[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
Thank you so much for this rom. I was s-off and root but stuck on the original first stock rom just with current radios, because of lack of time and because stock ota chokes on the fact that I had modified /system, and because I had a working wallet and then google friggn broke it with the last update so I couldn't even get in to reset wallet. So I didn't dare flash any roms untill I could fix wallet again... So only just yesterday I found the patched wallet and it worked and I was able to clear wallet. And only just yesterday I backed up everything and used titanium to export txt/mms including pics & attachements, and call log, to xml, and flashed mean 4.0. And it went just fine and titanium imported those xmls just fine so I saved txt and call log from stock 1.13 to mean 4.0 with no glitches. Then a few hours ago pleasant surprise the ota updater downloaded 4.1, very very slowly, as in over 30 minutes on WiFi, but with no problems or errors. It rebooted and installed by itself (all I did was ok, no manual steps, didn't even back anything up first) and 4.1 came up no problem. All my apps and data still there.

One thing about the ota updater though, I did cause it to screw up the download and I had to redo it, and I had to have my own clue how to make sure it wouldd work the 2nd time or I might have maybe had a problem.

Here's what happened. The ota popped up when 4.1 came available. I ok'd and it started dl , so far so good. The dl is incredibly slow so I hit home and do other things. I wanted to go back and check the dl progress and I find the dl in progress item in the notifications. It brings up the dl progress screen. So far so good.

Then along the way I hit the clear button to clear the notifications because I had accumulated a lot doing various things.

The ota dl in progress item goes away along with all the others. Oh no.

When I open the ota app, it does not show the dl progress screen, nor can I find any setting or menu choice to bring it up. The view downloads screen shows the partial download, but does NOT indicate that it's partial or in progress in any way. The check for updates menu choice amazingly says there are no available updates even though I'm still running 4.0 at that point.

Basically, I can find no overt/normal evidense that the download is either in progress still, or if it failed leaving behind a partial file. Everything LOOKS like it's just all done downloading normally, simple as that. Since I's never seen this app before, I do not know what it's normal expected behavior is, I do not know at that point that it will prompt to install the new rom by itself when the dl is done. It just looks like there's a downloaded rom sitting there waiting for me to do something with it. Except I know it was no where near done. It was only in the 90's out of almost 600.

So I go poking around in root explorer and find the download file and it's only about 95 megs and I'm _pretty_ sure that can't be full because 4.0 was 500-ish just yesterday. So I delete that file. Then somehow, I'm not sure how, what exactly I did in what order etc, but somehow I got back to the ongoing dl screen. I think it was from backing out of some screen in the ota app?, like it was there all along underneath some other screens I'd pulled up from the menu button maybe? Or maybe I got there from the recent apps button? In any event, the dl shows that it got a little further than either the last time I saw the dl screen or the last time I saw the actual file when I deleted it. So of course I don't trust that screen any more. I hit cancel. There is a new partial dl file so I delete that again.

Then I check for updates and it says 4.1 available again and this time I let it do it's thing for the entire 30-40 minutes without leaving the dl screen the whole time it's downloading. And the subsequent reboot and install and cache/dalvik wipe and reboot went without a hitch.

So I think the ota app could use some work to prevent that kind of confusion in a few different places. I can only _assume_ that had I not had my own instincts, and tried to install that partial dl manually, that it would simply fail a checksum harmlessly, or fail to unzip harmlessly. Similarly if I had allowed the re-discovered in-progress dl screen to finish instead of aborting it, when I had deleted the file at 95 megs, I would hope that at the end of the dl it would simply fail a checksum and be discarded harmlessly instead of trying to install it.

The dl in progress should not go away from the notifications as long as the dl is in progress, no matter if you press clear.

There should be a menu choice within the app so that if you open the app manually from it's icon, instead of just looking like nothing is going on, you can see that there is a dl currently in progress.

And of course bad downloads should be checked for at the end of the download and just before installing, but I'm assuming that is already true.

Anyways, the rom itself is great so far! So glad to finally be off of that original stock. The camera seems like a big improvement. There hasn't been time to be sure yet but it seems like the focus works a lot better. The focus didn't work worth crap before. I would constantly watch it go right through a crystal clear focus and then stay fuzzy and never lock on to the object no matter how many times I touched the item on the screen. So frustrating because there was no way to manually focus it, and I could see that the optics CAN focus on that object since the autofocus would start out fuzzy, and move the focus closer closer perfect then right on past all the way to fuzzy at the other end of it's range. Grrr! So on this camera I haven't been able to make it fail like that yet. So far so good! And of course the menu button and all the other features are just great. Google wallet works, no NFC brick phew!

Thanks again so much.
