No plans to. I've looked at the Bravia engine closely and I simply don't believe in what it is doing. All they do is add extra sharpening to the image which gives a false sense of "detail" but at the expense of other artifacts. Being into digital photography, people spend time adjusting sharpness to their taste. I don't want to override that with oversharpening tools.

The S3 is a great phone. Wish I could have both, but I'm certainly more than happy with the LTEvo. The flashes are all there: you're looking in the old /sdcard2/MeanROM-ICS folder. The new one for this ROM will be in sdcard/MeanROM-ICS. In other words, look in sdcard, not sdcard2.

It's all good. I don't take that as bashing: I want to get to the bottom of it too. But I want to make sure I have the facts. So your comment above is based on 0.8? Definitely give 0.9 a try! I reworked a lot of the multi-core stuff and it's managed quite a bit differently now (even from 0.8 to 0.9). For whatever reason, the mpdecision and thermald processes work a lot differently on this phone than the Evo 3D. You have to manage (start and stop) those processes at all the right times to get smooth operation. You can't just disable them like you did on the Evo 3D or things start to lag or even lock up. I think I have it all sorted in 0.9 but I'm going to wait another day to see what verdict(s) are coming in on 0.9. I wanted to be sure I had everything perfect in the CPU, performance, and battery arena before releasing 1.0.

Hey guys,

I haven't flashed or modified the settings file listed in post #3 before. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27774570&postcount=3

Just curious, are those options discussed there still valid? Do we have a performance vs battery option with the new kernal?

Also, in my MeanRom-ICS folder, I only have zip files for 4x5-rosie and screenoffsms. Aren't some of you using the 4x4 rosie? I'd like to use 4x5 but I believe there are some issues right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treetolber:
Yea I understand. I did have it on a couple of the ROMs I had on my old 3D. It's cool. I didn't know the power buttons had issues. I for one do not like the camera button as the screen on. When it is enabled, I find that too often the screen gets turned on while in my pocket. That is not conducive to good battery life. So I have placed the script in the data folder to disable that feature.

Anyone? Would it be something that could be fixed by adding some code to the MeanROM.opt file. I'll be trying to do something else and press the button, activating Google Now when I don't need it.

Thanks in advance. Running 4.3.1 MeanROM; S-ON; 2.13 baseband with all the current radios and PRI/NV
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
How do you turn off Google now?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jerz:
Half press the camera button, go to the bottom of the screen and hit the three dot menu icon, hit settings, Google Now, and the on off is in top right.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
Thanks. Am I doing this while in an app? My half press doesn't seem to do anything. AMD if I hold it I get the camera app.

Nandroided back to aroma because I'm not receiving text messages as I should so I'm thinking I should relock unroot run the latest ruu so I can update my radio n ect as I am hoping that'll cure everything....should I go for that? Running baseband 1.05.11.0606 hd boot 1.15
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
It can't be controlled by the MeanROM.opt file, but you can turn it off. Go to system/usr/keylayout and edit the file keypad_8960.kl. Change the word "SEARCH" to "FOCUS" (without the quotes) and you should be good to go.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] manaup:
You can change that with rom tools... Right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
Yes, you can do it that way... I just was curious if it could be done in the MeanROM.opt file so that it was automatic when doing ROM updates. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nickmus:
Mike and zepp, that's a great combination. I am running 4.2.1 with zepps supercharged mod, performance in outstanding. The battery charge doesn't last as long though.

By that's not comparing apple's to apple's. With the added performance, I upped my playtime. More play time is what eats up my batter life now. Don't get me wrong battery life is still very good, I can go up to 17 hours on a charge. So this post is just feedback.

I do have a question about the ota updater: Is it supposed to download updates if I minimize it to the background? Mine will only download if it is visible. That's a pain in the arse cause I have to ait for 580ish mbs to download. Would it be possible to download patch updates. The file downloads would be extreemly small compared to the entire Rom. I understand if the entire Rom needs to be updated due to major component changes.

That's only a suggestion, concedering the large amount of users that update.

Anyway great job mike. And a great job to zepp also. Time for me to go get the new update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
Actually, my phone was off for most of the time and I've had similar battery usage. Mikey has already said that when the phone is idling that battery usage is minimal. My battery meter has continue this morning as it normally does and i simply posted how amazing it is when not in use.

I've noticed that and also just turning the phone sideways has caused mine to stop downloading too. I haven't checked to see if it was fixed in the new version yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
I'm not sure how long you've been here. But, something you'll learn in a hurry is Mikey doesn't use update patches. It's always a full download of his work to avoid turning it into a patchwork of updates where some people might miss something important.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:

I've been out of the loop for a bit when it comes to updates, I've been running 3.4 for the longest.. but today at work I notice the OTA updater offering me an update to 4.3. Would I be able to go directly from 3.4 to 4.3 using the OTA updater or would I have to flash anything beforehand? Not sure if there's been any changes to the base or anything, so I'm weary of just jumping straight to 4.3. Also I'm S-Off incase I do need to flash something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 10-Dee-Q:
okay i might be scolded when i post this question but i really need some help.

so please any kind soul out there help me.

im new to android, though this is my second phone

i've a motorola photon and i;ve rooted and do some mods with it but i never installed a custom ROM yet.

so i need held or step by step here for the evo LTE as from what i saw the guides is not as clear to me.

i have a brand new htc evo lte.

hardware ver. 0003

software vver . 1.13.651.1 710RD

android 4.0.3

htc sense 4.0

htc sdk api level 4.20

kernel ver. 3.0.8--1360-g3fd0422

root@ABM031#1

baseband ver. 1.02.12.0427

its unlock and im using it it with my CDMA carrier outside of the US.

now from what i've gather from this forum .

i want to

-root

-s off

-install TRWP

- and install a custom ROM (and i've decided to give this meanROM a try as the majority of people here are using this ROM)

but i really don't know the step by step

and what should i do first ?

should i root first ?

or install trwp first ?

or should i install ota update first ? etc

so please guide my here , ive read the forum but still the language or the terms used is too advanced for me :)

by the way is that all that i should do to my phone to make it better ?

or is there any other additional mod or steps that i missed ?

thank you so much.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
I don't recall if 3.4 required the 2.13 firmware but, if you don't have it, now is a good time to go and get it. Make sure you have TWRP 2.2.2.0 installed and you should be good to go.

At this point I would recommend a Clean flash over dirty one (just in case:D)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
Key 211 I believe. The one closest to the top of the file.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] matchosan:
Mahalo. After asking, I started to experiment(something I should have done before asking), and I ended up changing both.

211 = FOCUS

217 = CAMERA

Just changing 211 made the side(camera) button not work at all, not even when on the home screen.

Only it seems to wake the camera really slow when you fully depress the side button. Is that the way it is now?

I thought I remember it being a little quicker to respond when we were on versions of MeanROM before 2.13
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
I've always had to hold the camera button down a bit before the camera would load.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] odawg1022:
first is RegaMOD http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690919 it will root and install trwp. Make sure you get the latest twrp before you try to install a rom goomanager in the app store will take care of that for you.

Second is Lazy Panda s-off http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737123 if your hboot isn't 1.12.1111 you wont be able to get s-off if you dont get s-off you have to take extra steps to get the new radios and kernel

if you get s-off then third you want to flash your new firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704612

fourth back up your current rom then system restore and flash your new rom

That should get you where you trying to go
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Exclusive256:

Have a couple of questions on 4.3. Thought I saw the flashlight in quick settings but now it's not there. Ran rom cleaner a couple of days ago would that have taken it out. Also how do I access the other beats options. Do I need the head phones to go with the corresponding option?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
4.3.2 is on its way up. We've now got a meanrom.opt.jackhammer property in build.prop. It defaults to "true" which makes the haptic feedback more prominent (like it was in 1.22 base). Unfortunately the property has to be in build.prop before boot, so you can't make this one sticky. You can, however, change its value (to false) in the bottom of build.prop if you want to go back to the stock "dainty" haptic feedback. After putting it back to the way it was before 2.13 (with meanrom.opt.jackhammer set to true), I agree the 2.13 haptic feedback is way too soft.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
If we want no haptic feedback (hate it actually), can we still turn it off in system settings?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Sure. This doesn't do anything but change the strength when it IS on. When it's off, it's off.

4.3.2 is ready... for those who want the jackhammer.

Running 4.3.1 :good:

Seeing a couple things:

1. Set the MeanRom.opt to Battery and second core is mostly off-line even when I turn the screen on. OP says only when screen off. I can get it to come online if I play music and do virus scan such.. but it takes a lot. I though it should bring the second core on-line when the screen comes on. Is this right or has it changed?

2. Changing the MeanRom.opt back to Performance and rebooting, the second core still does not come on-line. Do I need to clear caches or something?

On a side note, I normal, in the past would loose 4% battery over night on Performance... Last night set to Battery to see if there was an improvement and to my surprise I lost 7%.

Best way? Definitely a clean flash of Meanrom, then run Romcleaner immediately. From that point on, I always download new meanrom (nandroid of course), wipe /system, run romcleaner, reboot. done.

From TWRP, after adding a MeanROM zip, add ROM Cleaner zip to Install. Then reboot when completed. Rom Cleaner is made to do its thing before initial booting of an installed ROM. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
You can do it either way. I always dirty flash the mean updates and run rom cleaner, so i see no reason to fresh install to run it. If you happen to run into problems (shouldn't be the case) by all means clean install then run RC
