we had been discussing the advanced data restore routine,

which i stated was better than just wiping cache and dalvik cache

and flashing the new rom over existing data.

but i do my clean throwaway testing setups my way for a reason,

and the time is not a factor.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] seewhyphotos:
+1 to both of you.

It took me a few weeks of stalking the 4GLTE forums, before I finally decided to jump in. It took the reviews of MeanROM to finally tip me over the edge and do the s-off, ROM flash on this phone.

Hey Mike,

I still have the issue when I reboot my phone and then unlock the screen for the 1st time, the dialer shows up instead of the homescreen. It won't let me hit the back button to get out of dialer, so I hit the home button and sense reloads. Everything is fine after that.

I think a few people have this issue. I get it with a clean or dirty flash. It is hit and miss with different versions of MR.

It's done that for every version because it does it on stock too. Every Rom is vulnerable. It happens whenever phone.apk gets updated. It only happens the first time after you flash a new version. Just press home to load sense.

You had me hooked on trying the clean install with being able to restore just data, but it didn't go so well...

Her is what I did...

1. Nandroid 3.6

2. Boot to Recovery

3. Factory Reset two times.

4. Install 3.7

5. Boot to 3.7

6. Reboot to 3.7

7. Flash 4x5 - because my data is from 4x5.

8. Reboot 3.7

9. Reboot 3.7

10. Reboot to Recovery

11. Clear both caches

12. Restore 3.6 Data only

13. Reboot 3.7

Now booting up I constantly get a bunch of processes stopping, but everything looks like it restored data, as it's my original background and layout.

Ok, so it looks like now I restore my 3.6 backup and dirty flash up to 3.7

Restoring my 3.6 boots up 3.6 without my data - looks stock!

Did a data restore only from the same 3.6 backup and it comes up looking like my data, but gives me the process stopping again.

Any thoughts? See anything wrong in my original steps?

Dirty flashing is looking better right now...

Mikey, I was wondering if u are capable of changing the weather lock screen background? HTC did a very poor job at giving us some stupid grid background. Steal25's rom for the 3d had a great cityscape background. Or would it even be possible to have system background on the weather lock screen?

I'm not sure it this is something you do or you let themers do as you don't want your rom too far visually from stock.

I've had this happen on MR and tranquility Rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrshades812:
It is easy. As easy as going to post 3. All you need is root explorer. Just make a file using that called MeanROM.opt. (case sensitive)

Read on:

You can change the performance and features of MeanROM ICS by following these instructions:

MeanROM ICS uses "sticky" settings that will survive dirty wipes/installation of new versions meaning you can make these changes once and they'll stick through dirty installs when you update. We do this by creating a file called /data/MeanROM.opt. The file should be a text file and it should have permissions rwxr-xr-x (755). You can create the file in notepad on your computer and use Root Explorer or the included ES File Explorer to put the file in your /data directory on your phone and set the permissions. Steps 1-7 in "The hard way" instructions below show you how to get to the /data folder with ES File Explorer. Here's what to put in that MeanROM.opt file (note that case IS important when naming this file):

Performance or battery: Use PERFORMANCE_OR_BATTERY="PERFORMANCE" (including quotes) for performance mode or PERFORMANCE_OR_BATTERY="PERFORMANCE" (including quotes) for battery mode to get more from your battery.

Screen on with new SMS: There is a meanrom.opt.screenonsms property in build.prop that you can change to false if you don't want your screen turning on when new messages arrive. To put this preference in the sticky file, add a line that says "setprop meanrom.opt.screenonsms false" (not including quotes).

Capacitive button brightness: To make the capacitive buttons brighter, add a line that says BRIGHTSET="40" (including quotes). The default is very dim (1) so they only show in the dark but you can even turn them off with BRIGHTSET="0" if you like.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] youngbasedgod:
"s-on installation

1. Note that with s-on, you must flash TWO things separately: the ROM ZIP and the kernel inside that ZIP. Step 2 below shows you how to flash both so you can be sure you got the whole package. If you are s-on and you just flash the ZIP through recovery and reboot, you'll run into problems particularly if you are not already running a 2.13 based ROM.

2. If you have a new phone and are starting from scratch, use these instructions to unlock your phone and install TWRP recovery. These instructions work for all current software including the latest 2.13. Follow all steps up through and including step 28, except in step 25, use the latest openrecovery*.img file from here instead of the old 2.1.8 version listed on the page. Once you successfully complete step 28, you can boot to recovery and install MeanROM.

3. If you've already unlocked via the HTC method above and you already have TWRP recovery installed, here are ROM installation instructions for you.

4. Have trouble after trying to flash s-on: try this info.

5. Updating your firmware to the 2.13 RUU is another story altogether so I'll leave the firmware/radio updates to other threads."

Ok, I just copied and pasted the s-on instructions from the front page here because I'm confused about #5. I thought you had to be s-off to update the firmware.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Nandroid 1st but there shouldn't be a problem with this method because you have the new stock kernel already from 3.6, which is the same kernel in 3.7

You should only have to fastboot/flash gui a different kernel, i.e. 3.4 to 3.7 or cmx to mean rom

Mikey, I got to think it is a tower or carrier issue in your area. Have you tried it in another area? I just got back from a trip to Southern Illinois at the in laws and Sprint service is terrible on their farm so I selected the roam only in settings.

I have been talking back and forth with mikeyxda, it's a metropcs issue. Sounds like there is an issue with metropcs telling sprint that his phone is on their tower. Unfortunately when a call comes in, sprint thinks his phone is off so it sends it to voice mail.

The 12124 prl doesn't have metropcs in the list for his area. So he sits on vzw which works fine, but 12124 doesn't allow Lte connections. Working on a solution to fix both issues....

How do I change UNIX file permissions using PuTTy or Terminal?

In PuTTy or Terminal, you must change permissions using the ‘chmod’ command.

The syntax for the command is as follows:

chmod ### filename

In this command, each number specifies the permissions for one of three groups.

The first number sets permissions for the owner of the file,

the second sets permissions for groups of other users,

and the third sets permission for the rest of the world.

When you set permissions for a group, you will set it to a number 0-7:

0=No Permissions Whatsoever

1=Execute Only

2=Write Only

3=Write and Execute

4=Read Only

5=Read and Execute

6=Read and Write

7=Read, Write, and Execute
