hey is mean rom 1.3 the old 1.13 base??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
You are describing the symptoms of a bad or corrupted sd card. I would copy everything of the sd card to your computer and format the sd card. Maybe do a scandisk on it. Then you can copy the contents back to the card. If TWRP continues to have problems reading the card or long load times this means the card is definitely going bad and I would replace it before you start losing data.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yes. Funny how the 13's work together like that. ;) Don't know why you are asking but if you want to s-off, you have to install 1.3 because if you're on 1.4 and up, the panda can't find its bamboo because of the new base.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
im asking because the kernel i want to run is 1.13...i already did all that s-off firmwear and radio update..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
I hate patches. Love the way mikey does it.

Every ROM is complete and because they are small updates you can just dirty flash.

I can switch between versions in a single flash.

It's great.

I've never had an issue with dirty flashing MeanRom updates.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vacoray:
I flashed the remapp right button to menu and that works, but are you saying if i long press it i should get search? If i long press it nothing happens but when i let it go i get the menu only.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
So this is kind of interesting... I wanted to check my battery usage because I have my ROM on Over Volt, Over clock 1.782Ghz, SD card read ahead at 3072, obviously Performance... Anyhow, when I went and checked it out this is what I saw...

So it doesn't look bad except for the fact that I've had my phone off charger since 5am when I woke up... That was 6 hours ago, not 30 mins. What would cause an inaccurate time reading?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
It will reset if you restarted the phone, in anyway.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
...I'm not so sure about that, only because in between taking the screen shot I did a PRL update and restarted my phone and now says 1hr 13min.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
Mikey, instead of quoting your reply back on the signal strength I notice something else..... I use WiFi at home and when I left I didn't notice till about 15 min later that I had no data. I reset the phone and it came back. I am on WiFi now but I will have to see if data switch back on to the network when I leave. Keep you posted
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
That's been a problem with this phone since day one on any ROM. It's very WIFI router dependent.

Have you installed the new firmware yet. I'm hoping it is supposed to fix this issue. I have it installed but I'm on vacation and not on my normal routine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dman918:
My wifi problem isn't that it connects and then disconnects. It seems like it just can't even find my network, even when right up to the router. Firmware on the router is current. I will go ahead and try to set to 2.4ghz only and wifi max performance. Is this the issue people are having or are they just bouncing in and out of wifi? This is happening with 1.7 and updated firmware/radio/PRL package (I'm S-off as well).

Also, any solution to my text msg photo issue?

Thanks for your help,

I do not feel it is my place to send Chad's work to people, especially due to past events on XDA. You can sign up on his site at anthrax-kernels.us.

The kernel is stock with Linaro 4.6 anyways. He just wanted to see if it would work. Now he's working his magic.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
LOL you are funny. He said it was a non-flashable zip.

You have to unzip, and manually install the modules to the right partition. As to where they go no idea because im on new base and the kernel is for the old 1.13 base.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
I know, but how can it be a non-flashable zip?? Kernels are distributed as flashable zips.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
Hey Mike I know you are probably busy with 1.8, but when you have time could you send that apktool zip that works lol. No rush of course.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
NO, most kernels are not distributed as a flashable zip but as an .img which has to be pushed to the device via adb. It takes a friendly developer or someone that knows how to change it into a flashable zip.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Out of curiosity, what model router do you have? Not like I can do anything about it... I'm just gathering info.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
The attached are the files I'm using. I think I got all the ones that are important. For me, I found it easiest to just put these files in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder (if running Windows of course).

After putting the files there, the first order of business is to unzip the ROM of your choice and then go to a command prompt and change directory to the \system\framework path of the ROM. Then issue these commands:

apktool if framework-res.apk

apktool if com.htc.resources.apk

apktool if framework-htc-res.apk

Then you should be good to go for decompiling/recompiling. Any time you switch ROMs though, you should redo the above commands with the new ROM.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
It's not like my 2 cents is needed, but here it is.

I was having trouble with my wifi disconnecting and reconnecting several times, over and over again through out the day. (You can even see it doing that on my MeanROM 0.8 Video). Ever since MeanROM 1.4+, I haven't had anymore disconnects!

I have a linksys E4200 router and I'm connected to the 5Ghz network.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
Thank you very much Sir!

oh so I'll be doing this every 3 to 4 days with MeanROM? LOL nice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LMMT:
Yes, exactly! I think I've come to the same conclusion. If you are able to test the old firmware, with the new radio, please share your results. I'll also try it, but I'm on my way to work, so it may not be until much later, or tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cantos:
Anyone have a suggestion on a direction to start digging on how to combine multiple menu remap zip settings into one flashable zip?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
Probably a side of effect of them trying to fix the issue of the radio falling on its face all the time. I know mine has gotten better since the full firmware flash, it was way worse with just the radio flash. I would have "dead data" all the time. Either a 3G icon that would never light up with decent signal or no 3G icon after leaving a wifi area. I only had it once today when I went in an elevator that's a dead zone for every carrier. I checked my phone a few minutes later and no data. I have to reboot the phone, toggling airplane, toggling mobile data, etc doesn't fix it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Hah! :) No, just to clarify... you only need to redo it when one of the three mentioned framework files change. Not with every version.

You're one of many where the new 1.22 base fixed the problem. There's a small minority, however, that still have the problem even after updating to (any) ROM with the 1.22 base. I think there's still some work HTC can do to improve router compatibility.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
BTW, tried to use Google Wallet yesterday to spend my $10 at McDonald's. Held the phone against the terminal and after about 10 seconds, wallet finally opened. I entered my pass key and it said "waiting for wallet to activate" or some such nonsense. Then it said fail and suggested I restart the phone. Well, didn't have time to do that but I did touch it to the terminal one more time. This time it opened and I got the message "tap again to complete purchase". I tried tapping the screen. Tapping the phone to the terminal again. Nothing. It just sat there. In the mean time, I could have paid 6 times on my credit card by then. After finally giving up and just turning the phone off, the cashier asked the manager about how to use it and got a reply, "Oh, that doesn't work. A few people have tried."

Not impressed! By the time they get the kinks out a year from now, I'll have a new phone. I think I'll just pay by credit card as, even IF it worked, I know I can swipe my card faster than all that pin-entering, waiting for authorization (apparently via the 3G network), and double tapping.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Looks like a problem with aapt. Did you put aapt.exe from the ZIP I gave you in the platform-tools folder? Also, go do the Android SDK Tools group in Windows and run SDK Manager to be sure you have the latest Android SDK.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
Yes aapt is in there and downloaded latest SDK yesterday. Java SE as well.

I did download the platforms for both 4.1 and 4.0.3. Could that be the issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theothermillion:
I have used it a few times without issues however I always have had wallet already opened
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Does it error if you don't change anything: just decompile and try to build right after that without changing anything? Maybe try restoring the old aapt you had before you used mine... or update the Android SDK tools again and it should do that for you.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
Yep tried decompiling/recompiling with no changes. Ok will try that when i get home. Thanks for the input.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
I did try it at mcdonalds a week or two ago and it worked liked a charm...this was right after I flashed the zip OMJ made for wallet...the transaction itself has never showed up in my history, but the amount left shows a $1.44, but someone else said that was a known side affect of using that hacked wallet...

it didn't phase the cashier at all, shes like just give it a second...and then it beeped and a receipt printed it out.

I had flashed viper before it was widespread known to reset wallet before flashing a new ROM, too...but my secure element seems to be just fine.

imo, i agree, quicker to swipe card...lol. and I prefer that, since I don't have a citi mastercard and nfc payment places are few and far between around here, it seems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KnoxBNYC:
Strange.

I used the $10 on 07July in a taxi here in NYC for $8.52. It worked flawlessly and VERY quickly for me.

The only weird thing was that the "Status" in the receipt (in Wallet -> "Transactions") said Authorizing for a long long time. Hours after the taxi's system said it was approved. But it eventually did change to "Completed". I got the feeling I was the first person this driver had ever seen use his smartphone to pay the fare!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sypris:
I've used it flawlessly at the Sunoco station I work at.

Just press the back of the phone flat against the paypass scanner, wallet will ask for your pin, tap it again. Or you can have wallet open already and your pin entered and it will only take one tap.

You also don't even need your mobile network or wifi on to use it.

What about PMing other members back n forth to try to solve a problem about a kernel with other members that are on the same rom as each other from xda. Or or we left to figure out meanrom/kernel problems in another forum just cause we are on an (outside) kernel? Sometimes I'm not sure if a problem I may have is rom related or kernel.

Sucks things got split like this

XDA:Basically roms and every mod

ELSEWHERE: kernels (if u want em full of awsomesauce)

See but my questions arise cause sometimes things criss cross. Problems, fixes, improvements, help. There are grey areas in life.

Just for the record I will not be posing links or webpages anymore about any future not compliant kernels. And if the answer to my questions above are a no, than I will not be doing those either.

In general it's very inconsiderate to the ROM developer to discuss issues related to custom kernels in their thread at all, that should be done in the kernel's thread. Discussing it over private message falls under the same rules as discussing cracked apps over PM and will be handled similarly.

Warez refers to any illegal downloads or pirated/stolen software. Use of the Linux kernel is licensed and legally bound to the GPL v2, so by not complying with it's requirements it is by definition warez.

Well I attempted to use mine for the first time today at 7-11. And without having any idea how to use it, I pulled out my phone, tapped the power button and unlocked the screen then held the phone up to the MC pay pass and in a split second, it beeped.....my phone opened to google wallet, it said confirmed purchase and a receipt popped out from the register while the girl working said "what the hell did you just do???" I smiled, took the receipt and said thank you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
its for when the phone drops below 15% battery. does nothing until then.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SRQ Rick:
Not sure how this correlates but just an FYI.....My house has a horrible signal....have had constant dropped calls previous to the firmware update. The signal constantly showed 0 to 1 bar anywhere in my house, but would seldom go into roaming (almost never). Since the frimware update my phone is roaming probably 50-60% of the time I am at home. The difference is, now I can use my phone inside my house because it is roaming whereas before, my phone was like a paper weight when I was home. It wouldn't ring and every call would drop if you din't go outside. Not sure if that helps or not, but its been drastically different!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] long_tall_texan:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Don't know if it'd matter, as I expected that problem anyway. If past experience is any indicator, you probably can't go backward with PRI because it won't update unless the version number is higher. You may have to hack the PRI part of the firmware with a hex editor to change the version number to get it to load... Something I'm not sure is worth it. Especially when no one really knows what's in most of those firmware files anyway, so it might not even be the PRI causing problems.

We tried to do that on the EVO 3D and it appeared to work. Then suddenly on the next hands free activate or something it would come back to the updated PRI. I think it has multiple copies in there somewhere.

I would not go down that road.

I'm roaming a lot on vacation at the moment and it seems fine with the new firmware. I don't live or work or vacation on the edge of roaming, I'm either fully on sprint or fully roaming and those each work good. I also drove an hour tethered in and out of roaming and it worked better than the old firmware but it was not a full test. My acid test is VPN to work remote desktop for 2 hr's driving.
