Hey mikey is there a changelog for 4.2? Can't seem to find any info.

Oh hell yea! The camera button wakes the phone now - been waiting for that. Thanks so much Mikey, everything's smooth as buttered boobs.

Post #2

Changelog:

4.2

Changes:

Permanently fixed dialer-on-boot

Fixed some stability issues

Added wake via full press of camera button (configurable: see post 3)

Updated OTA Updater app

Installation notes:

s-on people: 4.0 has a new unsecure boot image. The new kernel installer should take care of the installation. If not, use fastboot or flash image GUI as usual.

Yup sorry stupid and forgot the ota app gives changlog as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] o0RaidR0o:
I love this ROM, and fully appreciate the time, effort, and patience that goes into these projects. Looking forward the minor fixes of course, but I'm not so sure if having adding another wake-up button that can accidentally be pressed while in my pocket is really a good idea. It's bad enough depending on my jeans that I sometimes reset the phone if I lean over to much while sitting...LOL!

While I most certainly will give it a go and reserve judgement, mikey if push comes to shove maybe later you can add a revert mod. Also while we're on the subject of mods, is there any hope for a battery mod back to stock?

Thanks!

The 4.2 also fixes the low notification volume from 4.1 (which was fixed in 4.1.1, and I assume 4.2 has 4.1.1 fixes)

Probably so, We have that sonic wall bull****. But why does it start up at such a high DL rate on our Comcast Business account over 2.8MB/S then drops at 14%?

I chose to install the zip as directed using TWRP ...

It started the boot up sprint screen then went black (thought it was upgrading the kernel)

Now trying to get back into recovery the menu lights at the bottom just flash on and off while holding power.

finally got back into recovery, just help it down for like a minute until they stopped blinking.. 2nd attempt to flash it..

Same thing, just black screen.. Is this not upgrading the kernel?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Did you do the RUU/OTA dance to get the newest firmware/radios?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
You probably didn't notice, because it appears as soon as you unlock the phone. Starting with hboot 1.12, and yes there is a method to remove it if your s-off. You can also alter your hboot screen to show that you are s-on and locked so it looks like your stock even though you are not. I'm so glad I s-offed the day I got my phone.

I'm afraid to flash 4.2 because I don't want to JINX things. 4.1 is Perfection. Can it possibly keep getting better than it already is? The music mods in the last release are amazing, the battery life is incredible, the speed and fluidity of the rom is completely lag free, the camera has gotten a boost from Sense 4.5, I flashed a mod that gave me the battery gauge and all the nice icons in notifications, Exchange works, no reboots, Sense and all it's glorious widgets, and now Nightlies for the Meanies!!!! I truly feel like the only thing that could possibly make this any better would be to have the exact same setup that Mikey gave us here on Ice Cream Sandwich moved over to Jelly Bean.

Wow Mikey that is a kind of rude sentiment.. but also just because someone does not post does not mean they are new or uninformed or anything.. I have the reboot problem and I do not have a new phone. I think we have this figured out though since you posted this unless someone comes forward with the problem that is not running the new kernel on the old baseband..

Mikey is ****in bad ass man. Yesterday was iPhone 5 day. Android central did a couple write ups of ___________ Android phone vs iPhone 5. No anything for eVo 4g lte though. That's great, dismiss the top phone of the HTC one line, and phone with the best screen/CPU out PERIOD. Yeah this phone is crap. An eVo, what the hell is that, is that a Droid.......... Yeah, whatever, its a Droid. Lol. And to everyone with an iPhone, no phone is an iPhone killer, which in something called the real world, any, and I do mean any Android phone that is in the high end category is an iPhone killer. But with meanrom is more like a massacre. I was kinda thinking they should do a write up of how much would have to be done for apple or any phone to catch up to this phone with meanrom.

And Mikey I wish I could have donated more than $20 the other day. **** man I wish I could have donated my phone for the cause. I felt horrible that I'm sitting here with a launch day s-off mint condition phone and u have to settle for a random phone not knowing of the problems (quirks)to come of it. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Well, I can say that running the new kernel on the old baseband does not mean that you WILL have random reboots. I'm running old firmware (1.15) on MR4.1 and am as stable as can be. Not a single reboot on any of the 2.13 based MR versions. ...knock on wood... Mine is running like a top.

umm thanks for posting this.. maybe you could add this info to the blurb that cones to when you download via the ota.. My install did not take the 5 minutes like last time there was a new kernel.. do you think that means it didn't work?

Also do you think when doing the ota you could give us the option to do a backup?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
I think my random reboot could have come from my carrying case. I have a Seidio Platinum Case from Best Buy and the two times it rebooted the Power button was positioned in a way that the top of the case could have held the Power button down until it rebooted. I wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache and the phone hasn't rebooted since. Downloading 4.2 as we speak. This Rom is untouchable IMHO.

if you hold it just a little longer it should boot up after the lights flash. happened to me once, scared me there for a second, it was right when i was boting into TWRP the first time.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
nothing to do with fastboot, but if you get stuck and its not restarting you press and hold power for 10 seconds or so...

IIRC, when you hold the power button longer than 10 seconds it will blink the lights and then reboot a few seconds after that...basically is the same as a battery pull.

I must be lucky...

Now, only thing missing is Landscape Rosie 360.. mike, any update on getting the fixed yet? That will make the rom perfect when installed with all the right pieces.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] manaup:
Someone told me earlier on this post staying that the default included with this rom is "performance" already. Is that right? Or do I still have to set it to "performance" to get the specs?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
If you want to get scores like this you need to setup your phone bare bones. Don't put any widgets on your home screens, no live wall paper, run benchmark before restoring your apps, and run the included task manager before running the benchmark. The biggest reason for the improvement in scores is the increased memory available because Sense 4.1 is smaller. Which stands to reason, if you run the benchmark with the most memory free you will have high scores.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] str8chillin1805:
Ok i cleared widgets...what apps should not be closed using the included task manager? Or should i click kill all or what? Ive never really used the included one

Correct, the default is PERFORMANCE. Nothing needs to be done to have the phone operate in a performance mode.

I find that BATTERY gives me the same pop and performance, but with the idle saving me battery life for the long term.

It's all personal preference. The ROM runs like a scalded cat right out of the box, maximizing all the tweaks of Sense 4.1, and the more efficient kernel..

My phone is loaded to the max and at least one widget on each of the 7 home screens and mine just scored... My live wallpaper is very kick ass custom water drops. None of that stuff should slow down your phone in that manner. And I always run benchmarks with my daily governor, which is on demand. I never run performance. And when you have the chance to switch the governor to interactive, it will boost quadrant at least 200 more.

This is low actually too. A couple versions ago it was around 6190 with no o/c.

It should help to change sd speed to 128 and I/O scheduler to cfq. I also switched the mount points of the internal and external sd.

But most importantly yes this last base update gives you what the previous base did o/c'd to 1.89. So I really can't wait till source drops again.
