[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Just wanted to report on a trend I'm seeing lately. I believe 80% or more of the issues mentioned lately are coming from "extras" that people are installing. As we add more options to the ROM like musicbox, whitelists, and other tweaks, we go deeper into the rabbit hole and it is increasingly difficult to get back out without losing an arm or at least a few fingers. ;) In addition, JB is super finicky as far as what apps and add-ons work properly with JB. Even apps from the Play Store: some seem to work but really don't and cause other problems (these are even more problematic because they are more difficult to diagnose). Due to the finicky nature of JB and the incompatibility of most tweaks, mods, and themes, I'm tempted to add somewhere in the OP a statement like "If you want this ROM to run flawlessly, NO tweaks, mods, or themes are supported". The one exception might be if you are installing something that specifically says it was made for "MeanBean 2.3" (or whatever version of MeanBean you are running).

If it doesn't say it was specifically designed for this ROM, it's a near-guarantee you are going to break something: something like musicbox, the white list, or even more mundane things like WiFi connections or init.d scripts. So for 80% of you with issues, the answer is likely this: make sure your firmware is up to date and then do a clean install of the ROM from TWRP. Afterward, install NOTHING else that requires you install from recovery except the ZIPs in /sdcard/MeanBean. Think of it this way, if you find yourself in TWRP recovery and you are flashing anything other than the ROM itself or something from /sdcard/MeanBean, you are going to break something! It's nice being on the cutting edge where we have things like musicbox, white lists, extended back-kill, and so on but it comes with a price: it means that nearly all other (generic) mods, tweaks, and themes are going to be incompatible... because they're not doing that stuff.

Of course the other 20% comes from things like random people having trouble with Nav and it looks like things like that are going to have to be addressed by HTC/Google.

I know what you mean! I cleared the GPS and still a no go. I don't know why it works for some and doesn't for others. My phone never choked on anything before JB. I could overclock it with no problems, always connected to networks and wifi without a hiccup, but navigation just throws a fit. I've tried everything, factory resets, system wipes, even completely wiped the internal storage and fresh install and nothing, Still fails after a couple of minutes or sometimes less. I've been using the free version of Telenav for now. I really hope HTC, Sprint, or Google figure this one out.

That would probably help with alot of problems. Any chance you can look at the landscape Rosie mod from OMJ and add an approved zip for it in the MeanBean folder.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
My theory after looking at some of the logcats is that a software bug combined with certain map locations causes the app to try to load a larger-than-needed section of map data, thereby eating all available phone memory. That would explain why certain people (in certain areas) have no problem while others do. Just a theory though. All the logcats (about a half dozen from several people) all indicate the navigation process going wild and just eating all the phone's memory until it starts filling up the logcat with errors like "out of resources" and "out of memory trying to allocate 48 bytes" and so on.

I agree Mikey, I'm not experiencing any of the problems most people are talking about in this thread! The only thing I modify is the battery icon that is designed to work specifically for Mean Bean. Great post.

I may have missed it, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get the notification shade power widget or even the typical sense settings tab. Is there a different way to access these now, or is it no longer apart of this new sense? I use cm10 but am putting this on my girlfriends phone, so sorry if this is a commonly known thing now.

For the people having Google Nav problems, try this. Open /system/build.prop with ES File Explorer in root mode or with Root Explorer and change the following:

Before:

dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m

After:

dalvik.vm.heapsize=192m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=96m

Save and reboot. See if that fixes Google Nav.

I concur with MikeyXDA. Most problems are user error some are the base, I know people are going to want MOD or tweaks that are not in the MeanBean. Even my themes that are MeanBean bases are not 100% flawless. Adding that need to have MOD just causes more problems.

I don't have navigation problems but based on your theory do you think making the section of map available offline would fix the issue? Just wondering cause if it's trying to load too much maybe pre-loading the data would help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reynoldsrobbie:
If you're using a windows machine, it is probably adding ".zip" to the file name. Try renaming it without the ".zip", and try again.

I trust you guys to give me the right answer.. I got a broken power button and I need to hit the repair center today. Should I be ok with just flashing a stock rooted rom or do I have to unroot etc? I've got TEP so they will either fix it or order me a new one. Any advice is welcome

This rom is rock solid Mikey. Awesome job as usual.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] isaelperez81:
I would assume the power switch is just fixable.. and have nothing to do with rooted or not ... Since its a physical issue not a software... Am I correct?

If it was software then that's something different ? No?

What would suck is if the screen breaks .... Then
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
That's what I was thinking, but I hate making assumptions so I thought it'd be best to ask
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
Yeah I don't think they check for rooted phones anymore but you could flash a stock rom from the latest OTA and you should be good. That's what I always did.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Perfect thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] isaelperez81:
The only thing I can think of maybe you havent done is re flash the radios?

Don't take my word for it, just giving a suggestion. Nor is it a solution...

I just know some poeple had issues with their phones and it could be the radio, bootloader or Rom that hasn't downloaded correctly to the phone.

We all would like to have the best configurable phone with mean bean. Mikey has done this time and time again, and tries to help and does what he can. Jellybean was something people wanted, and of course came with a price. Meanrom was great. Loved all the options. Missed them too.

Guys we are starting all over and I couldn't even think of how hard it is to decompile and write software.

We can ask for certain things ultimately up to dev if they want to work on it. Honestly dont know how mikey does it all and with a life.. lmao...

Is there a way to get OTG USB to work in the near future o_O;)

Mike I keep having to toggle airplane mode on and off at least once to twice a day for my data to turn on. I just had my phone off to an hour or two and had to do it.

Had the same problem excpet it was stuck on 3g in a 4g area. BTW its not the Rom as I nand'd back to complete stock and the problem was still there. Fixed itself over night strangely
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
I think maybe the being s-on with root permissions maybe messing with the connection. Also I've noticed a lot of messed up settings with the connection optimizer. Try to disable that and see if you are still having the problem. And if nothing works call sprint and have them re provision your account
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I don't have the connection optimizer checked. I have noticed after calling Sprint with problems like this they tell me to do a factory reset and I'm surely not doing that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Same here, no change.

Sent using my HTC EVO LTE and a magic wand
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
Well hmmmm, clean flash is the same as a factory reset. I've also noticed people that are consistently flashing between different Roms seem to have the most problems or using a backup... That always brings problems to my phone even if I am just wiping and restoring. I only dirty flash 3 versions up then always do a clean install. Personal choices all there. I think its like ##78286# ? And you can force an activation again, that helps reconnect to sprint if somehow your ids got messed up. Always troubleshoot, prl. Profile and restart. If you get it to work half the time 99% or the time it just needs a clean flash!!

Thanks for looking into this. My colleague with the issue is on pure stock, so it's definitely not a rom issue. Waiting for Sprint/HTC to find a fix may take months!

Oh, and I have no idea why Maps/Nav told me it updated to a new version last week since you've already baked in the current version. I did notice today it failed to remember my home address. Maybe related, maybe not.

Hey Mikey,

More logs.

But something interesting happened. First, every time a run an app, it forces sense to FC and relaunch. Every goddamn app.

Secondly, my wife, on her Nexus s 4g with JB, is noticing the same thing. She runs an app, then her desktop reloads.

Just saying it isnt your rom necessarily. JB bug?

Can you post a link to the latest SW? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
It is crazy how it just eats up the memory. I think I am going to go threw my running apps and freeze them one at a time and see if it makes a difference. I do see a lot of 'restarts' in running apps.

It really makes me want to get a different phone like a Galaxy Note 2.

Next update I am doing clean install
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
I'm another person who's gonna ask about haptic feedback on the bottom 3 buttons, LOL!!!!!! I checked every thing in Settings....twice!! Not from Power/Battery Saver(whatever it's called) as battery is at 100%. Happened the day before yesterday(Thursday) and right after doing a clean install of MeanBean 2.3.

So yesterday I bought a new white Evo LTE, as I've been wanting one but they weren't available when I preordered. Anyway, opened the box, charged it till the light was green then powered it on. Thankfully it was was running ICS, 1.15 hboot to be exact. The same hboot as my black Evo LTE. So I ran Dirty Racun(already had all of the needed files downloaded from when I fed the Racun on my black Evo LTE) and got s-off, installed TWRP, root, then MeanBean 2.3 on a clean install. Did the exact same method of wiping and even the same ROM zip to install MeanBean on both of my EVOs. The white Evo has haptic feedback just as it should(and as I wanted), yet the black Evo does not. Pretty crazy stuff in my opinion!

My conclusion : MeanBean is racist!!!! LOL

Seriously though, anyone have any ideas?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
If you they tell you that, just do a pri and prl update. They can't tell the difference, as that simulates a software download from sprint.

Just remember when they give you the reset code, was a second or two and then ask what the password is. If not they will know somethings up. Then proceed with the pri/prl download.

I hope this makes sense. You need to do this before they will swap a phone out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yota265:
I think it says it in the op that if you have issues to try a clean install and see if that fixes the issue before posting them here.

Also, the mic issues now that they got both mics working where the person you are talking to perceives you as talking really far away then getting louder, which is directly related to the noise cancellation feature.
