Just repeated the same steps. Went into k9 mail, clicked a link, and was prompted to open either the stock browser or ICS+. I chose ICS+, chose default, and didn't get prompted the next time. Rebooted and repeated and it worked perfectly. Went straight to ICS+ when I clicked on the link in mail.

Mike, I'm having the same problem. I stated it in a post above above. I'm downloading the 5.5 version to my wife's phone now.

I did some testing and none of the app associations are sticking on my phone after a reboot.

On my wife's phone, her browser choice Dolphin is sticking but her choice for YouTube is not sticking.

Mike, you know what is happening behind the scenes. What should I look at? It's almost as if read/write permissions are incorrect.... But it could be a ton of things without knowing how it works.

When I put my phone in my car Dock the home screen DOES rotate to landscape but it won't rotate without the dock.

That is the accweather lock screen which showed up my phone when I updated the app (I think it may have been the paid for app) . While on the lock screen open the settings menu and you can turn it off.

Bluetooth cracking noises

Before when I was using Bluetooth to listen to music and navigation when the navi would speak it would lower the music and the navigation voice would be clear. Then it would volume on the music would go up by itself. Now it seems that the music continues to play loud and the navigation voice just tries to speak over it but the navigation voice is not clear and u hear cracking noises when it talks while music is on. Even when I get a notification while music is playing it does the same thing. Has anyone else noticed this??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Have you tried it using the stock Mail app? It seems that the people who are able to reproduce the error are using the stock app rather than a 3rd party app.

Unlock and Root Prior to Activationg?

Sorry if this is off topic but.... I just got my son a EVO LTE and was wondering if it was safe to unlock, s-off and flash prior to activating on the Sprint network? Anyone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
Had a quick question about something that had been happening for a while and I can't remember if its an Android thing or Rom specific: when I click on a mailto: link using the browser it always asks me to select a mail account. If I select gmail or hotmail, which are both on my phone, I get prompted saying no account exists and I am asked to set one up. I normally just exit out and copy/paste the link, bit it would be convenient not having to do that. Is it normal or do I need to set one up linked to ics browser + and then it will use that from then on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Welcome to MeanROM!! Now as for that video you refer to it should be REMOVED from the original post. It is no longer valid and was created more than 50 versions of this rom ago. I do not know why Mikey still includes it in his original post since it is so outdated and the rom no longer includes most of the features in that video. The video is based on the original rom with the original release from HTC. Since then we have been upgraded to Sense 4.1 and ICS 4.04. When this happened a lot of the tweaks were either not needed or wouldn't work on the new base. Specifically, landscape rosie, 360 rosie, and a properly spaced 4X5 rosie. You may see some roms that advertise these features but most of them took code from the old software or another phone and mutated it into the new software. Mikey doesn't do this so until the code is rewritten you won't see them in MeanROM. You may feel jipped after seeing the video and expecting these features, well don't. MeanROM is the best, most stable, and most popular rom on the EVO 4g LTE. No one provides better support or faster upgrades so you will be very happy with this rom. If you really want landscape rosie look for "ultimate rotation control" in the play store, it works pretty good. Enjoy the rom you won't be sorry.

MIKEY!!!! Please remove that video from the original post it is so outdated and useless!!

It is, but what hboot are you on? If you are not on hboot 1.12, you will have to do an hboot downgrade procedure to obtain s-off and right now that solution is in a beta stage and requires use of linux. The problem you may run into is, if you brick your device and it wasn't activated yet, you may have a problem claiming it on insurance or warranty through sprint since the phone was never activated on the network. I would activate first, then do what you want to do. There is no advantage to rooting or gaining s-off before activating it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yes. Tried both the stock mail app and K9. Both work perfectly (for me). As soon as I check default and select one of the browsers (Internet or ICS+), it uses that forever with no choice from that point forward, even after a full power off/reboot. The mail app shouldn't really come into play anyway because when you click a link in the mail app, it's the browser the gets the default: not the mail app. So if you are in mail and click a link and choose ICS+ browser (for example) as the default, that default goes to ICS+ browser. Any email app you use will then use the default stored with the ICS+ browser app. So if you want to clear the defaults and get back the choice, you've got to go back to ICS+ browser and clear defaults there. Then the choice comes up again. I suspect since there are only two or three people complaining, it must be working for most? Would need more feedback I guess.

Mike, you say you want feedback and I've been giving it and largely being ignored here.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Maybe you can produce a few logcats, where you click a link before and after setting the default app, and see where the differences are? And then try it again after a reboot and see if you get the same result?

Hey Mikey, using 5.5, flippin love it. Major kudos.

Teeny tiny possible request. Was playing around with Viper rom on a friends 3Vo, and was fiddling around in his vipertweaks app. In there they had a ton of options for fonts, and I tried the one labeled Ubuntu (because I remembered their fonts being nice in OS). Anyways, the font turned out to be amazingly easy on the eyes, and I thought it was a very sharp/good looking font. Was wondering if you could either make some kind of flashible zip for that Ubuntu font (because I have NO idea how to deal with fonts, that vipertweak app did it all), or maybe take a look at it and see if it'd be worthy of becoming the new font for 5.5+ (if you end up liking it as much as me).

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] robbo10:
You can find that font in Rom toolbox and easily install it from there.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
Yeah, it doesn't have anything to do with the stock client because it's for all app associations for me. When I click on a bookmark, it prompts which browser and then that clears when I reboot. Similar if I click on a link for a youtube video for the youtube player or if I click on an email link choosing between Gmail or work email.

I will flash back to 5.4 and see if it happens there too but I'm pretty sure it wasn't as I would have definitely noticed. If you need some kind of log, let me know what I need to do and I'll be happy to try and help troubleshoot. I won't be back on for a few hours and can't troubleshoot just yet so I apologize if it takes a few hours to post back as I'm about to head out for a bit.

Just as an FYI, I'm S-Off, all of my firmware is up to date, and my updates are usually pretty trouble free. In fact, I wasn't even having any of the messaging lags others were having or any of the other FCs that others reported. I don't have any other tweaks or themes installed (I've used Blueberry theme but I didn't flash it this time to make sure that wasn't he culprit).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Don't know how you've been ignored. I've been responding directly to the posts about app associations being reset on reboot. What I meant when I said I wanted more feedback was that I wanted more people to comment on whether or not they can replicate the problem rather than the same two people reposting the same problem over and over. Since I've only seen two people who can replicate this problem, am I to assume it works properly for the other thousand people using this Rom? That's why I wanted more feedback, even if it's just "works for me".

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tangobango:
Hi,

I usually do not reboot my phone that much. I decided to check out the clearing defaults. I went into email and clicked on link and choose Firefox. I then rebooted and then went back into email to click Link. When I did it asked me again to check which browser to use. I thought it might be browser. I did it again with stock browser and got the same. I had to check which browser to use. I might do a clean install but it really does not bother me lol. Just wanted to add this information. I know it works for the majority so who knows.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jerz:
eh.... too late.... the new phone came with hboot 1.12 so I used regawmod (note to self you MUST WAIT and be patient because it has to step through all of the htc dev windows) which installed twrp, ate some bamboo , flashed the fastboot hboot and upgraded the firmware via captain throwback's file.... just waiting for the kid to come home after band practice to activate and then I'll flash meanrom.... best I can tell there will be no issues with activating.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
After you clicked on which browser to use, did you check use as default for this action afterwards?

Sent from my lair.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
I know you were asking him, but since I initially brought it up, yes, of course I'm checking to use as default. And it sticks until reboot. Glad to see that the initial two of us aren't the only ones.

Mike, is it possible that it's coming from one of the zips in the MeanROM folder? I choose 1.8 OC, kb off, sms on, disable camera search, and disable camera wake.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdonmc1948:
Quick question Mike. I prefer Facebook version 1.9.7 instead of the 1.9.11 that is pre-installed in 5.5. I tried changing it as I have done in previous versions by over writing with Titanium but when I reboot it comes back. Can I change this without messing up the rom? Not THAT big a deal if it'll mess up an awesome rom though! Thank you for all you do for us!

I've been trying to reproduce the app association "bug" that some of you guys are having with no luck, rebooted twice and tried again clearing the defaults in the app ( Firefox ) and no issue here, I did dirty flash 5.5... No sense launcher, Nova launcher of course... Used links from twitter and email... No issue here, thanks Mike for this great rom!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I dunno... I'm stumped here, scratching my head. I don't know of anything in the flashable ZIPs that should cause a problem. They're all compatible and none of them overwrite anything in the framework.

Thanks. What I'm trying to do is get a group having the problem and a group not, then we can look at the commonalities and maybe figure out what is causing it. Right now, I'm not seeing the common link.

Hi,

I just want to say that I love this Rom. It is the only one I have used every since I rooted my phone. I bet it is something that I have I installed on my phone. I might try to do a fresh install later but this is not really bothering me.

Thanks Mikey
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rkclark:
I. Can confirm this scenario. I am on 5.5 with awesomesause 2.3 kernal with tw's blueberry theme. I do replace the mail.apk provided in the base Rom with a stock one for exchange support but I confirmed this behavior on both gmail and mail as the app source.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Which behavior are you confirming: having the problem or not having the problem? With all that stuff installed, what happens if you just install the ROM and no extra "sauce" on top. I'm suspecting that the cause of the problem may be extra "butter" some of you guys are applying.

BTW, looks like timberwolf keeps the blueberry theme up to date and I don't see anything that should cause a problem... but you just never know sometimes. Sometimes it's something you'd never think of and a place you'd never think to look. Just looking for common links at this point.

What is the program to remove the developers warning when you first root?

I was lucky enough to get an original hboot. I did brick the phone but followed the directions to unbrick and refeed the panda. Just lost some sweat.

When I return the original phone, is there a program to get it back to stock and changed the lock status back to lock?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] icethegreat:
I also tried this. Opened a twitter app, clicked on a link. It asked what browser, chose chrome, applied as default and ok'd. Restarted phone, clicked on same link and it brought the association dialog again. I currently have meanrom zips installed from the folder aswell (smswake, search off, camera wake off, 1.8 oc) and nothing else.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Thanks. If you get a chance could you flash the 1.7 OC and see if it is any different. I don't see anything in your setup that could affect anything unless the 1.8 OC is causing some sort of issue.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rkclark:
Well duhh could have addded that. The behavior that each reboot clears the app association.

I will have some time later to do a stock clean install and. Retest.

Thanks for such a great Rom. To me this is really minor.

Is there a way to get back the don't ask me again thing to pop up when I plug in a usb from a pc. Or is there a way to set the default to that of charge, but leave the usb icon for me to hit if I want to make it a usb drive?

Also I just upgraded to the 5.5 and I have to go back to 5.2 because for some reason my people are all effed up. It's not entirely bad, but my wife's info is gone, but someone who had the number changed had their recent number. I did do a full wipe. As in I deleted the phone's storage out completely. Luckily I just did a full backup too, so hopefully I can recover, if not then I'll just do another full wipe and reinstall and go from there.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
You said it worked on FireFox but not Chrome. Maybe Chrome (it's defaults) is just busted... wouldn't surprise me. What about if you try setting the default to the stock "Internet" browser? Does that work? BTW, your logcat showed nothing related to app associations that I could see. They usually show up with the word "preference". So the preference appears to be getting set... and then something is clearing it. Maybe your logcat was before/after it got cleared.

Oh. I doubt this is a biggie but I'm also on nova launcher. Btw don't go on those 24hrs non-stop dev bug hunting expedition, this is not a biggie :D

I was able to duplicate when selecting the default browser. After I rebooted, it asked me which browser I would like again. I installed the 5.5 with the BB theme and use Apex as my launcher. I'm not sure which kernal I'm using though. It's whatever would be with the 5.5 install.

This is not a big deal for me. If this only happens on reboots, it doesn't matter to me too much since I don't reboot that often. I consider this very minor....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] icethegreat:

Pictures Not Showing

This has happened to me with every version since 5.0. After doing both a dirty flash or full wipe, my gallery only shows a couple folders and it's pictures.

- When I use ES File Explorer, the files are there though and in the correct location.

- When I mount as a disk drive, the files are there also.

- When I mount as "Media Share", the folders are all there but the images are not there inside the folder.

- When I pull the card out and put it in a usb adapter, the files are all there.

I've cleared data and force stopped Gallery multiple times along with rebooting thinking that something is hanging up

I've downloaded multiple gallery apps and gallery refresh apps and none of them will show the files. The only way to get them to show back up in gallery is to copy the images to my computer (mount as disk drive) then copy them back via mount as Media Share.

Some other files are the same way (some mp3 notifications I've put on the card). All my normal mp3 audio files are working though.

I've even used a different micro sd card thinking my card had been corrupted so I know it's not the card.

Anyone else having similar issues? Or does anyone have any ideas?
