Think I'm going to give MeanBean a shot, working on backing everything up right now.

My biggest concern is battery life, I don't sit on my phone all day so I'm mostly concerned with how the phone behaves while the screen is off; though I do like a smooth experience when it's on.

I'll post back with my initial impression of MeanBean and my experience with the battery once I've had long enough to establish a norm.

-- Question from me. Anyone recommend a kernel over the stock kernel? Maybe something with better governors or fastcharge?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stealthl:
For your situation I would go with OMJ 2.2. It is an ICS rom but runs super smoothe, fast, and has exceptional battery life, and everything works. OMJ also has a later version 2.6 which uses Aroma so you can customize yourself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OakyTree:
:eek: I've already gotten meanbean installed. If it doesn't work out I'll give that a try though, thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sinistertensai:
Don't doubt yourself. Google HTC android kitchen install it set up and build your own. Its fairly easy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eddy0090:
Myb I will but I first wanna see what's out there before I start butchering ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eg1122:
Tranquility Rom is heavily themed, mostly its inverted. But the screenshots of homescreen are from a skin we persisted. If you wanted a stock look to the homescreens you can just select HTC in the skin menu. Other than the skin, we have a custom dropdown, trans app drawer, custom dialer, and like I said inverted across the board. Check it out, I'm sure you will not be disappointed. Like someone else suggested just try them all to see which one you like best.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eddy0090:
I know trying them is really the best way to see which is right for me but just wanted to whittle down to the few most popular then test from there. It takes a good few days on each rom for it to settle down before you can judge so the fewer trials the better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sofla2:
I've tried them all and tranquility JB works best for me. Your team did and excellent job :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eddy0090:
Can anyone tell me what type of battery life they are getting (with decent usage) on

a) meanbean

b) tranquility

c) sinister

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
I like meanbean.. as for battery life for any Roms at all, really depends what u have running on ur phone and just how u use it. If ur phone isn't able to sleep then ull get bad battery life.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dwmartin6341:
No question this is the way to go! Mikey is one of the hardest working gurus

out there. I am loving MeanBean!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dman918:
The challenge I have is that I am giving the ROM to my father in law and it probably won't get updated more than once every six months. So.... I need to make sure the ROM I choose is as stable as can be. And, since he is not techy or stuff, needs to stay relatively like stock. Ugh, need to make a decision by Sunday and I just have no idea what will work best for him...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OakyTree:
MeanBean has an OTA updater, all you need to do is set it up to have root permissions, give him the phone. He'll receive notices that an update is out, all he needs to do is click the notice, tell it to download, press install. The phone does the rest.

Initial observations: Battery drains a little faster than I'd like, it's a very smooth experience though. Rom doesn't seem to handle data connections while the screen is off very well, I lost 30% of my battery overnight. 56% of this usage was due to the wifi radio, 22% was from "phone idle", and the rest was from a hand-full of applications. I'm going to post about it in the developer's thread as soon as I can get my post count up to 10, hopefully he'll be able to say if this is standard or not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eddy0090:
Sounds like tranquility and meanbean are the way to go. Anyone have any screen shots of tranquility?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fracture8:
Funny thing is that I don't really know what other rom I'm gonna use and enjoy like I it I do with SWG , smoothness , and stock just like i and many others like it and that good ole battery life ,battery life ,battery life this ROM spoiled me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jeffsanace:
If you're looking for stock, why not flash stock odex from viper. It's based on the ruu and will give you as good battery life as you will need. No bells and whistles, just stock. If I were giving it to my dad that's what I would do. Here's the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2045929

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eddy0090:
Just tried tranquility, while it's super smooth its too over themed for me. If you are coming from mostly stock its a bit much. Also because it's inverted the skins that I used previously didn't display normally. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not a good rom just not for me. Gonna give meanbean a spin.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eddy0090:
Looks like meanbean is a keeper! Super smooth, nice battery life, pretty much stock besides for some key mods and options. Loving it!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stupid4life6:
hello guys, i had recently bought a nexus 7 16gb about a month ago, and while i was gone for the weekend, my little sister was using it. When i returned, she said it had completely died and she had been charging all night but was still at 0%. I've tried the common fixes that everyone has tried, but for some reason my battery says it will not charge, but yet i left it on the charged for over 6 hours and its still at 0%. When i got to Settings > Battery > it has been unplugged for well over 18 hours. is there any fixes out there or any way to reset the battery stats? i'm on 4.1.2/ stock non-rooted. can post screenshots if needed. i dont want to keep charging and risk overcharging my battery or anything like that. It doesnt get hot, make any weird noises or anything. Thank you in advance!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xateeq:
I think you have loose battery connector.

and please post questions in Q&A section (xda made it for a reason)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
Sounds like a loose connection in the battery.

If you dare, pop the back open and then check the flex cable.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
When she said that 'it has completely died', did she mean it just randomly went off when she was using it and the battery level wasn't empty, or did she mean that she had got the 4% warning and kept using it until it died? This is important.

If it was the former, then yes, the battery connector may have come out. If it was the latter, it's very unlikely its anything to do with the connector. I'm sure I've seen something before about a problem when someone has used it until it has completely ran out of charge until it switched off.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veroby:
Ask her by the scruff of neck, did you drop my n7. If she say's yes, either send in for repair using your warranty or pop off the back. Since it is recently bought - probably better to use the warranty...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stupid4life6:
thank you guys for the replys, i dont think its a loose battery connector, i popped the back off and everything seems to be okay, i let it charge for like 8 hours and then have been playing with it for about 9 hours now, its what it says in the settings, but it still says the battery has 0%, but its functioning just fine..? idk, its pretty weird but its running completely normal..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stupid4life6:
yes she said she play stupid temple run until it was completely dead, then didnt charge it until a couple hours before i got home and she said it read 0% the whole time it was charging
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acerxda:
Your charger might not be putting out 5volts
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stupid4life6:
thank you xateeq, Wilks3y, and knuckles, it was just a loose cable. Also, when i had the back off, i noticed there was 4 soft buttons but only three that are pressable (power, vol up and vol down). did they have plans to make a camera shortcut perhaps? also, i realized there were two screws that are missing out of the holes. is that a normal mishap on their behalf? thanks for the answers guys, just a little curious.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PVL_93_RU:
Yes, that's normal, because they caused the screen lift in the first parties of N7, and without them the issue seems to have been resolved
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
Yeah when you had the back off you would have seen the empty square bit where there was originally going to be a rear camera, before Google told asus to take it out of the design. Sure someone from the modding community will be working on that.... In fact i saw a thread where they found out what camera was going to be in there, and they were in the process of trying to get it in and working...
[HTC One X] Azicre:
So yeah ... Hi

Yesterday evening I decided that I was sick of HTC Sense and wanted to unlock my bootloader, root my HTC One X and install cyanogenmod.

When I got, what appeared to be a bootloop, I panicked and did something really stupid. I kinda decided that it was a good idea to go into my ClockworkMod Recovery and formatted everything, including data and system.

Now I can't do anything with my phone of course. Also there appears to be no way to access the SD card inside and I can't take it out.

I have no recoveries or backup's and my laptop does not detect my phone at all.

Please help me, I would like to get my phone fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance
[HTC One X] tomascus:
If you have the latest version of Clockworkmod just go to 'mounts and storage' and mount usb storage. Afterwards, copy your ROM zip onto the sdcard
[HTC One X] Azicre:
Well that is the problem I don't

I have version 5.8.2.7

I can't get it to connect to my laptop.
[HTC One X] tomascus:
Flash the latest version of clockwork mod on the thread in development section
[HTC One X] Azicre:
How can I do that if I can not get it onto my phone?

Because there is absolutely nothing there no rom nothing except clockwork mod 5.8.2.7 and the bootloader.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Download it from clockworkmods official site. In bootloader's fastboot mode, flash it using

"fastboot flash recovery filename.zip"
[HTC One X] Azicre:
Can you give me a little bit more information about how to do this and what to watch out for. Like how much percent of my battery do I still need to have, stuff like that.

Thanks in advance
[HTC One X] Azicre:
Just to clear up any misreads or anything, the original HTC sense is also no longer available.
[HTC One X] Mr_S:
You need to look in the search for one x one click tool (there are others) and use that. There will be instructions on the thread though it's pretty self explanatory. Don't panic your phone will be fine but I'd turn it off as you read or you will cause yourself more hassle. Im typing this as I walk so can't be more helpful.

Good luck
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Download this recovery

http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs

Rename it to recovery.img and copy it to the fastboot folder on the pc, now put the phone in fastboot usb mode (hold power and volume down button until it restarts into the bootloader)

Flash it with fastboot

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot erase cache

Then enter recovery and mount the sdcard as usb drive and copy the Rom.zip over. Boot back into bootloader with this command

Adb reboot bootloader

Flash the boot.img from the rom.zip from fastboot (copy it from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder on pc, just like the recovery)

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot erase cache

Enter recovery and do a full wipe and install the rom.zip from the menu "install zip from sdcard"

Should do it !
[HTC One X] Azicre:
Ok, thanks for all the great info guys. Because of you I am now able to connect my phone to my pc however I installed cyanogenmod 10 and somehow it flashed the boot.img and it still does not boot. The only thing I get to see is the HTC screen and that is what it stays on. Does anyone have any more tips to solve this and let me boot into my cyanogenmod?
[HTC One X] kobraxd:
2 things could be - or your HBOOT version is too low or you haven't flashed the boot.img of the rom before/after the installation
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
You mean too high righ? :)
[HTC One X] kobraxd:
hmmm.... no... i mean if he had like an 1.12 version he can't install JB roms untill he updates to 1.3x HBOOT or will happen what happen to him - he will stuck on the boot... am i wrong? :confused:
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
That only applies to Sense ROMs. ;)

On CM10 and some other AOSP roms it's the other way around: they only run on older hboots and updating hboot results in bootloop.

It can be fixed though, but we need his hboot version. :D
[HTC One X] kobraxd:
OH!! About the fact that nonSense roms work only on older HBOOT i knew, but i didn't know that CM is a one XD

so....I can't install the CM10 on my HOX with 1.36 HBOOT? :eek: bummer >< i wanted to try it ^^

Do you happen to experience developing roms? i need some help if you can
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Like I said, it can be fixed. You only have to flash a kernel which is modified to work with newer hboots. It is is post 9308 in CM10 thread. And fyi: GPS is not functional on this kernel.

I am not a rom developer, but feel free to ask whatever you want. :D

PM me so we don't bloat up this thread.
[HTC One X] Azicre:
1.39.0000
[HTC One X] Azicre:
Ok guys, thanks for all the awesome advice.

At the moment I am able to connect to my pc and able so that issieu has already been fixed

But yeah I'm stuck at the HTC boot up screen and I used to be stuck at a bootloop of CM10 before I flashed boot.img

I hope you guys know a solution for this. Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Flash the modded boot.img from post # 9308 in CM10 thread. You need it due to your updated hboot.
[HTC One X] Azicre:
I'm sorry but I can't find the file. Do you have a link for me please?

I have completely nothing to do and my developing skills are limited. I was thinking of trying to make a port. Using this walkthrough, would it be possible to port a ROM from the N4 to our LGOG?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
I would have to say no; otherwise it would have been done by now. Kernels are incompatible, can't use an ICS kernel with JB and vice versa. Pretty sure the kernel is the only hold up for us getting a whole bunch of new ROMs.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ChefAnt:
Derrrrrr I should have realized that. I completely didn't even think about the kernel.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Ha ha, I know how you feel, dude. I would so love something non-stock. On another note, try some of these themed (inverted) apps. I'm using the inverted play store now and it works fine. Just wipe cache and dalvik first.

http://www.rujelus22.com/evo/m/index.php

Let me know if you try other ones and get them to work. Maybe we can start a new thread directing people where to get them.

Edit: inverted ES file explorer works and looks awesome!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ChefAnt:
I was thinking of putting together with AOSP/CM apps. Actually working on it now. :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] blenkows:
Am I missing something? Because when I was on my galaxy s3, we were running JB ROMs like there was no tomorrow when we were only on ICS.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nygfan760:
What he meant is that the Nexus 4's kernel is incompatible. We have a booting JB kernel for the Korean leaks that works fine. Problem is, we don't have source yet, so devs are limited in the resources for either porting the Nexus 4 kernel, or building JB roms until we have source, then it will be a lot easier.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] blenkows:
And basically that won't happen until we get JB for stock? Damn all these terms are so confusing lol

I just want AOKP! Haha

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

Sorry for all the questions. This is all really new to me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nygfan760:
Nope. Here. So right now we have the Korean JB leaks, and they boot. Devs can try using that kernel and what else we have to build JB, but that is hard. We can also try and port the Nexus 4 stuff, but once the source for Korean JB comes out we can work on JB and build it much easier. We don't actually need JB on our phones, or any phone, just JB source from Korea, US, or whatever comes first.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
Like nygfan said above me, we could get the update and still not have the source. The source is the raw, unencrypted file(s) that the kernel was built from. Without that, it is tough to do much with the kernel because we can't read it.

(somebody correct me if I am wrong, that is how I have always understood it.)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Bracemg:
So here's a questions I've been thinking about. I want to root and install Nocturnal so I can get de-bloated, Google Now, etc. However, I don't want to be stuck on ICS if JB is officially released in the U.S. prior to a CM or other JB based custom ROM (I know sometimes allowing an OTA can mess up your root, or at least I think I know that). So here's the question: Should I go ahead and root / install Nocturnal? Or is there a possibility that we will get a JB OTA prior to a custom development? Grassy Ass!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
I would suggest rooting.

You can enjoy all there is for now in Noc and we do not know when the JB update is coming out.

Any OTA's will probably break root, but usually a dev can take it and root it before it is installed and make a .zip.

Most likely we will actually see JB sooner on rooted devices than stock ones (assuming there is a leak that will work on ours).

If the OTA DOES come out sooner, I give it a week before a .zip is posted... and that seems too long to me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Right, without kernel source it's just basically changing values based on guesses with a few bricked devices in between. We could probably get JB without JB software source if we just had a good JB kernel for our device. We could always port JB, much harder to port a kernel.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sawdey21:
I'd just go for installing the custom ROM you want now. If you have to you could always LGNPST back to stock and get the official JB update.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nygfan760:
Yeah ICS/JB one the original galaxy phones used a modded gb kernel. JB isn't too far.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] blenkows:
So would we be able to run a CM version of ICS? Like CM9 for example?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
yeah, that shouldn't be that hard. I'm a little shocked we don't have a version yet. Oh well, I can't do it, so I guess I'll just keep my trap shut about how easy it is, eh? ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
And here I was hoping for cm 6.

It may be possible, but I know cm does build their own kernels...

So probably not officially.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nygfan760:
Someone was working on one, but it's tough without official cm support.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
Right, if we can get sources our chances are better (I believe), but heres to wishing whoever is working on it the best of luck.

Then again, I really do like stock.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ChefAnt:
I was honestly considering to build a CM9 ROM or not, but then again I have never built anything from source. Although, it probably would take me longer to get a CM9 up and running than it will to get CM10/1 or AOKP with a proper dev working on it
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
It's the manufacturer that holds up the source code, right? I don't understand what their reasoning is. Samsung releases it for their devices and they seem to be doing alright, so what advantage does LG think this gives them?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
I know how to build it if we have the correct proprietary files.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Is that not what they mean when they refer to "source"? I believe those files are what we are all waiting for. I might be wrong...anyone else care to elaborate on the terminology?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ChefAnt:
Right, but I just figured that CM9=ICS and ICS is what our LGOG's are running. I thought these files would have been included somewhere. Then again, it would be the CM9 proprietary files right?

Maybe I have this completely wrong.

Don't give up guys! All this is very intriguing and keeps me hopeful!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Basically I followed that guide for my captivate and it built it. Problem is when you put say -brunch captivate or w/e the command is you have a captivate folder with the proprietary files.
