Hi Mike Awesome Rom dude! My About screen doesn't give you cred though or say what version of Mean Rom I'm on. It has the previous Rom I flashed. How do I change this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
To anyone who a SDCard installed. Are you able to mount it from a PC? I can mount the internal memory (via dual mount), but I tried on several PC's to mount the SDCard without any luck. The system desn't even acknowledge that the phone was plugged into the PC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
You would need to do a full wipe(data, cache, dalvik cache) before flashing this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] budeone:
yea, go into recovery. (twrp) and find mount.

then click the using external sd card If you are plugged in at the time to your computer it will find it right away.

Hotmail

Was the Hotmail synching issue fixed in this update? OR do we have to use the alternate settings posted earlier?

Thanks,
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
That is fine if I'm in recovery. On the stock ROM I was able to mount the internal memory via dual mount, and using the OS to mount the actual SDCard. With this ROM none of the PC's acknowledge that the phone was even connected. Though with Dual Mount I can mount the internal memory, and use ADB. I have a 64GB SDCard installed, and sometimes have to move large files. Kind of a drag to move it to internal memory then transfer it from there.

Hey Mike any plans of adding Sense 4.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Any thoughts on the direction to swipe off the recent apps? The ice cream version that moves horizontally, seems cleaner than HTCs vertical, 1 page per app.

Just food for thought.

Anyway, ahh man mickey I wanna try the new update but I've gone so longbeing on viper ! Reflashing is painful ugh I Thom I might do it just cause u were my first Rom :P
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treIII:
can we still use the script through root explore in order to overclock
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Active_Matrix:
Ok all shoot me if u must, but do we have to do a clean install? Or can I flash over?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
As I have yet to play with the PERFORMANCE_OR_BATTERY setting, I was wondering if anyone has seen a dramatic change either way.

Is the goal to tie this ROM to the kernel discussed, or are we sticking with stock for now?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] murphdsurf:
Wow!! 2.8 Flys as in supersonic! Thank you Mike for all your hard work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
Well he didn't say that the script was removed, so I believe u can but wait til he answers :P

---------- Post added at 04:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 AM ----------

You should be able to flash over, but beware if something gets messed up it may be caused by doing a dirty flash

I changed to battery and seemed like i got worse battery life so I changed back to performance which is default.

Okay well I did not see where that was posted, and just created a reply so please forgive me for not going through every page to find this. There are at least 10~15 new pages that get created when I check up on this ROM thread. It's not like I created a new thread or anything of that sort.

Can someone please verify that the latest version of Google Now is 392829? I had it disabled before the rom update.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
On 2.7, I changed mine to Battery, OC'ed to 1.8 and put my voltage to Under. I've been off the charger since 11am and I just hit 77%. I sent a few texts, went online for a bit and made 3 phone calls( each were for about 10 minutes).

Update: I didn't think this rom could get any better but WOW. 2.8 is a BEAST!!! Great work as usual Mikey
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Its the stock kernel, enoch kernel isn't based on 1.22 so that's why we were having issues with it. I just flashed to 2.8 so I haven't gotten a chance to see about the battery/performance setting nor over clicking to 1.8. Either way battery will be iffy for about a day until it settles in

Oh dear sweet bajesus, please tell me there's a way to KILL the damn screen off when sms arrives?! Couldn't find a zip to turn it off...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
I've disabled the stock sms notification and downloaded sms popup. It actually pops up a notification, unlike stock. Best of all its free. I just tested a text, and the screen did clear and phone went to sleep.

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------

Are you using full stock settings with that quadrant score? Mine clocked in at roughly 5k

** Just saw you ran a 1.8 OC flash. Are you stable with that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Seechay:
Is there anyway to add in JB transitions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cherylbaker:
Is there anything other than these items different .. I hear everyone going on about how much faster this version is but I see nothing here. I have no interest in Google now, no interest in overclocking and I certainly do not want my screen to come on every time I get a text message.. so I see no reason to upgrade? Unless of course there is something done to make this version faster.. I am still on 2.6 cause of the problems people seemed to have with 2.7...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gzbrambila:
Passing through Atlanta - 4G on. Downloading 2.8 was awesome. Sadly lasted just a moment. Hurry up Sprint!

Thats why I am passing on this update. He changes so many things its cool. But you don't have to update each time. His change log is very clear so people know whats changing.

+1 Should we no longer use the script and just use the oc zips? If we do use the oc zips can we still mess with over, normal, under for voltage or stick with the settings from the oc zips?

Anyone else having problems with apps not auto-updating? I'm on a clean install of 2.8.

Is there a trick to get WiFi or USB tethering working on this ROM? Neither work for me. With WiFi it doesn't seem to broadcast the SSID. And with USB tether it never finds the drivers on the computer...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Have set it up right? Generic ICS phone, MSS Clamping, and routing fix have to be checked in Wifi Tether app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thenags:
That worked. Still can't get USB working, but I guess if WiFi works then I don't need USB.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Which usb tethet app are you using?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
Sooooo......Is it possible to disable this feature???? Don't want to bother flashing if one is not able to disable the mms/sms from popping up automatically....:confused:

Word......
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leerage:
I don't think there is any way to disable this short of Mike supplying a flashable zip. The mod was done with a smali edit.

I might of missed this but should we just use the oc script and leave it or should we be using a oc app such as setcpu etc..seems I can only get the 6k quad scores if I use setcpu and max it out ..getting like 5400 with just the script ..

bootloops at 1.7oc after 2.8 update

My phone is no longer stable at 1.7oc after 2.8 update. I dirty flashed 2.8 with stock speeds and it worked fine as usual. Then apply 1.7 overclock zip and apps are crashing like crazy until phone reboots. 1.7oc is what i have always ran my phone at. I had to do a nanroid restore to get my phone back to normal at with meanRom 2.7
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
You cant use Fast Charge until there is a custom kernel that supports it. Its listed there so when kernel is available, you can enable it if you so choose. Thats my guess anyways.....

Word....

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

Maybe the "Dirty Flash" was the cause??????

OP States if you have issues after a dirty flash, do a COMPLETE wipe etc....and re flash the rom........:eek:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
My phone seemed to have a partial Meltdown.

I have factory reset it around 2.2 and Dirty Flashed since then.

I had 2.2-2.4 for a while and didn't put on 2.5 or 2.6 until 2.7 came along with google now.

So I put 2.7 on (it has not been good since).

Google Now was just aweful and I could not get it to not default once I defaulted it for voice searching.

So I dirty flashed 2.4 back and all seemed ok for now.

Then I figured I might as well flash up to 2.6 (just before Google Now) and that seemed ok.

Then I went to pickup my phone and it would not turn. Had to hold power to reboot.

Then I saw 2.8 with Google Now Fix and dirty flashed that.

I did not default google now yet.

Went to go pick it up again and it would not power on. Had to hold power to reboot.

Then went into Recovery (from the booted phone) to flash 2.4 back again.

TWRP Hung. Hold power to reboot.

Entered Recovery from Bootloader and my Internal SD Card (the 10GB one) was wiped.

I don't overclock.

I don't flash any Mods.

I've put 2.4 on again and we'll see how it goes.

I admit it could be hardware or need factory reset again.

But in case there is a problem I thought I'd share so we can compare notes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twe90kid:
2.8 seems good
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bntran02:
Just tried full wipe before install. Installing 2.8 works fine. Things go south once I flash the 1.7oc zip.

I guess i'm back to meanROM 2.7 unless i wanna go 2.8 without oc
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
What is your actual screen on time? The fact that it used 50% of the battery loss isn't really all the helpful but looks like some great potential.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] compneo:
deleted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
Have you tried to manually OC from the init file instead of flashing the OC zip????
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
We still don't have a kernel that supports it that works on our 1.22 base, so no. Hopefully HTC will release source soon and we can get some working 1.22 kernels.

Right now, you can't flash directly from 1.7 to 1.8. If you flashed 1.7 first, you have to flash overclock-off.zip first and then the 1.8 overclock. I'll fix that in 2.9.

Not every phone likes the same voltages. Try the "OVER" voltage using the instructions in post 3. The over voltage might work better for you if it worked before and doesn't now.

On the SMS-screen-on, I'll probably make it off by default and give a flash to turn it on in 2.9. I thought it was nice at first (partly because older sense versions had screen-on with incoming SMS) but the more I use it, the less I like it.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Exclusive256:
I'm having trouble installing 2.8.. Every time I try to flash it, I keep getting an error message and failed installation.. I have the latest version of twrp and I've done a complete wipe before every flash attempt... Can't figure out what's wrong.. I also had the same problem with 2.7

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BAttitude7689:
just flashed v2.8 and i STILL can not snap a photo with my physical camera button... I know the button works because when I'm not in my camera app ... a half press activate Google Now and a long press lets me choose if I wanna open google search or voice actions...

I CAN NOT burst shoot, and I CAN NOT just take a regular picture using the camera button.. Mikey do you you have anything possible issues.. just flashed 2.8 and i did a clean install and wiped cache,dalvik,system, and factory reset
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treIII:
Hey mike just like to say thanks for another great version of your rom. Everything works great for me. I ALWAYS do a full wipe manually through twrp. I waste no time wondering if a dirty flash is going to give me any problems. I figured out how to get the oc to stick also. After installing busy box if the oc doesn't stick just rerun busy box again once I have used your init post boot script. Fixes it for me immediately. Again thanks for the rom.if it wasn't an upgrade to the stock rom people wouldn't be in this forum.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Now that I say that, I'm walking by my office door when I hear the SMS notification. I look across the room and see my friends picture on the screen: I've been waiting for a reply from him. I walk in, swipe to unlock, and read. Not only could I tell who was calling but it saved me a press of the power button which I know as much as I fuss with this phone, I'm eventually going to wear out. So in 2.9, I've made screen-on the default but I include the attached ZIP to turn it off. You can use it now if you want.

Working here. Are you installing any add-ons that might break it? Also, are you aware that those are two physically different buttons? A half press is actually a separate button from full press (shutter button) so it's possible to have the shutter button broken and the half press still work!

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Gravy Train:
I hate to bring this topic back up but for anyone using the stock HTC Mail app, this is one glaring issue that remains with the EVO LTE:

http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/90823

http://community.sprint.com/baw/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-428436-32043/Screenshot+1.png

For those of us with EAS and IMAP accounts on the stock Mail app, HTML messages are ALWAYS greeted with this far-too-large font size and banner toggle to "Display Images" that does NOT offer a "remember" setting.

HTC added pinch-to-zoom controls in the Mail and SMS applets with a user setting to default the font size. HTML messages override this setting and even the smallest view setting is too large in my mind.

There's a thread on this in the Q&A Forum but I have yet to see a ROM address this issue. It still remains in MeanROM and I hope HTC is working to fix this in their Sense 4.1 release.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] robbo10:
Works for me, Thanks!! I just don't like everybody around me knowing my business when my phone is laying somewhere unattended. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BAttitude7689:
I am not installing any add-ons. So on my home screen doing a half press i get google now.. if i hold that a little longer i get the option to open google search or whatever else... are you saying that all 1 button and when i go to my camera app a half press or a long press and i get nothing... that is another button all together?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treIII:
Also I'm not sure this is relevant. But when I overclock, if I undervolt my data speed increases substantially. This I an positive of. I've ran many tests to make sure before I posted this.I also know there are those who will say not possible, but I'm positive. Without undervolting I average 600 down 150 up. When undervolted while overclocked I average 12-1600 down, 600 up. I've done the same test every day same place at home at the same time to see if it was coincidence. I can't explain it, but its a fact. I've went as far as trying to watch a you tube video both ways to see if speedtest was wrong.same video buffers without undervolt. Accelerates while undervolted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
Is it possible to include the old Battery Icon as a flash zip in MeanROM-ICS folder.

There is just something I prefer about the old one. Partly because you just get used to things. I updated my wifes EVO 3D and saw the old Icon and almost teared up (kidding :) ) but I thought ooh I like that old meter.

I don't want to flash something not "Approved" and muck something up. It's not a biggy. But if it was easy to provide it would be great.

Also for some reason I can't get Email to make sound on Notify. It Vibrates and Blinks light but no sound. I've checked my Notify sound and Settings in email.

I'm running 2.4 right now.

I should also note that I posted a note a while back on my Sister running MeanROM 2.2 on the LTE and losing Icons on the page to left of the Main home page.

I had her flash Rosie-Stock-4-X-4.zip and her problem is fixed.

I think something is not right with the Rosie Mod's and only the way she uses it, she seems to stumble into a glitch with it. I only have 3 Icons on the page to the left. Full on Home Page and 8 Icons to the right. Everything else is empty. So I don't exactly stress it. And I only have the Weather Clock for Widgets.

So far since putting MeanROM 2.4 back on my phone it has been stable again.

Anyone know how to format the internal storage. I saw the option in the Storage settings but it sounded like it was gonna do a lot more than format the internal SD card.

I've heard you can maybe do it from TWRP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Just a suggestion, but have you tried using superwipe? There maybe some clutter in a partition that is causing problems.

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

That's what I thought, but I had never noticed that it was in there.

Mike,

I've never messed with OV/UV. If I don't OC, but UV, would that help to conserve some battery life?

Teach me Master Yoda.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Exclusive256:
Anyone..?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
No, you said you could not take a picture with the shutter button. Taking a picture requires a full press of the camera button: you cannot take a picture with a half press. So if you can't take a picture with the camera shutter button, it's possible that the full press button is broken but the half press button is working. I'd think it is more likely that something else is going on but I just wanted to point out that it's possible for the full press button (take picture) to be broken while the half press button (google now and searches) works fine.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
What version of TWRP are you using? You may need to upgrade to v2.2.1. TWRP 2.1.8 hasn't been playing well with MR v2.7.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
phone don't like 2.8 at all. Phone freaks out at oc. At these new voltages, maybe my phone doesn't like them. Flashed many times, guess I'll go back to 2.7 which is very kick ass.

edit: phone for voltages never liked OVER before, I always ran UNDER, but OVER is the only way to run oc now. Phone freaks any other way, and going to 1.7 seems most stable. If I go to 1.8 things crash here and there. If anyone else has oc problems, try the other voltage settings that ur phone didn't like before and they might work. Probably not going to do a full restore and hope 2.9 drops to fix any problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Exclusive256:
Yea I did upgrade to 2.2.1 and I've done full wipes before any attempts.. All the installations still fail
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
Mike, I know i've only been on this forum a couple days and don't have much say but how hard is it to add an option to sort text messages by time/date? I don't know about you or anyone else, but at least a couple times a week i get a text late to my phone but it has the time stamp from minutes before. It makes it a pain to read though the long messages when they come in out of order. Especially if someone sends me a long text that is broken up followed by a short one. I usually get part of the long first, then the short one, then the rest of the long. There is a sort option to sort by date or name in the contact list but nothing to sort once inside.

Thanks!

Have you tried downloading the update again? My first 2 downloads were bad. The 3rd time worked perfectly. Not that this is a fix or anything, but the first 2 times I downloaded I used chrome, the last time was with FireFox. I don't know why it would make a difference, but that is what I experienced. It's worth a try to download again, because v2.8 is a beast so far and i have not even done any OC or anything yet except increase my SD Card read ahead speed.

Do you have a link to the update by any chance? I downloaded and installed the 2.2.1 through goomanager. Also i have a custom boot animation and the elegance theme on my current MeanRom.. would they interfere with me trying to install 2.8?

The end of the flashing ROM failed because the folder "scard2" was not existed.

Google TWRP 2.2.1 and look for TeamWin's website. Select HTC EVO 4G LTE. That will take you to the downloads. If you're S-off, use the PJ75IMG.zip. If S-on you have to use the recovery flashable zip.
