Reports on battery life are completely random: nothing has changed in many versions to affect battery life. That's why you see "2.1 is giving me incredible battery life" followed a couple posts later by "2.1 is eating my battery" from a different person. It has nothing to do with the ROM and everything to do with your setup, what you are running, what mods you have installed, whether or not you are running WiFi, if you are in a weak signal area, etc. Now, that said, if you want help with battery life, you'll need to use something like Better Battery Stats to see what's eating your battery or at least follow the instructions in post 2 about how to properly report battery life.

Keep in mind that most widgets don't even know 4x4 or 4x5: the widgets don't look at how many rows/cols there are. If you use a 4x4 Sense widget for example, you'll notice it takes up the entire workspace even though it says "4x4" and you're running a 4x5 rosie. That's because it assumes a 4x4 layout so it's actually taking up the amount of space it would have taken under a 4x4 setup without regard to it now being a 4x5. My wording on that sucked... suffice it to say that a 4x4 widget most of the time will still take up the 5th row because it has a "hard size" built in. And if you try to size a widget to 4x5: that won't work because it's trying to size to 4x5 in a world that it still sees as 4x4. Best I can explain it at this late hour. ;)

Thanks,

Mike

What I do after flashing a rom and getting everything where I want it and doing a backup I let the phone die completly then recharge to full and it seems to work for me, and also it takes a little time for the rom to settle :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Forgot to answer this: no... it is done by hex editing the M10 file in assets.

Yes. You could open the Rosie.apk as a ZIP file and replace the "assets" folder with what's in the "assets" folder in my Rosie.apk. That should work.

Governors/Schedulers

For everyone asking why their governor/schedulers aren't sticking with the Awesomesauce kernel, it's because you need to change them in the init.qcom.post_boot.sh script located in /system/etc. Mikey sets the governor to ondemand by default in his script. Change the ondemand's to interactive (his script supports both governors). The scheduler is set to noop by default or sio if the kernel supports it. Don't use No Frills/SetCPU/System Tuner/etc.

EDIT: To clarify, only change the governor from ondemand to interactive on lines 46, 53, and 61.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marvinlh:
Which do I change to underclock?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bjevers:
Max frequency is determined by lines 43 and 50 depending on whether you have the script set to performance or battery.

Radio Button Lock Screen Background

Hey Mikey I know you get lots of request but 3 things I think would be helpful is:

1) Can you change the Radio Buttons "Check Mark" from Green to Black (or some darker color)? It is sometimes hard to tell what is selected or not.

2) Also On my Lock Screen a dark background around the time and date would really help as my phone the text on the screen saver is white.

3) Is there a way to remove the text under the icons on the home screen? The reason asking is because on 4x5 main home screen if I have 3 rows of icons and go to landscape mode the text is cut off at the bottom of the screen. I was thinking that this may help with the spacing.

Anyway thanks for all your efforts!

Is anyone having trouble with the Facebook widget. Since I upgraded to 2.1 from 2.0 my Facebook widget has been stuck on refreshing statuses. I've cleared data, removed and reloaded the widget, forced sync, deleted account and logged out and back in, and rebooted several times. If you tap on the widget it opens the app and works normally, it just won't show the status on the widget.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcvoss:
Try 'folder organizer lite' from the play store. It lets you remove the text under the icons. Works well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bjevers:
If using Sense you can create custom shortcuts with Desktop Visualizer that do not have labels. Free in the market. Might be a little time consuming. Maybe someone else knows of a quicker way of doing that.

Most custom launchers like Apex allow you to remove labels on your shortcuts.

sometimes my changing my profile settings from loud to vibe or silent when I go back down to vibe..the icon just disappears and I only get the silent icon in the taskbar and even when doing volume down somtimes if i go volume down all the way it will show the silent icon in taskbar and on screen but in reality it is on VIBE and if i arrow up one the silent icon stays and thats truly silent and one more arrow up is Loud and if i go back down all the way i cant get the vibe icon back.. but the only way i can get the true vibe icon back if i go to settings and sound profile and change from loud to vibe then the vibe icon will reappear...any idea why this happens? maybe a fix not a huge deal just kinda annoying

I am on 2.1 and before flashing i did a full wipe including factory reset and still had this issue when i was 1.7, I am S-OFF with all of the new firmware updated if that makes any difference

Gosh, me either. This is my first full day on the ROM and the battery has been beyond belief! I've been using it all day on and off as usual WiFi mostly but I am at 63% after 13 hours and 10 minutes. Crazy cool.

How do I update my phone (which is on the 1.13 firmware, HTC-unlocked, rooted, MeanROM 1.1) to the latest firmware with MeanROM 2.1? When I checked for a firmware update a couple minutes ago, my phone just said no firmware updates were available. So can someone make a step-by-step guide on what to do?

I don't really understand what the instructions provided mean since they seem to conflict with each other. I know I have to reset Google Wallet but otherwise I have no idea what to do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Follow the instructions in the OP for your situation (s-on/s-off) to update radio. Then flash MeanROM 1.4 or higher for new 1.22.651.3 base. All the answers are in the OP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theothermillion:
I noticed since upgrading from 1.4 to 2.1 the menu button inside stock apps such as Gmail are gone. I was hoping not to have to flash remapping mods anymore. Anyway to get this fixed for future updates or is it due to the way you removed the menu bar?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
That is by design, the remapping is standard now. Read the first post and the change log and it will all be clear.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tourbound129:
The recent apps button is menu by default now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theothermillion:
I realize the remapping is standard and I am happy about that. Previously I was using a remapping mod that did everything that this rom now does as far as removing the menu nav bar and remapping the capacitive buttons however when using apps such as Gmail and contacts and such the menu button that was in the app still showed up. In this rom it doesn't show.

I don't really understand his request, but would love getting the AOSP multi-tasking UI. HTC's cards is just highly inefficient.

Any different kernels or anything that make for longer lasting/faster charging battery life..?? This was my first ROM I flashed yesterday when I brought home my new EVO and I figured I'd test the market after reading so many good things.. My only trouble is just getting this thing to charge, seems like it takes forever, an than on fairly moderate use it will drain faster than I'm used to as well.. I was on AlterROM on my EVO4G, and that thing would charge up very quickly and last all day and some with the same amount of usage.. Is this just the way the LTE EVO is, or am I not seeing a kernel that plays better with this ROM..?? Thanks..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Battery life seems to vary wildly from person to person. However, using the supplied charger (or a good car charger), it always takes about 3-4 hours to charge (at least that's how it has been for me, regardless of ROM or phone). You do have to realize that the bigger the screen on a phone, the faster the battery gets discharged when its being used.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Kernel development is in it's infancy for LTEVO. HTC is dragging out releasing source code for 1.22.651.3. So we're all left in a state of limbo for kernel. What is out there are basically modified, or tweaked, stock kernels.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Pretty much, I ran the awesome kernel and didn't find it to be any better than stock atm. I was on mean with the 3D so I know if there is/was a kernel that's worthy Mike will bake it in. Until then I'm going to stick with what Mikey gives us
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xjreyes:
I've tried looking but does anyone have a stock battery mod for this ROM?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Papichulo06:
Two questions:

1. Is anyone else having trouble with the play store not installing all your back up apps after doing a fresh wipe? It seems to just hang with the apps in the downloading state but they never actually start downloading unless I reboot.

2. Was wondering if you were ever going to make your ROM updates available for download through Goo Manager? Where I'm at the only real internet I have is on my phone and even that is spotty at best. I always have connection interruptions and thus bad md5's.

Thanks for all your hard work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unitedflyboy:
Im sure others have addressed this, but im having issues with Pandora. The only version that works is v1.3, but that version only shows cover-art in landscape mode.

Any version higher than 1.3 only works while wifi is connected. I hope someone figures out what is causing this problem. I miss my Pandora version 1.5.6.

Hey Mike, I love your rom and have donated a couple times to support your work.

Is there any way to get the widget for notes working? I did a search, but all the solutions seem antiquated and incomplete. I like the notes integration with calender, it rocks!

Anything you could do would be much appreciated.

I had this last night and (in my case) the culprit turned out to be Adobe Reader. It was stuck in process of "downloading" but making no progress. When I canceled the update, all my other pending updates completed in quick succession. When I went back to manually update Adobe Reader, I found that what it really wanted was a new "I agree" authorization. Play Store should have sorted it under the manual updates for that reason, but didn't.

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

I've been a user of MeanROM on the LTE since the beginning and had MeanROM on my 3d before that.

Still, I've been cautious and sticking with the Stock Sense experience throughout. I have ICS on a number of different devices, so the stock button arrangement was no big surprise or challenge to me.

Now I have made the jump from 1.7 to 2.1 (paradigm shift) with the 4x5 Rosie and Mikey's button remapping as the new defaults. Lo and Behold, IT IS BETTER! Recent Apps to Menu is a big change for me because I use Recent Apps all the time to kill tasks. (don't know if it's widely known to noobs, but yes, flinging up on any app in the Recent Apps list will kill it - a feature adopted from WebOS).

But getting used to the new arrangement, it's really the way Android ought to work. Long-press Home for Recent Apps is already second-nature to me. Curse the ICS team for removing Menu from the set of standard meta-buttons in the first place!

My point here is to suggest, politely, to all those who write in asking for this button to work this way or that icon to be colored that way: STFU and spend half a day just learning MeanROM the way it was designed (and documented). The Author puts more time and thought into features and settings than, seemingly, the entire HTC Sense development team. There is a reason for everything and, usually, it's a very good reason.

If, after half a day of good faith effort, you still think your way is better - and, after checking the ReadMe in the MeanROM-ICS folder to see if it isn't already a flashable option - then post a request. I've never seen a well-reasoned request get turned down, unless there was also an equally well-reasoned downside.

To Mikey: Great Work! I hated my 3d until I had MeanROM on it. I loved my LTE out of the box, but it never reached its potential until MeanROM 2.1.

Figured one out...now another question?

OK, I finally figured out what my problem was with the boot loops in sense. Everytime i placed my google chrome widget on one of my screens and tapped it to edit it. Once in edit mode if i drag it to be the length and width of the screen that when it reloads sense and just boot loops!

Now I have another question when i flash the rosie-4X5-port-land-360.zip everything works but i noticed that when i flip the phone to landscape my apps and folders get the folder names cut off? I tried to read back as far as I could in this thead to see if any one else is having this issue but was unable to find any thing. Any help would be much appreciated!

Have you tried 1.6? I'm running Pandora 1.6: nothing special, just downloaded it from the play store. It works fine, even on 3G. My 3G here is horrific too: 150Kbps and spotty at best. And it still works! I even tried turning WiFi off, 3G on, and rebooting to be sure it didn't even have a chance to start in WiFi mode. Still works. Takes up to maybe 30 seconds to buffer, but it does work. Not sure what's going on. Is anyone else able to get the normal Pandora download from the market to work, or is it just me? Maybe clear data for the app, uninstall it, and reinstall from the Google Play?

This happened to me too when I stretched business calendar widget to full screen size. Obviously after the resizing of things the widget no longer took up the whole screen and when I did the edit to stretch widget to full screen size, sense just kept rebooting. I had to reflash and start over.

Just installed 2.1

However, the version number still says MeanRom ICS v1.93

I was on 1.4 before the install. Perhaps the versioning wasn't updated when the ROM was compiled?

EDIT: Oh, there would be that whole "Install Failed" i must not have noticed. Try to reinstall and it threw an error. Checksum error....must've been a bad download.

I recall somebody mentioning that if you're using TWRP to flash, make sure you set it to use rm -rf instead of formatting. That way when you flash MeanRom on after superwipe, you don't lose the formatting tweaks that superwipe gives you.
