Well so far on .7 today:)

Hey Mike,

I was wondering if you could get rid of the lowbattery.ogg? I've tried to replace it with a silent mp3 I got on Zedge which worked on your 3.6 rom, but sense 4.0 keeps that annoying sound after I removed it, replaced it, and renamed the silent mp3 to lowbattery.ogg. No rush, I'm just hoping that you can look into it. For anyone trying to find the ogg it is in system/media/audio/ui.

This is the second ROM now that I've flashed, and had no mobile data... I wipe everything twice typically just to be safe, including system (I know some people forget that occasionally). I guess I just need to flash again? Everything else works perfectly! It's so odd.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
just open up Rom zip with 7zip delete the apps you don't want and close it up and flash.

a new tool out: UniFlash thread on xda

it is a tool for removing unwanted bloat and backing up what you do want

Rom cleaner is God like. You type in a user config text file what apps you want removed and supports wildcards. I flash it after every meanrom ota so it automatically removes the crap I would normally have to do manually.

It may be in the OP but it definitely was not mentioned via OTA app, which gave me the same error.

The method to flash via ota app is the same, as I'm sure you now know. The op is where you should always refer to prior to updating if you aren't caught up with what's being discussed in the last 10-20 pages. The ota app wasn't created by Mike so i doubt he can have it mentioned within the app

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ngocdao:
with how fast these updates are released, and most often, include very very small changes... unless the version jumps up by a whole number.. one would think wipe+flash, like the 20~ other releases, would be enough. the op is quite a read on mobile. it ain't like it was on the first line in large red text. not blaming anyone, and didn't know that about the OTA app... just didn't understand the purpose of the OTA app if one has to go back to OP to read new install instructions.. then go back to OTA app to download.. when i could just click the DL link in the OP... no offense intended to you or the dev. the rom is now freaking amazing, ... just frustrated with "read the OP" reply that probably makes up 1/2 of XDA post counts, and becomes an eyesore when you actually try to search a thread for help and 1/2 of the results are from people quoting the problem and replying "read the OP" -- yours had the answer though, so don't feel like i'm implying you.

since the question has already been asked,

it's just as easy for one person to answer the question, and it be done

(total of 2 posts with civility),

as compared to several just saying search and read.

so what i've done at times is answer the question,

and if it's a no brainer - mention or show how easy search,

or reaching the OP, or perusing the last 5 pages or so

would have answered it.

it would be great, if each post with a question was indexed,

so you could include in answer & response:

that question was asked in posts #614 # 682 #684 etc

although i do have to admit, opening and closing the links

that show up in thread search, is a PITA, but hey, that's life !

i'm afraid to ask - it's a dumb question ........ there's no such thing as a dumb question

where is post #3 ? .............. now THAT is a dumb question !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Lots of good feedback on ROM Cleaner even though I haven't used it. Also, if you're familiar with how to create simple flash scripts, you could create a flashable ZIP that has all the commands in it to delete the apps you don't want.

I'm still working on tweaking memory a little better with each version so the dialer doesn't show on boot after flashing something. As I said previously, when you flash something that clears dalvik/cache and it has to be rebuilt on startup (when you see "Android is upgrading"), there is so much in memory that the OS sets the launcher aside while that is happening and when that happens, Phone.apk loads afterward and sits on top. So the desktop doesn't actually get built until you press home and it wakes up com.htc.launcher. All ROMs (even stock) are prone to it, depending on how many/what apps you have installed but with us having Google Now and some other goodies, the rebuilding of dalvik and cache seems to push it over the top sometimes. As also mentioned, this should really only happen the first boot after flashing something and MAYBE one more after that.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys... after some mis steps, black screens, and boot loops, I was able to get 3.4 back on my phone last night. Wifi was shutting down do that known issue with the kernel, so I went backwards to 3.4. I understand that I can use the "flash gui" tool to get back up to last nights 3.9, and I may do that later, but after all the crap I went through to get the damn thing to work, I think I am going to just stick with 3.4. Quadrant scores, while not as high as they were on 3.8, are still higher than the One X, and battery life is still around 20 hours with moderate use... I sure do miss S=off though, as that would make a lot of things much easier... thanks again for the suggestions yesterday!

Is anyone else's phone constantly syncing? Or at least having the arrows constantly spinning? Mine won't go away. I've done clean and dirty installs and it's still the same.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsteinmann:
Just use "flash image gui" and point it to 3.9 no need to extract the boot img, the program does that automatically then reboot to recovery and flash 3.9.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
For those people without a Downloads app in your App Drawer (you're also likely missing TuneIn Radio, Polaris Office and a few others):

These applications are hidden by default (I don't know why) in the Sense launcher.

If you remove the "applications_hide" section from /system/customize/MNS/default.xml prior to flashing, these apps will appear. You'll also be able to see the full list of apps that are hidden (if you want some to stay hidden, just remove the ones you want to see - I just remove the whole section).

Or maybe Mikey can do this in the next update?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpenrod23:
From the OP, you are referencing this, correct?

"MeanROM ICS uses "sticky" settings that will survive dirty wipes/installation of new versions meaning you can make these changes once and they'll stick through dirty installs when you update. We do this by creating a file called /data/MeanROM.opt. The file should be a text file and it should have permissions rwxr-xr-x (755). You can create the file in notepad on your computer and use Root Explorer or the included ES File Explorer to put the file in your /data directory on your phone and set the permissions."

I have not used this myself, I have always just edited the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file after a dirty flash. Perhaps someone smarter than I (Mikey?) can speak to this.

Sorry I can't be of more assistance but I would be interested in knowing if/when you receive an answer.
