It says it only works for phones that have not had the exploit patched. AKA the original hboot. Any new hboots have had the exploit patched so this isn't going to work for very many people.

I always figured it was just what the OS defaults to when the launcher isn't running and/or when all else fails. Seems obvious, if all else fails, dialer. It is a phone after all. What's to fix? I'm sure I've seen that on every rom from the og evo to now at random times either during boot or when I manage to crash the launcher or deliberately kill it or switching between different launcher apps etc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
After more tracing, I found what appears to be HtcContacts.apk sending a system pause message which is causing the system to pause on the dialer. Every time I got the dialer on boot, there was an EVENT_ON_PAUSED_MESSAGE coming out of HtcContacts, followed by the carrousel stopping. Still looking into it. When the phone boots normally, that message is not there. For 4.1, I replaced HtcContacts.apk with the one from the One X stock ROM (Sense 4.1). That seemed to help a lot, but not solve it completely... I'm still looking.

Hey I changed to a 4*5 rosie after flashing 4.1 it went back to 4*4 what means have of my folders disappeared..... Would it not make more sense to have 4*5 as standard and 4*4 optional since you won't get anything deleted if you go from 4*5 to 4*4 rosie, but the other way you do...

Sent from my EVO LTE Form tapa talk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
The 4x5 is not working correctly that is why it is not the default. When Mikey gets the glitching out it will probably be the default. Also, if you install the 4x5 rosie again, your folders should reappear.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Nygel:
thats why you always do a nand backup before doing silly stuff, and if you read over since the new base you would know that the 4x5 rosie is not fully functional on MEANRom.

A few questions...

1. Can someone explain why I just did a 3x system formats 3x cash format and 3x Delv cash format and then loaded 4*1 but it still flashed like a dirty flash? I did not have to reload anything at all...

2. Where is the menu button?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lostsoul77:
Anyone have an issue with WiFi radio being stuck in a “turning off" state? Mine is stuck like this. Enabling and then disabling airplane mode doesn't help, only a reboot. I was originally on 3.9 and took the 4.1 ota (only had it wipe cache and not data)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
Mikey I had the volume issue after first boot but all I did was readjust the volume settings and havent had the issue since last night
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huckyourmeat:
That happened to me on 3.9. Stuck like that for about a half a day until I decided to flash 4.1. Didn't have a chance to troubleshoot it before the upgrade, but it hasn't happened to me since I did the upgrade to 4.1.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
1. Because you didn't format /data partition.

2. You can remap the recent apps button for the menu in the settings menu.

That's post #2, the changelog. Not the OP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Everybody take a look at the DOWNLOADS section of the OP. There may be a lil something new there for ya. ;)

Decided to go with nightlies when adding new features. Then I'll work the nightlies until all issues are wrung out WRT the new features and that will then become the next stable release. I'm thinking a few nightlies for each stable release with maybe 1 (or rarely 2) stable releases per week. v4.1.1 is on there now: fixes low notification volume and I think completely eliminates the dialer on boot: need some testers to report back on that.

Enjoy,

Mike

Really need a few people who are able to reproduce the dialer-on-boot to try 4.1.1 from the nightlies (see download section of OP). I think I fixed it for good. If so, we'll have the only ROM for the ELTE that will never boot to the dialer. But I can't declare victory until I get multiple people who could reproduce it before saying "I can't make it happen on 4.1.1 any more".

Dollars to donuts there's a Sprint network problem in your area. Usually that's what that means.

Thanks,

Bluetooth noise..

Is anybody getting a popping, static sound on their bluetooth connections? It almost sounds like pop-corn or hail falling.

See my spec's below in my sig.. Headset works on other bluetooth connections without the background noise.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I think you should try 4.1.1. I took out my sound mods that I made to the framework and went back to the 2.13 goods. Turns out that was causing the low notification volume and we don't need those mods for the Beats/sound enhancer stuff anyway.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] seewhyphotos:
Thanks Mike.. I might try that.. Is that something that will make it into 4.2? I just tested and it's only on phone calls, not when music is playing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] usopen:
Mine boots to dialer every time Mikey so I will test this out for you. Just so you know, you don't have to keep racking your brain on that one, it really is no big deal but I know you like your work to be as close to perfect as possible and we are grateful for it, just don't want you to kill yourself over it. No one should ever complain of this especially when Jelly Bean Roms and all of them for this device at this point have the phone force close error upon boot several times, and that doesn't seem to bother anyone either, which it shouldn't. Thanks again and will report back after flashing 4.1.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cherylbaker:
Well after reading the posts it does not seem to be working for anyone.. it says it uses some universal exploit.. I dunno but I highly doubt it will let you flash a new hboot.. if it could be could flash the 1.12 and than s off ourselves but I highly doubt that is the case..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
I'm assuming you are wanting testers that don't flash mods/themes on top of the rom?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] seewhyphotos:
Good question... What will happen if I dirty flash over my BlueBerry Themed 4.1? Will I end up with a partially themed install?

That could present problems.. Sounds like time for a full wipe, install of 4.1.1 without the Theme...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
It's been my experience it will remove most of your theming. Easily fixed by re-flashing the theme zip.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Guitarified:
I've had this issue on this phone running stock and this ROM and I had it on every ROM I ran on my OG EVO too. I chalked it up to my signal but I could be wrong. Will try 4.1.1 to see if it changes anything. I JUST did a clean install of 4.1. Of course. Think I'll dirty flash.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
So far no dialer on boot error on 4.1.1, I'll let you know if it pops up.

Hey Mikey I have a quick question,

What is it about this phone that has people losing 3G Data, Voice, SMS, or any combination when flashing between roms whether dirty or clean installs? I have been flashing since the Hero and I have never had a device with more troubles than this phone. I am actually on my second Evo LTE and I love the phone, but something is rather odd with this device at times. I have no idea if it is Software related or Hardware related, could you chime in on this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
I can't speak for Mikey. But, it seems the service issues (voice/data/sms/mms) are on the providers end. And, mostly related to LTE/NV tower upgrades.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
I got the dialer just about every reboot on 4.0 and 4.1, but have not got it on 4.1.1. I've only rebooted twice, but I unlocked the phone as soon as I saw the ring and did not get the dialer! Nice job Mikey!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
In apps, its apparently power + volume down now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
That's how it's always been for me, even before root, regardless of whether I was on the homescreen, or in an app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
Mikey, just curious, what was the fix you found for the dialer boot thing? And how did you find it lol? Random bugs are no fun.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
This is my last effort to fix it. I'm not really worried about it but I'm a perfectionist and it just irks me to see the dialer when I unlock the phone. Knowing that it happens at least occasionally on the stock ROM gives me even more incentive because if my ROM is cleaner and smoother than stock... that's what I'm shooting for. It's just a hangup I guess, but maybe a good one. It's the reason I don't put stuff in the ROM with known issues either, and why I had to wait until I could work out all the kinks with Google Now before I'd put that in. Some people like experimental ROM's with "Not Working" or "Known Bugs" sections because of the other benefits you get from them. I've never subscribed to that: no broke-ass stuff in my ROM's. ;) It's just because I want my ROM's to be daily drivers and not so much "experimental". That's also why when someone reports something like low notification volume, I'm on it like ugly on a monkey. Can't sleep at night if there's a bug. :D

Good question. The dialer-on-boot fix is actually a bandaid inside init.qcom.post_boot.sh though and that is very unlikely to be touched by themes and most mods. So you should be OK.

Yeah, sounds like the dialer-on-boot thing is a thing of the past now with 4.1.1. These other spurious issues like WiFi on/off problems, 3G, SMS sending issues, I really believe are not related to the ROM. I think they are caused by incompatibility with some routers (WiFi), Sprint's lousy network (3G and SMS issues), and possibly a few people who are flashing incompatible mods or are getting bad flashes (reboots and black screens). Some of the problems like one or two people getting a black screen or reboot, I have to just wait to see if any other info bubbles to the surface because I've never seen it nor can I repeat it. That's why I haven't replied to those: I have no info on them. One thing I have to do is keep warning people not to use ANY of the flashable zips from the old MeanROM 3.4 like the Rosies and such. I suspect issues like black screens or reboots are caused by things not flashing properly (bad downloads possibly) or people installing mods or themes that are incompatible. The new base is much more difficult to modify and I see a lot of people still pushing mods based on 1.22 (Sense 4.0/Android 4.0.3) stuff. That too can cause unknown/random issues.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
Ok, well this kind of sucks... :eek: I'm in UCCW trying to take screen shots of issues that I'm having and none of the ways described on how to take a screen shot are working.

Power + Home (normal) - puts phone to sleep

Power + volume down - brings up volume dialogue box on screen , turns down volume

Didn't just try one time and give up. I was messing with it for like 20 minutes and cannot get a screen shot.

**EDIT**

So yes, I am in UCCW trying to take screen shots of the issues with that app and on top of those issues adds the screen shot issue...meaning, I can in fact take screen shots in other apps, the problem is isolated to UCCW. i feel bad for this guy (vineetksirohi), ever since Google pulled it's weather api, that guys been trying to fix his app and features that worked perfectly and seems to still be having issues. Anyway, sorry for all the confusion on the screen shots. Mine is working out side of UCCW just fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I wanted to get clear confirmation that it was fixed before giving potentially the wrong answer. But since it looks like a few people who got it regularly cannot get it any more... I guess it's safe.

What I found (mostly from sniffing logcats and then digging through smali) was that the culprit is HtcContacts.apk. At times, it enters a paused state, even sending out system wide "pause" messages. While I think it's related to memory or timing (what is being loaded into memory when) and reducing the boot memory footprint helps, it never solves it completely. Randomly, it'll just pause and the launcher won't initialize until it is unpaused.

So my bandaid fix is to just kill the process on boot. It restarts almost immediately on its own so I've found no negative consequence (yet). You can go to your init.qcom.post_boot.sh or an init.d script and put in this line (I put it near the end after most of my tweaks, but before any "sleep" calls):

killall com.android.htccontacts

Of course, com.android.htccontacts is the process (package) name for HtcContacts. Once the process is killed, the paused process(es) resume and the desktop loads. So even if the boot gets frozen on the dialer, it is freed up when the process is killed and once it restarts at that point, things run smoothly. Bottom line: even if the problem does happen, you never see it.

You can actually see this in action if you're "lucky" enough to be able to get it to boot to the dialer. When you unlock the phone and it's sitting there on the dialer, you can do adb shell and then run the above command as SU, and BANG... the dialer disappears and the home screens load. Then if you do a ps right after that, you'll see that com.android.htccontacts restarted immediately on its own and is running fine now.

BTW, I did try to fix this "right" by modifying the smali in HtcContacts where the actual onPause was happening and I got some improvement but it had other side effects. As far as I can tell, the above fix has no adverse effects.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
I actually just tried mine and it worked fine doing it the Power + Home button way. Question: When you try it the Power + Home way, are you pressing and holding Power and then hitting the Home Icon? The only reason I ask is because if the phone goes to sleep it means you are just pressing the Power button and not holding it. If you press and hold it without hitting the Home button the Restart menu pops up. That's the only thing I could think of. If you're pressing and holding the Power button plus hitting the Home button at the same time you should be golden.
