Mike, the oc issue is that the values dont appear to be sticking. There has been a fairly large discussion in this thread the last few days regarding this. To be honest i dont think we know 100% if the issue is the values not sticking or certain apps are reporting incorrectly. For many running quadrant at stock vs oc the results are the same. I guess a good test would be to nandroid first then set the script to 14 or 15. If the device boots and works properly than the value probably isnt sticking as very few phones can run at that clock speed. Who wants to test? ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Natodu:
Hey do we need to delete the battery bin file. Or any other battery calibration steps?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] copc:
Thanks I updated to 2.2.1 through Goo and it worked the first time!!!

Thanks again! :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RHall1340:
Exactly the same symptoms I am experiencing on both my wife my my EVO's. If I set the 1.7 overclock zip Quadrant standard shows the current speed at 1.5ghz and the max speed at 1.7ghz, but the results of the benchmark indicate that the overclock is NOT working. I went through user 'trelll' and tried his fix of reflashing but it still did not stick. I've tried fresh installs, manually changing the settings, etc.. If I set the overclock too high the phone boot loops, if I set it where it works, the phone boots but I get no increase in performance and Quadrant shows current speed of 1.5ghz and max speed as whatever I set it to. So it appears it works at least briefly while the phone boots but doesn't hold long after that.

Something is definitely borked with the overclocking as tons of people are experiencing it. Definitely not saying its Mikey's fault, but its not working for me and a lot of others and doesn't appear to be just an issue of upping the voltage or dropping the ghz.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
hey mike,

i know you and mik probably work pretty close together. have you thought about porting the button mapping from the one x over to the evo?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nadvlad:
My overclock seems to stick. Even after reboot. I'm using SysTune. I undervolted with root explorer too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
Since when is it recommended to full wipe?

If you run into trouble, then wipe, but 99% of the time it has nothing to do with the ROM itself but other junk you've installed.

There is very little reason to ever full wipe as long as your moving forward, since 99% of the apps don't need there data "wiped" to upgrade.

That goes for system apps as well.

It's very rare a well running ROM needs a full wipe to upgrade.

It's just parnoid folks. I think Titanium Backup/Restore is more risky than a Dirty install.

I would try reformatting your internal SD Card, that is about when MeanROM copies MeanROM ICS folder to the Internal SD Card.

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

Have you tried changing your WIFI Bandwidth settings from Auto to 2.5Ghz.

The phone WILL misbehave with SOME routers if set to Auto (which is the default).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baldben:
I tried OCing to a high value and it gave me bootloops and artifacts, which seems to suggest it is generally sticking. However Better Battery Stats shows 1.5 high in CPU states:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] budeone:
This will be the whole do you shut off your computer or keep it on debate.

I like to do a full wipe from the start. Micky does update quite a bit more often than most devs so I do upgrade sometimes without a full wipe..

My rule of thumb is if you have 15 min.. wipe and install.. Its preference more than a hard fast rule one way or the other..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crzycrkr:
+1. Its pretty generally accepted that a full wipe is the best route with any and every ROM. Always dirty flash at your own risk
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
@ mswlogo if you read the OP, MIKEY clearly RECOMMENDS a full wipe, but it's not REQUIRED.

Your 2nd quote was already solved by updating TWRP. Had nothing to do with the sdcard.

But, you are correct on your 3rd quote.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

I think some people get "recommended" and "required" confused.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Sure sounds like it was sticking at boot. Try setting the script to 7, run quadrant or any other stress test and then check in cpu spy or better battery stats if the processor went above 1.5 ghz.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tbonanno231:
Nice work Mikey! Great updated feature set. Definitely new major version-worthy...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oespinoza83:
Dirty flashed to 3.0. No problems so far. But then again, I have yet to dip into the OC'ing world with this ROM.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SRQ Rick:
I read the OP and I don't understand why you would say mikey "CLEARLY RECOMMENDS" a full wipe. It is pretty clear to me he suggests trying a dirty flash first and only a "full wipe" if you have problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
You are on a custom kernel, we are all talking about the stock kernel.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zaaye:
So custom kernels are a go for this rom?

I have been away for 50 pages or so
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JMat76:
Hey Mike, not sure if this is supposed to be this way but if you are on the phone dial screen and half press camera button for google now, it brings up a quick dial screen instead of google now. And on a phone call screen it brings up contacts instead off google now. I am on meanrom 3.0.

SOD Troubleshooting

I'm running v2.7 and I've been getting a lot of SODs lately. Fortunately, ADB still works after a SOD, so I can troubleshoot the problem, but I'm not sure how. I read in another forum that the output of "adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > C:/result.txt" might give some clues, so I've done that and attached the file as a .zip. However, I'm not sure what to look for in this file. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to further troubleshoot this problem. I am running the 1.22.651.3 firmware, and will upgrade to MeanROM v3.0 to see how that affects the SODs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Nygel:
did you perform a lean or dirty flash procedure?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
No, not unless u flash all the way back to meanrom 1.3. That is the last version of meanrom to be on the old base which is what all current custom kernels are for. HTC probably does this to us as their little joke. The stock kernel works very well.

Swyped from my eVo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
It doesn't work any differently now than it did before. The "problem" only started when people started using the wrong tools to check CPU frequency. If you flash the 1.7 or 1.8 OC zip that comes with MeanROM, your phone is overclocked to that frequency! Here's the problem. The insmod method of overclocking is a hack. It adds an additional frequency to the list of possible frequencies, but it does not change (and cannot change) everything that needs to be changed in order for that frequency to be "official". It just hacks the kernel so that the CPU clock is driven up to a higher frequency. For example, go into System Tuner, click CPU and sit there and watch for a while. It's obvious that the CPU is clocking up to 1.7 (or 1.8 based on what you flashed) because you can see the real time reporting and it'll jump up to 1.7 or 1.8. Now click "Times". See how the time-in-state only reports up to 1.512? That's because the time-in-state tables cannot be updated with the newly added frequency. Simply put, some reporting tools are looking in places where they can't see the new frequency but it IS there! You can easily tell that it is if you run AnTuTu without the overclocking, then flash overclocking, and run AnTuTu afterward. Your score will increase, proving that it is actually using the higher frequency. You can't do that with Quadrant: it's too inconsistent between runs.

Also, the only instructions anyone should be using are the ones in post 2. If you try to manually diddle this stuff you're likely going to get it wrong. The proper script has to be run that not only adds the new frequency, but also updates thermald so that the new OC frequency is in the thermald config. Simply put, if you flash MeanROM and then flash either the 1.7 or 1.8 flash in the MeanROM-ICS folder, you will get OC to that frequency and it sticks every time. I definitely wouldn't use a "System Information" tab in a poorly written benchmark tool as proof. Just use System Tuner and click "CPU". If you see short bursts up to your OC frequency, it's definitely working.

That sounds like HTC's ongoing issue with supporting certain routers. Their last update helped, but did not completely fix the problem. If that's happening to you, my thought is that you may be one of the unlucky ones to have a router that it doesn't like. Some have fixed the problem with checking "best wifi performance", others by turning off the 5 Ghz radio and only turning on the 2.4. Or some combination. But it's hit or miss.

That's as designed: it's just performing whatever task the search key would do in those situations... because a half press of the camera button IS the search key now!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] edgarzonjr:
I can't believe it- I finally got around to flashing this ROM and it won't flash on my phone. All others are just fine and flash nicely, but this one fails or just restarts TWRP. I re-downloaded the ROM and still nothing. Had to go back to Super LTE. I may try this ROM again when it's more stable. Sounds like a good one though, just shame I can't try it. Who knows... maybe it's just my phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] budeone:
Did you clean out whole system before trying to use this rom?

What version of twrp are using>?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reynoldsrobbie:
What version of TWRP?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jizital:
Yes it just keeps trying to connect and just wont connect until i do airplane mode on and off. I didnt have any issues with it before.

I'm gonna try to go back to an earlier build where i knew it worked and see if it is still messed up for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
I'm quite happy with the stock speed. Is all the OCing making the phone that much faster, in relation to the added stress on the phone and the decrease of battery life?

I think once we get project butter on this phone, it will be a sight to see; and use.

Mikey,

I've downloaded the android file host to my phone 3 times. All 3 have been bad according to Hashdroid. And, the Dev-host link is slow as hell. Any help would be appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsisson:
Wow, 3.0 is working great for me. I was having battery problems since 2.6 - maps were using as much juice as screen without me using maps. I disabled Maps and that helped but still worse than 2.6. With 3.0 no more mysterious maps battery drain and battery life seems to be back to 2.6 levels for me, thanks.

Some people previously mentioned Bluetooth streaming problems, played for a second and stopped for a second and then played again. I have this same problem - nothing to do with meanrom! Had problem before rooted. Another person posted a reply that said they found solution but there were some typos that kept the post from making sense. Something to do with turning speakerphone on. Anyway, if anyone knows a solution to Bluetooth streaming stuttering problem I would love to hear it. Also would like to know if most people have no problem streaming Bluetooth media in their cars so then I would assume I have a hardware problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dakidd516:
Loving 3.0 but I noticed I can no longer take pictures by pressing my Bluetooth button from my earpiece....not sure if it got broken....maybe you could look into it

Edit: it works...don't know what happen...it previously was starting voice dialer while in camera...guess its the timing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] seewhyphotos:
I'm going to let it download, as I just received the OTA update. I installed 3.0 this morning, and it's been real nice.

I've set the O/C parameters to run at 1.728, but it's still only reporting 1.512.

Is this something that I need a different Kernel to enable?

I really like the 3.0 ROM. It's snappy, and seems to work well so far.

Thanks for a great piece of work! :good:

Read what mikeyxda posted a page back about OC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
PLEASE IGNORE TONIGHTS OTA UPDATE NOTIFICATIONS

You guys will get an OTA update message in your notifications from tonight. Just ignore it. I'm still working out the kinks in the OTA updater app and website entries. Turns out every time you touch anything on the website account, even changing the text ROM name (which should not be a key field), it sends an OTA update notice even though the ROM, MD5, ROM ID, and ROM Date never changed.

Looks like there's a bug in the OTA Updater app where they specify that "ROM version" should be "human readable ROM number/name" but if you use spaces, i.e. "MeanROM ICS 3.0", it causes the app to always say an update is available. So that's what is causing the app to proclaim that MeanROM ICS 3.0 is an update to MeanROM ICS 3.0 even though I filled out the info properly. As expected, this will take a couple rounds to get smooth but I'm confident that between their updates and my avoiding known potholes, it'll be a smooth update process by 3.1 or 3.2.

Not sure what you mean. WiFi Tether is working great for me. Using it right now to type this. It sounds from the above like you are using WiFi Tether to try to get native hotspot to work? That doesn't make sense. The two are separate. Just use WiFi Tether by itself.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nite2k:
Hi Mike,

No I was using the two separately. Both didn't work for me. I don't know what the problem is. I will wait for your 0.6 and do a factory reset. Hopefully this will flush all settings and I can try again.

In the meantime FoxFi works great.

Keep up the great work Mikey, another donation just sent your way!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Thank you! Always appreciate the donations!

I checked this more thoroughly than I have in the past. I set up my Live.com account on exchange. I don't normally use that account but did it just to test. As soon as I set up the account, I get a message like "sync is having problems... it will be back later". Is that what you're getting? I replaced my modified Mail.apk with the completely stock one and it does the same thing so I'm confident it's not ROM specific. I took a quick look at the code in that section and didn't see anything obvious so I'm going to wait for HTC to fix it as I don't have time to wade through the smali on that one. Since I suspect all ROM's have the same problem, if anyone hears of a fix, just let me know and I'll look.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
Yeah that is the error I think we are all getting. Weird thing is it works when I flash stock or Fresh and others have said it worked on Charmeleon and Flex's. I also tried it on ClassicJewel but it wouldn't work. I just started using a 3rd party mail app (Enhanced Email) and it is working okay even as exchange accts. Not sure what it might be.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
I would agree with this 100% - a workaround such as this shouldn't be the default setting on any ROM.

That being said, I've had this going on my phone (using htc_jewel instead of the Galaxy Nexus settings) for about a week now and haven't had any problems with any apps (including Google Wallet). Wallet seems to just think "Hey, you got a new phone, I'll add that phone to your account now." I've had it working under stock settigns (right after I bought the phone), Nexus settings, and htc_jewel settings with no problems.
