.22 fixed it for some, but it didn't fix it completely. Either that or there are some phones that have a physical hardware problem. In any case, not much you can do but wait for HTC to completely fix the problem or use the suggestions already posted. Do a "search this thread" for "wifi" and look for posts by me and you'll see them.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
On a related topic (radios)...

As some of you know, I finally had the time last week to s-off. I went that route for two reasons: one, I wanted to be sure I had first hand experience with my ROM running under both the HTC unlock and s-off... and two, I wanted to apply the whole firmware package including the new PRI. After s-off, everything was fine until I flashed the full firmware (minus hboot and recovery). Once everything got updated and I confirmed I got the new PRI, my phone is much more reluctant to roam. I know there was one report of someone saying their phone won't roam unless they choose the manual "roam only" but I knew my phone was roaming because I saw the occasional roam signal. BUT... here's what I noticed:

Before the FW update: Phone would readily (and quickly) switch between roaming and Sprint. Signal strength was rarely ever at it's lowest point.

After the FW update: Phone now seems to sit with zero bars (minimum signal) for up to a full minute before switching to roaming. It's almost as if it waits/delays roaming and doesn't switch to roaming until it has LOST a signal for a certain length of time. Like Sprint wants to cut down on roaming or something! In fact, now when I see zero bars, I can pick up the phone and dial out and after about 10 seconds after dialing the number, then the roam symbol comes up and the call is actually made.

I'm thinking about flashing the old firmware (1.13) and just updating the radio, going back to the old PRI. Anyone else notice a "reluctance to roam" after flashing the full firmware-minus-hboot? Again, I know it's the firmware because I ran s-off for about a day with only the radio updated before I flashed the full firmware. It was only after I flashed the full firmware and got the new PRI/etc. that the reluctance to roam hit.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] WobbleTheHutt:
any chance for incremental patches for small updates?

any chance we could get incremental patches when its just a few APK's or system files and the build prop that get updated? I've noticed that both 1.6 and 1.7 have just been small changes and fixes, and I have just been extracting files that are marked changed/updated and manually updating them. via TWRP or ES file explorer. it would make a lot of sense bandwidth wise etc when there are small updates to also offer a quick patch zip, as a re flash definitely should not be needed. thanks!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
I have noticed that my signal has dropped and most of the time (at home) it shows no bars.... with that said I am still able to call and recieve calls with no disconnect. I am wondering if the bars are just not showing the right info. At night it usally goes into roaming but I have only seen it once since I did the update. (just thought I would add)

Thanks for all your hard work Mikey

Sent from my EVO using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yeah, I think that's okay because zero bars is actually the minimum signal. If you see zero bars, you still have the minimum signal: it's only when you see the "x" on the signal meter that you've actually lost signal so you can maintain a call with zero bars. Mine typically flutters between zero and 1 in my house and I can maintain a call no problem... usually! My complaint is that it seems like before the firmware upgrade, the phone would switch to roaming when it had a really poor Sprint signal. And after the firmware, it doesn't appear to switch to roaming until the Sprint signal is completely lost, resulting in short delays when your phone is not on ANY network and has no signal even though the "no signal" icon is never displayed.

I can actually test/repeat this in my office because there's one spot beside a metal filing cabinet where the Sprint tower is blocked but Verizon has line of sight. If I set the phone there, the display shows zero bars as if it still has a minimal signal yet the phone won't ring if you call it for about 2 minutes and the phone will go to voicemail. Then the roam symbol finally lights up and if you call it then, it rings. I think I've discovered Sprint trying to be "sneaky" with roaming and make it so the phone roams less frequently... or even waits until the phone has lost Sprint signal completely before it switches to roaming. Maybe if you're already on a call, it'll switch before signal loss but if the phone is sitting idle, it appears to lose signal for some length of time before it roams. Didn't used to do that.

In short, I think the new radio is better... but I'm not sure about the rest of the firmware bits.

Mike
