MeAnrom is set by default to run 2048 ad cache, snoop w/o scheduler and on demand gov. To change any of these use no frills cpu and in settings click prevent other apps from changing settings. I would leave sd cache alone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
There are a couple of ways to do it... you can use system tuner, ROM Toolbox, ..etc for apps, but probably the best way is to use Mikeys instructions in post #3 to make a MeanROM.opt file and include it in there. If you go to \system\etc\init.qcom.post_boot.sh you can see the line for sd read ahead, copy and paste it in the MeanROM.opt that you create and paste it in there and change the default value to one that you want, save it and your good.

+1 ... nice milestone Mikey!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dmlavign:
Problem happened just a bit ago, I was able to get the phone responsive again once and I checked the task manager at that point, I had 68mb available. I went back to dolphin and it locked up hard. I had to force a reboot. After the reboot, I had 171 mb available before opening any apps. It dolphin is working good at the moment, I had the freezeup while navigating this thread. Hope this info helps. I am currently running meanrom 4.44.5 nightly.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cry Havoc:
Just upgraded to 4.5. My phone has never been this fast, this smooth, and the battery life is great so far. Everything works (thanks Titanium backup pro!) and I couldn't be happier. Props, Mikey.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] robbo10:
I'm on latest everything, OC 1.7, kang kong theme and Rom cleaner. Running beautifully! I've asked this before, I have tried numerous combinations of settings on the camera and I can get one out of ten, sharp photo. The rest are fuzzy, grainy basically bad pics. I believe it started with the newer version of the camera. I compare older pics with current, huge difference. This Rom it the bomb! Sadly the camera is just not working for me. Thanks for all you do Mikey!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Is that with the burst? All my pics I take individually come out clean but I haven't tried the fast burst
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
I for one wouldn't change it to 128, just leave it to 2048 or maybe raise it to 3072 but thats it. Mikeyxda's tweaks in the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file are there for a reason. He took a lot of time making the optimum configuration for both performance and battery life. Of course each phone is different, you can make your own adjustments(if you know what you are doing, of course). System tuner, No Frills, SetCPU were good, but they are going to override Mikey's tweaks. Like I say though to each's own. All three you can change governor, scheduler and sd card read ahead, They do so by adding a init.d script which runs after bootup. In my opinion, Flash the latest ROM (if you haven't already) Let it boot wait a few minutes and reboot. Flash the OC zip if you can and do the same reboot method. You will hear a few people say"Let the kernel and ROM settle in" and runs your bench tests, but don't compare your results with other people too much, every phone is different, use them to compare against your results.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
+1 ... don't screw yourself by lowering your read ahead. Let me ask you this ... what type of sdCard do you have, class and size.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
I didn't see if they stick or not, I don't change them. Interactive is the gov that will make your phone run the fastest. But the problem with that is I have got lots of reboots from this phone and the 3d from that. There are times that with a new base and kernel either phone will maybe handle interactive. I really wish I knew what was up with this. Otherwise just stick with on demand. Mikey put a lot of hard work into everything.

Yes this was what I discovered last weekend as well. Instead of turning java script off, put flash to on demand, and I've only had 1 lockup since than and I still get the full browsing experience.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
4.5.1 will be served soon. I backed out all of the multitasking tweaks and then added back only two: one needed for maintaining a recent app list of 16 and one that was causing tasks more than 30 minutes old to get killed. I also increased the minimum memory requirements which should result in everyone seeing more memory available, albeit at the expense of a few more tasks getting killed: hopefully only really old ones.

I think we got a little too greedy with the multitasking tweaks and judging by the reports of app lockups, browsing problems, etc. I think it's time to pull in the reins a little, else this beast gets away from us! 4.5.1 will be my first attempt to regain control since I think the multitasking tweaks in 4.5 let it run a little "wild".

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
I use rom toolbox to change the I/O scheduler, but anything like that works. the way to change the sd card speed is in the OP. Change it with root explorer by going to system/etc/ and changing to r/w at the top of the page. Then go long press and hold on the post boot file and select edit in file viewer. At the top of the file I think it is 2048, change that to 128.

Also yes my phone is loaded to the max. Which proves that that doesn't bog down your phone or lower your benchmark scores. Either does live wallpapers. Enjoy your phone.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Works better. Don't go by an sd card reader app. Feel how fast the phone is. How things load up. But anyways benchmarks should be higher. Many people have asked what u have, thinking a higher number is better. Well it isn't, and this is the setup I've had on the eVo, eVo 3d, and eVo 4g lte and have had best results with: I/O scheduler cfq, sd card speed 128

Side note: this setup has worked best over these 3 phones and about 6 different sd cards of different speeds.

After studying the pics, part of the problem is the background is in focus but the subject is not, but apparently I'm the only one with the issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
4.5.1 is in the nightlies and it should fix all issues with low memory.

P.S. I'm not seeing any problem at all with the camera. Every shot I take is razor sharp focus: much better than the stock camera. But I typically tap on the screen where I want it to focus and then take the shot with the on screen button. Try that: maybe that's how I'm getting such good photos. No joke the quality of these shots isn't far from my dSLR, except for a little more visible noise.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
I strongly disagree and think that lowering sd read ahead speed to 128 is the worse advice I've seen so far on this thread... 2048 minimum and 3072 optimal. I don't use and sd card reader app to determine the performance difference in playing music or movies from the sd card, only the performance it self justifies what I KNOW is correct.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
I'm reading all the a questions about the sd speeds. I'm just doing what works for me and I've spent weekends testing these things out. A workout and lifting are they same way, I just do what works for me, and others might not get the same results. Also I just think it was the luck of the draw with this phone. It was scoring a 5200 quadrant out of the box on launch day.

Swyped from my eVo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
Forget about quadrant scores... all they eqaute to is whipped cream with chocolate drizzle on vanilla ice cream. Drop a movie on your SD card and run at either read ahead speed and see the results for yourself. Put 10 songs on your SD card and try switching from song to song at either read ahead and are what happens. I'm sure you will see then that on a class 6 or higher SD card for this phone 2048 - 3072 will offer the best performance. On an Ultra SD card you can go even higher and have even better results.

I do have this card loaded with 11000 songs. In addition to a lot of other games. Music loads up fastest this way for me. I know it goes against how it's suppose to be but these settings work best for me. Also I'm sure the fact I have the mount points swapped is making things better for me. This phone was horrible and unusable until I started using that flashable the day it was made. This phone used to mount the sd card not even half the times the phone was booted up, google music was not reading the music correct, and apps I moved off the internal storage to make room for more apps were lost because HTC sent us **** that didn't work correct. now this phone is fast, fast, fast, everywhere on the phone.

Same here, its sprint not the rom.. Im so pissed off I'm thinking about switching carriers or devices right about now. I've been with the 1x symptoms for over 2 weeks and a fee days ago I COMPLETELY lost the ability to make or receive calls & texts. I was on the phone with a sprint tech and then goes what happened? Yup my damn phone dropped the call smh :what:

Is it really the switch to 4g causing this, am 15 minutes from Austin tx
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] buzzwyzr:
I've been having data problems the past few days as well.

When I called Sprint, they had me reset my data profile and reactivate the phone.

If you wish to try this, make sure you're in an area with good coverage before starting. Then open your dialer, dial ##72786#

When prompted for a password, enter your MSL (if you don't know it, DL MSL Reader from the Play Store) and press OK

On the next screen, press the menu button, then press reset.

You'll get a warning saying something like "This action will reset these values to factory state". Press OK and the phone will reboot.

Upon reboot, unlock your phone and let it sit at the homescreen for just a few seconds. A hands-free activation should begin on its own. Let it run through. It will the check for a PRL update as well as a firmware update. I usually let it check for the PRL but hit cancel once it starts the firmware update.

If all goes well you'll have your data back to normal. Update your profile afterwards just to be safe.

None of this will do anything to improve your data situation though if there is a tower outage in your area. If there ain't no data...there ain't no data. :)

*NOTE* If you perform the above actions in an area where coverage is spotty, you'll be left with a phone that is unable to make or receive calls or texts until you are able to run an activation. So do this at your own risk. I will say that this happened to me once. I rememdied it by connecting to WiFi then updating my profile. That gave me the ability to call and text again. Then I had to wait until I got into an area with goo data coverage before I ran the activation process again. After that, everything was back to normal.

Good luck!

I was just plating with the camera and it looks like it takes great pictures! But one thing I noticed is that right after you take the picture and review it it looks great then after a few seconds the auto brightness feature seems to kick in and the picture goes dim and it then looks not as crisp. Not sure what to do about this and or if this may be the problem folks are referring to when they say they look "fuzzy". Will flashing back the stock auto brightness fix this issue?

On another note I got this email from Sprint: Boost the battery on your HTC EVO(TM) 4G LTE Pretty good info!

Sorry about that, haven't been keeping up with the whole thread due to travels and missions.

I've observed that at the time where it gets really bad I have about 96mb or less free. After it freezes that way the phone buttons becomes unresponsive for about 2 min and then it just closes the apps, no Sense redraw, and my memory gets freed at about 277mb avg.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chewieez:
2 camera apps?

I'm sure this has been covered, and I apologize for rehashing if it has, but the XDA search function is not currently working for me.

The Camera app that loads when I press the hardware camera button has less on screen features and acts differently than the app that loads when I click on the Camera app from my homescreen. I have to assume this is by design but what is the motivation? Why are the apps different? Is this just the way the Sense 4.5 app is setup?

With the app that loads with the camera hardware button, there is no video record button and after each photo I have to pick "Check" or "Go Back". I can only take 1 photo at a time and then have to reload the app. I can't click on the photo to view right after I take the photo and I can't use Burst mode.

Is there any way to make the app that loads with the camera button the same as the app that loads from the homescreen icon?

Thanks!! (again sorry I couldn't search this huge thread. I imagine this has been covered, my apologizes)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] robbo10:
Just checked, mine loads the same app with all the features
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chewieez:
hmmm ok. That makes my situation even stranger. ;o) I remember having to choose "Camera" from a list of apps when I first hit the camera button to make it the default. Maybe something was strange there. I only had 3 options though... Camera, Pudding Camera and Vignette, so the choice seemed obvious.

I just fixed permission, cleared cache and dalvik cache and rebooted so I'll give it a shot now and see if it's still acting the same way.

---------- Post added at 03:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

After all of that, I cleared Data on the camera app, and I cleared defaults. I pushed the Camera Hardware button, chose "camera" from the choice of apps to load, and it loads exactly the same as before, without the full features of the other camera app. What's up with that? Am I the only one with this setup? It seems strange because it doesn't seem like a bug since everything works, I just have less features. I can go into settings and most settings are the same in both apps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
I guess they say "When you go MeanROM, you can't go back to another ROM". Tried ViperROM (I like the OTA updater where it will only update what's needed to be updated, but I don't care so much for the tweaking). Also, tried AOKP, but its pretty much the same as CM10 (and audio wasn't working for some reason). So basically, I like MeanROM the best, since I like a stock like ROM and I'm most used to MeanROM.

I took a screenshot to show how my Camera app looks when I open it via the hardware Camera button. View here: http://cl.ly/image/1F2Y2U3i1L10

see how there is no video record button and no gallery preview. There's also no burst mode. If I open the camera from my app drawer, it seems to work fine.

I did a full wipe ( I believe.) I'm new to TWRP, I'm used to my OGEVO and AmonRA. But I did a Factory Reset twice, wiped system twice, wiped cache and dalvik twice. I installed 4.5 and came from the stock rom right after rooting. I'm on HBoot 1.19, S-ON and unlocked through HTCdev.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Ok I guess since a couple months ago when I tested this something changed, maybe cause of the new base. Phone likes 1024 for sd speed now. Bumped me up to the 6700's for quadrant. The other speeds I tried except for 128 were much worse scores. Yeah I know they don't matter, but they do.

What you're doing there is running it directly via the app in the drawer, and not running it via the camera button. Camera button gets the full app. Either that, you edited a setting that is screwing things up

I notice if you open the camera and let it sit, the app will turn off the camera with "Tap the screen to activate the camera" showing on the screen

Love the rom and wanted to say thanks. But I too have also had the browser freeze up. I've used Chrome and Firefox. I haven't checked the memory or flash on demand. I normally just get impatient and reset the phone when it happens. Because at that point nothing works when it happens. I think I may have gotten it on another app, but I can't remember what right now. I'm hoping the future update fixes this because it is the only bad part of this great rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
Just FYI, I don't think badly of you I just think maybe you may have at some point missed the point of this phone...it was built to perform and perform at a level to be reckoned with. With kernel mods there will definitely be a lot of different results from phone to phone but those optimizations are phone dependent. Each user may have a slightly different experience, but for the most part, the values that Mikey has predetermined are the best overall. There are some values like sdCard read ahead that can be tweaked to provide a better overall experience and provide better battery life, performance, and so on.... bottom line is the more you learn about the ROM and it's interaction with the the phone, the more you will see of how it has been optimized to run superior to other devices. Don't be afraid to push this thing toward its limits, it was designed to be tough and take a beating. Enjoy it to its full potential.

I read post 3 about overclocking. If I flash the overclock option and my phone doesn't seem to like it, how do I get it back to normal? I didn't see instructions for s-off people.

For the battery performance vs life option, what is your ROM set to by default? Is it one of those 2 or something else? Again, if I change the setting how do I get it back to the before state?

And just curious if you have heard anything about a working 4x5 rosie? Also, have you heard anything about getting our tweak back for app associations?
