I have latest radio, and still have horrible signal problems. I re flashed the the firmware and radio again, but it's the same. It's not rom related, as HTC's stock rom is the same.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy24:
What file do you use to do that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Los Altos:
Don't we already have that with a long half-press of the camera button?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Right, that's why reading the OP is important:

Firmware

The latest firmware (radio, etc.) is recommended. Check the firmware by pressing Menu while on your home screen, choose "Settings", "About" (bottom of list), "Software Information", "More". If your baseband is less than 1.12, you have old firmware and should update else you could have problems with your data connection, reboots, etc. If you're s-off, you can flash the firmware via one of the 2.13 firmware threads here at XDA (if you're s-off, my bet is you've already done this or certainly know how). If you're s-on, you'll have to flash the latest RUU to get the firmware but be aware that this will update your hboot. Not a problem if you plan to stay s-on, so if that's the route you've chosen, here are instructions on how to update your firmware before flashing this ROM.

I'm going to change "recommended" to "required" too!

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
I am a true believers that the push contacts are what's causing the degredated signal.

I agree with Mikey that most users with s-off have and installed the the radio and firmware.

Big major malfunction !!! HELP !!!!

Downloaded version 6.3 and dirty flashed over 6.2...and now my phone is stuck in Team Win Recovery, It wont start. Everytime I try reboot, ends up back in TeamWin Recovery. The issue is the It will not read he SD card!!! I have a recovery there and previous rom version that I can flash but I am stuck in here!! I also have a HTC Stock recovery , but I don't want to recover to that because It will be like starting from scratch.

Any advice?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Which version of twrp are you using?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Sounds like a bad download. Do you have a previous version of the ROM on the phone? Try flashing that

I've been using this also since it was released on every version of MR I haven't had any I'll effects. Hope I didn't just jinx myself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treetolber:
I was on 2.3 twrp prior to unrooting. As soon as I get to my desk at work I will reroot and try the process all over with the latest baseband installled.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] geomcs:
I've been flashing the 4x5 360 landscape rosie over every version of MeanRom since around v3.4 and have never had a problem. I'm sure Mikey would disagree with using it. If you use alot of homescreen widgets they will look funky in landscape but I don't really use widgets so it's not a problem for me. I copy it from an old, old version of MeanRom and just have it saved on my sd card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpenrod23:
I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work since it's for the 2.13 base

Mike,

While it's a little earlier to know for sure, my contacts and people pulls (from various apps) is absolutely flying on 6.3! That's with Haxsync and Friendcaster populating my contact database. My people and messages loads faster than I can ever remember.

Whatever you did seems like witchcraft, may god have mercy on your soul! ;)

Thanks!

Anyone else having the issue with a new incoming sms or mms there not being a contact shown. I use the stock messaging app and did a clean install if the latest ROM

This is just what I was looking for :cowboy:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] robbo10:
If your talking about the contact pictures not showing, using terminal emulator run these commands:

su

chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*

Then reboot, your contacts pics will be back. I believe you can substitute the 666 with 664 if it is too demonic lol, but that command has always worked for me. This happens to me quite often on new flashes, My OG use to do it also. Hope this helps

Is there a zip file to run that will disable the swipe features. As much as I like them, I actually find it slowing down my phone. I know I can edit the opt file, but I'm just feeling that lazy today.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mjhuffer:
Message Preview lines won't stick

Ya I'm also having this problem. I know there was a fix for the OG Evo that required you to stop the messaging app and clear the cache but then the setting would disappear. But it would hold your setting. Really want this fixed as I use this phone primarily for texting and I hate scrolling all the way down. Mik could never get it figured out on his roms for the OG so maybe Mike will be able to get it straightened out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treetolber:
2.3.1 is what I meant. I just wasn't sure of the 3rd decimal number so I left it off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eazy401:
No I am talking about the names of the contact
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
Yes, it's named "MeanROM-ICS-v58-jewel-ltevo.zip"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twist:
I have noticed the last few releases not being as snappy and using more battery life then before. I guess I can always flash back to an old version. But I did want to chime in as well on this as I am guessing it is the new swipe stuff.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] robbo10:
Maybe try cache wipes and fix permissions in recovery or clear data on the message app but you will lose all your texts. Never had that problem myself

Swyped from my MeanELTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
The swipe stuff has no effect whatsoever on speed or battery life unless you change the default and turn on the screen-off sweeps: in which case it'll use slightly more battery life but will not affect snappiness. As I outlined in a previous message, everyone has their favorite random version that they claim is faster or has better battery life. 99% of the time all you are seeing is your phone getting bogged down with new apps or other issues with the phone or its data develop. You'd be better off doing a clean install and then reinstalling only the apps you need one by one to clear things out. The only reason an old version would run better is if you're restoring a backup where your phone is "less of a mess". 6.3 is by far the fastest and most stable version. All you're doing by restoring old versions is getting rid of some fodder that has collected in the mean time so when you restore, your phone is a little cleaner. So my recommendation is to clean up the latest version rather than restoring (or even flashing) an old one.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dakidd516:
Hey boss man aka mikey....I was wondering if this is a user error or something that was left out of the rom entirely on HTC part.

I was taking screen shots and the notify bar popped up saying it was saved but when I went to the gallery I had a white box with an x....to my surprise I had no more phone storage space but there was no low space notify at all....You mind looking into it...Cause for a min I thought something was broken....and I'm referring to the phones internal storage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
I just don't get it???? Time and time again, you state/say the exact same thing when someone says that a previous version was the fastest/best and the current one is having issues with Data, Speed, Battery etc....That 99% of the time its due to some NEW App, Sprint Tower issue etc. But people NEVER seem to get it. They never think that it could ever be something they did different to the phone that is causing the current issue. Boggles the mind. Anyway, sorry for the rant. Just needed to get it out there....Thanks for the best Fracking Rom on my LTE....

Word.......
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
so true bro! i have been running mean rom since it came out on the evo 3d.. and i have never ever had any problems.. and u are so rite 99% of the time when someone is saying there's something wrong its something they did wrong.. NOT THE ROM! :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I just wanna say, it's not always something they did wrong. It could be an app problem, something went awry and clobbered a database, some update failed to install properly and left a "turd" behind (tech talk eh?), etc. :) All I'm saying is that (possibly due to no fault of your own) stuff gets messed up sometimes. Then a problem that results from that sticks around... until you clean house. Sometimes when you go back a few versions, you do a restore to before the problem occurred and that makes you think, "Ah... version <whatever> runs better: I'll stick with that one." When in fact all you did was clean up some aberrant data by restoring good (old) data.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
That's pretty funny.!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twist:
Thanks for the input Mikey, I have been dirty flashing for a while so doing a clean install wouldn't hurt. But apps are not an issue my phone is pretty clean, don't really need much outside of what's included and don't sync anything besides gmail and I don't even use facebook, also all my contacts and messaging is done thru google voice. I am a simple man ans being a senior IT systems engineer I know how much having a ton of nonsense on any device can bog it down. I will try a clean install of 6.3 and see if it improves, but honestly it has not even become a problem at this point, I am just spoiled with how amazing your roms are and the slightest difference is noticed when most people have never even had an android perform as well as your roms do I am sure.

Thanks again for taking the time to address my post!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Mike? This feature has been asked about by me and others. It would be nice to get some feedback.

Sent from my EvoLTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
I have a poll I would to see. How many of the people having swipe issues are lefty? Lefties hold the phone differently than righties. Ask any lefty.

The same holds true for writing. Look at a lefty's palm after writing a document, and you will see ink or pencil marks; as well as blisters on their pinkies. Not to mention they hold the paper on a big slant.

What am I getting at? A leftty's palm constantly drags over the bottom of the screen. I'm assuming when this happens, the swipe feature activates. After several times of this, the phone comes to a halt. This is not a speed issue, as when I try to keep my palm off (not easy for a lefty) I have no issues.

I switched phones with my wife (a righty) and she had no issues.

Palm issue aside, the rom is flawless.

Side note, a righty trying to duplicate this action is next to impossible. Just like a righty trying to write with a slanted paper, eventually works the paper back to a straight position.

As crazy as this sounds, lefties please comment on my theory.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twist:
And for everyone else hopping on the, this guy must be a noob bandwagon. I don't use any backup software, I never restore stuff, I either do a dirty flash or if I decide to do a clean flash I wipe everything and re-setup all my settings, which is not much, mainly my google account and then google voice. Otherwise I really don't have anything on my phone except my financial stuff, wells fargo, chase, ing as well as chrome, xda and like astro. That is about it. So I understand the first thought is, this guy has a million programs and restores tb stuff, but I don't do any of that. And my phone really runs fantastic, I have just noticed a couple times it hanging randomly when it never has in the past and my battery being just the slightest bit lower then usual, but heck that could just be the battery its self. I just figured I would mention it, since I also hardly ever post on here, just read when I am on the can lol.

And again I cannot thank Mikey enough for all he has done, I have never even bothered to try other roms here, other then venom before Mikey's rom was even out, because it is just perfect for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Los Altos:
This is why i usually keep a fairly clean version as a Nand base. Maybe about every 10 versions or so I do a full wipe, and install apps from the Play store, not TB. Then that serves as a base Nandroid for any future issues which may occur from data build up from too many dirty flashes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twist:
I am a righty but I agree that this issue could be me inadvertent activating this swipe stuff, (which by the way I have not even taken the time to read about as my phone is great just the way it is now) and having the phone get angry with me, when it is trying to do its thing and I am just trying to view a webpage or something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Just to add to my last comment, somebody just asked to see my phone, and funny enough, a lefty. I watched their palm constantly pressing against the back and home buttons. They did this enough times, and the phone appeared unresponsive. I told them, hold it in your right, as you are pressing against buttons. Bingo, no issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
It's nearly impossible to cause a problem swiping. You can swipe all day with your hand, all over the phone, only on the bottom, any direction, and it's not going to lock it up even if you have all the features turned on. I have not found a single instance where you can do it with your hand. You can put all ten fingers on the display and move them around and never a problem. The only problem that occurs is damp pockets. The problem there is that a damp surface (pocket, wet cloth cleaning, etc.) can activate hundreds of touch points at the same time and there is a bug in the HTC finger data code that bombs. The stock kernel can't handle it either: try cleaning your screen with a cleaning solution while the screen is on and you'll get the same problem. With the latest kernel, even IF there is a damp pocket lockup, all you have to do is press the power button once or twice and it clears it.

I didn't answer because I already pointed that out when I asked for input on which swipe features people wanted. I said please don't ask for things other than stuff that emulates button presses: don't ask for it to activate the flashlight, WiFi, GPS, or anything else other than button presses because that requires that the kernel interact with the HTC code (framework). I'm not going outside the kernel on the features.

Is anyone else running Nova Launcher and Poweramp? I have it set to mode 5 and everything works except the track skip. The strange thing is that the volume buttons on the side worked to skip tracks before but now those don't work anymore either.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sabbys:
v4.2.2 FTW!!! It had a 2.1 kernal, nuff said.

Just kidding, some builds do sometimes hit a "sweet spot" for a particular phone and at the time just "feels right". Changes need getting used to, which is expected, but it is worth following the latest builds to take advantage of the ongoing improvements.

That said, I think Google Now is becoming a real turkey at this point. If our base cannot support it being updated I recommend a clean way of reverting. My 2c.

(and I have kept a copy of v4.2.2 just in case :) )
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Mike, I asked if it was easily possible within the framework because I knew you had constraints. You spend time answering people that do not read the original posts. All you had to say was that it was outside what you were going to do. I'm not the only person that was wondering about the rotate toggle.

You've stated before that you weren't doing anything to your kernal besides overclocking but you changed your mind on that.

I'm an active person in this thread and have tried to contribute positively. It's just common respect and communication.

Ok, so I admittedly am not caught up on this thread anymore, but I have been keeping up with flashing. Everything is working well, except I'm having issues with contacts. Sometimes they work and I can see who is calling, sometimes it is just a phone number. Bigger issue would be that when I go to send an email or text or mms, the contact info doesn't populate at all, I need to enter the exact email address or phone number. Sorry if this has been covered, and assuming it has, can anyone let me know a post to look at or tip to fix?

just got a few questions before i flash (going to flash regardless but like to know the issue before i hit them)

1. is there issues at all in this rom?

2. is the setting set to BATTERY or PERFORMANCE to start after a fresh flash

3. and does this include the hq battery mod in the dev forum? just wondering so i don't do an unnecessary flash

I came from the og evo, and I was able to do the ##775# trick to change my prl, because there is a small town I am in every Monday that does not have sprint service. How would I go bout getting that to work for my new evo, and would it be possible to add this feature to the rom? TIA, and again very nice rom!

ok thanks haha and the trick for updating your prl was actually just added into the development forum. so it should be on the first page or 2. trust me you can't miss it :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krobinso2295:
1) I have not had any problem with my use of this ROM so far. You should read this Forum, or at least some of it to see if there are problems, but I should tell you now a lot of (Loyal) users have not had any problem with this ROM and enjoy using it.

2) You can do that whenever you want. There are no times that are required to do that. It is optional. I would suggest doing it though, but do it on your free time, but to answer your question you do not need to do it directly after flashing.

3) I am not familiar with the hq battery mod, sorry. I will assure you have been getting 20+ plus hours of battery with my (moderate) usage of my device. You will see that others have had great battery life if you read this thread. I will read into the hq battery mod, and get back to you as soon as possible.

P.S. I hope this could answer your questions.
