Re: [ROM] Jan-30 MeanBean v2.9 | 3.15.651.16 | Mods | Batt saver

I flashed 2.9 a couple of hours ago. After reading your post, I played a song on my Play Music widget and also had a split second skip about 1-1.5 minutes into the song. This was a song on my sd card too, not streaming from the cloud. Now I was also reading a few Android articles on Pulse News app, so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it, but it shouldn't skip either way. About to try to get some sleep here on the east coast, so I'll test a few more songs again in the morning and post my results.

Its strange its hard to replicate now. The only times it does happen is when i have headphones in.(tried two different pair)

tried that but nothing of importance showed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
I get a little blip in music playback (streaming or local) when I turn off the display, about 50% of the time. No pattern. Didn't happen on 2.8x series (though I skipped 2.84), except for 2.83. :confused:

Re: [ROM] Jan-30 MeanBean v2.9 | 3.15.651.16 | Mods | Batt saver

Try changing governors to something less aggressive. Ondemand is an all or nothing governor. The sudden snap from full load to min load may be causing that blip. Intellidemand steps down and up a little easier.

I like the intellidemand governor. I'm not sure that is baked into meanbean stock as I always flash elemental x over this. Particularly since I noticed mikey obtained a custom version from flar2 that lowered the cap from 1.89 to 1.8.

I totally understand why he did it as not many phones could support that speed. However I seem to be one of the lucky few that can. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Re: [ROM] Jan-30 MeanBean v2.9 | 3.15.651.16 | Mods | Batt saver

I don't think the governor is causing the problem. Google Play Music was just updated and since this problem didn't occur until now, its likely a glitch in the new version. Also, I've found intellidemand to eat more battery and in my testing at least, it appeared to not kick up the CPU speed as fast, causing a hint of lag.

Secondly, 2.9 is not limited to 1.8. It still can be set to 1.89 Ghz.

Thirdly, never flash the EkementalX kernel on top of this ROM as that will REALLY hose things! There will be all sorts of conflicts, things installing twice, and other problems.

Re: [ROM] Jan-30 MeanBean v2.9 | 3.15.651.16 | Mods | Batt saver

It was my personal experience in flashing 2.9 that it would not set to 1.89. This was not my imagination. I did see you ask for that limit to be reduced in flar2s thread. So I put two and two together. If I'm wrong so be it. I'm reporting on my experience. I resolved it by flashing the kernel from flar2's thread.

I've been flashing flar's kernel since before you put it in this rom. Zero issues. Again my personal experience. My games browser and media apps perform without issue.

I respect what you are saying. It may be your rom but this is my phone. This works for me. Again I don't think I've reported any issues to you aside from htcsync. And I won't. I get that you don't like people chaging your rom. But it will happen. And I don't see me changing that any time soon.

Re: [ROM] Jan-30 MeanBean v2.9 | 3.15.651.16 | Mods | Batt saver

1.89 doesn't show for me either on 2.9 in SetCPU, and I dirty flashed over a clean install of 2.84. No big deal for me either way, but my phone world run at 1.89 without an issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bsober:
So far so good with 2.9. Little over 10 hrs and moderate usage and %89 battery. 6780 on quadrant with all Mikey's suggested settings. This is first release since 2.2 that agrees with my phone. My phone will also run just fine at 1.89, although Elementalx just kills my battery within a few hours. Not sure if I'm not imagining it yet or not, but I also seem to have some volume now. Usually I install DSP manager. Takes a minute to move some files and change permissions, but easily usually doubles the volume. Unless something special comes in next updates, I may stick with this for a while. Thanks for the great rom Mikey

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
It will if you flash the sticky settings and select 1.89!

You may not report problems, but if people follow your advice, there will be a lot of other people reporting problems! The intellidemand governor won't even work in MeanBean: as soon as you turn the screen off/on, it'll change back to ondemand (unless you use yet more tools to lock it down). As you said, you can do what you like. All I'm asking is that you do not make recommendations/statements here that will prompt people to do things that clearly conflict with the ROM. Also, just because you haven't noticed a problem yet, doesn't mean they don't exist and you won't at some point.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Blazin Chaos:
Why does everyone feel the need to have to overclock so much? Isn't the ROM fast, enough already? Doesn't overclocking so much sacrifice battery life and just to gain a better quadrant score? I've overclocked other ROMs since they were slow and needed it, but I don't see the big gain in this ROM to overclock it since it's already speedy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
BTW, I wanted to thank you for doing that (keeping it to PM) already with things like the white list (now fixed). I'm in no way trying to imply that you are attempting to cause trouble! I'm only asking that you do the same with recommending the install of the ElementalX on top of the ROM as you did with the whitelist: please keep it to PM.

Thanks,

Mike

1) My music/screen-off blips occur with PowerAmp, and the SomaFM and SiriusXM apps, haven't tried Google Music. Doesn't matter whether Beats is on or off, wired headphones or Bluetooth audio. But it does seems to subside after a bit.. :confused:

2) FWIW, my phone seems like to the ondemand governor.... :silly:

3) You don't need to update TWRP to flash this ROM

4) SetCPU doesn't seem to work properly with ElementalX-based kernels, and CPU Spy doesn't report properly either. Use different tools...

Just wondering if anyone else gets reboots while listening to the FM Radio application. I thought it had something to do with FM Radio and Facebook running at the same time but this morning I only had FM Radio running and it rebooted. Rebooted two times now. (7:50am, 8:45am).

No over/under clocking or over/under volting here. Set to performance mode to fix blue tooth skipping.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Intellidemand works just fine with this ROM. I use android tuner. Attached are screen shots showing this. As for causing trouble? I'm not. At all. I have NO IDEA what will and will not break your ROM. Nor do I know what will or will not tick you off beforehand. I'm not a mind reader. MANY people offer advice on this forum. I don't see you jumping down their neck about it. Look you don't like me for whatever reason. I get it. But this is open source. If everyone did what you wanted them to do XDA might as well change it's name to Microsoft. It's the nature of android and Linux to think outside the box. Many ideas and innovations have come from doing just that. If you like I'll preface every post I make in here with "You should check this with Mike." Or "warning! I give bad advice!!!" but what I will not do is stop trying to help folks.

I've been here for quite some time. I've helped a lot of folks. I've met many nice people. You and I clash. I get that. However you HAVE been wrong Mike. You were so sure the whitelist was not broken. It was. In fact it still is but I've left it alone. You fixed it to some degree however I challenge you to open some music player and try and open dolphin and go to a desktop version of some site at the same time. Use TMZ that one ALWAYS forces OOM killer to start whacking tasks. It's NOT as good as V6 Supercharger and Ultimate jar patcher (which you are using in this ROM to a lesser degree). But again, I've left it alone. Or as you said I've taken it to PMs. You want me to take ElementalX to PMs too? Fine. Even though it's the very kernel mod you use in this ROM. And again I have NO issues with it whatsoever.

You also told me that 2.9 didn't limit OC to 1.8. It did and looking above I see I'm not the only one that had that particular problem.

I've more than respected you in your thread with YOUR ROM. Even when you haven't respected me. But I will in no way be talked to like I am a child sir. I have no way of knowing what will and will not tick you off. I see many others offering help and/or advice here. However I seem to be singled out for whatever reason. So any advice I give regarding using the original kernel with this ROM will be limited to PMs. Guaranteed. As well as using V6 Supercharger for OOM and multitasking. But in the future I would kindly ask that you send me a PM if you have any issues with any of my posts. Thank you.

And to the person that asked why I overclock? This ROM is already overclocked sir. Last I checked 1.5 was standard clock for this phone. I have battery life that is acceptable to me. Stock Meanbean runs at 1.7. So "fast enough" is a relative term. What's fast for you may not be fast for me. If I can do something to my phone I to make it better for me I will. That is the nature of a free world (and open source) sir.

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mjhuffer:
I'm a little confused on the whitelist.wl file. Is it necessary to flash in order to get the whitelist to work properly? The only reason I ask is because I noticed there was some whitelist properties in the build.prop. I don't really need to add any or delete any so I was just wondering the procedure in order to get the stock whitelist implemented?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
from post #3 in this thread:

New task killer white list (updated for v1.7 and up):

To customize the white list (no kill list), first flash "whitelist-template.zip" from your /sdcard/MeanBean folder. This will create the /data/MeanBean.wl file. The /data/MeanBean.wl file is a simple text file containing one process per line. To find the process name of a running process or app so you'll know what to put in the list, use System Tuner from the market and click on the task manager button in System Tuner. Then tap on the process/app name and the process name will be shown in the details for that app. You can then enter (all or part of) that process name in the /data/MeanBean.wl file. Wild cards are OK but be careful: for example, you can enter just "handcent" (without quotes) instead of entering the entire "com.handcent.nextsms" process name.

White list notes:

After flashing whitelist-template.zip, you'll notice the top 7 slots are the default ones for MeanBean: these can be deleted/changed!

16 slots are available: to keep things clean, always leave all 16 lines in the MeanBean.wl file, including the ones that say <empty>

Each line in the file should contain only (all or part of) a process name or <empty> trailing entries: no comment lines allowed!

The list will terminate on the first <empty> entry, so don't leave <empty> entries in the middle of the list

For the last (16th) entry to work, you must leave the carriage return at the end (so that there's an empty 17th line)

The /data/MeanBean.wl file does not need to be marked with execute permissions: the whitelist-template.zip file will set perms as needed

Recommend editing the file with ES File Explorer (in root mode) or Root Explorer so as not to corrupt the file format

Process names are case sensitive like must Unix type commands: so make sure you get case correct in process names
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mjhuffer:
I've been getting a ton of reboots while listening to the FM Radio app. I cannot listen to it for more than 5 min without a reboot. I have tried all different OC, OV, and kernel settings and I cannot get it stable. Just thought I would also confirm this.

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

I was confused with this. So if you don't want to add or delete anything from the whitelist, don't worry about flashing the whiteliste-template.zip, as it is already baked into the build.prop?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
I only listened for 10-15 minutes, but no problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bimmer082:
I noticed the same thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
If you don't have any particular app that you'd like to make sure doesn't get killed, you don't need to flash the whitelist zip file.

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

For the folks whose phones are heating up with 2.9, try flashing the sticky settings zip, and set your clock speed to 1.5Ghz and voltages to normal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
The whitelist isn't a build.prop file. :) It's located in /data/whitelist.wl when you install it. You edit the file the same way you would edit the build.prop file. Essentially any program added to this list will NOT be killed when OOM task killer kicks in and tries to recover memory. Try it out. If it doesn't work for you PM me. I'll help you out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Wow. I said I was NOT implying that you are trying to cause trouble. Not sure if you misread that? And as I pointed out, 1.89 is working fine: select it in the sticky settings and it'll be there as I already said. And yes, white list is working perfectly. I've tried many permutations of browsers, music, games, and I've not seen a problem. If you do, do like the last person and post a logcat. FWIW, it was working before: just not for tasks that started very early on boot. I found those and corrected. I run the browser continuously in desktop mode and NEVER get reloads because I added "browser" to the WL.

And I most assuredly will not take it to PM when you post incorrect information (like 2.9 not being able to go to 1.89) or things that are proven incompatible with the ROM (flashing the ElementalX kernel which installs incompatible init.d scripts that cause zram, xbox controller support, and other things to load twice, and installs intellidemand governor which will NOT work without using a CPU tuner: something else I don't want people using in general). I have to call you out here for that, period! You are suggesting that people flash an incompatible flash file, suggesting it might fix a Google Play music glitch. If I don't call you out here and tell you that what you are suggesting conflicts with the ROM and most likely will make no difference anyway, how many people will try it and run into trouble before we bat it around in PM's? No, if you are going to make suggestions that people diddle around with the ROM, doing things that simply are not necessary, I have the same right as you: to speak up. If you don't want to risk being called out for misinformation, run it past me first! I have no problem with you at all. It's just frustrating spending as much time as I do making sure this ROM runs properly and is THE most stable setup available, only to have someone turn right around and post suggestions that will break it, or at a minimum, misinformation about things like it no longer supporting 1.89 Ghz! It does, if you follow directions: set it in the sticky settings.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
And I will most assuredly NOT ask your permission to offer someone help. It's not the untited states of mike. I defend my right to flash whatever I want on MY phone. I know intellidemand works. I use it. I know I've flashed the elementalX kernel long before you decided to use it in this rom. again zero issues. as for the "risk" of being called out? I really don't care. Again as you said it's MY right to speak up. and I will. like it or not people diddle with your rom anyway. Changes are made. Is anyone coming forth with it? No. But again don't expect me to roll over and be spoken to in such a manner. I won't. People have FREE WILL to do what they want to their phones. They can choose follow any advice I give. or not. I will still give it. It's the nature of the forums. I didn't give misinformation on 1.89. I stated exactly what my experience was. Using flar2's kernel is my choice. Mine. And frankly I've seen other meanbean users in flar2's thread using it as well. In fact TWO of the 4 people that thanked you are active posters in flar2's thread. They also use it. One even has it in his signiture. the OC modules show up when you choose any clock speed that isn't stock. You can then change your speed with any kernel tuner. When I tried this it maxed at 1.8. Not 1.89 like it did for every other version of meanbean. And you did ask flar2 to reduce the cap to 1.8 on overclock in his thread. He even stated he would make a mod for you. so it wasn't out of the realm of possibility to assume you incorporated it into this build. again HIS thread. his mod. but you're opposed to any other thought or suggestion with your rom or your thread. interesting.

If you want to tell them what I'm saying is wrong? So be it. However I'm not imagining my experiences with intellidemand, your whitelist or the 1.8 clock speed. they all happened. and for the record I used 2.9 on a clean install. The whitelist failed. every time.
