Here is the story
Just got my HTC EVO LTE flashed/rooted from a guy on craigslist. ( Took him 2 hours ). Every thing seems to be working fine with Google now and everything. But when i got home and Went into the ES file explorer to activate the auto rotate tweak an remap menu button but they are missing.
After looking at a Youtube video i realized all of my zips are diffrent from the guy in the Video. I checked and it is running the 5.5 version of this ROM. The zips that are under Mean ROM are 4x5 rosie,kbd-notify-off,kernel-mean-1728, kernel-mean-1809, kernel stock, no camera-search, no camera-wake, screen on-sms, stock-auto-brightness and stock haptic.
I have none of the zips that are on the MeanRom file that dude has in the Youtube Video. Any help would you guys and gals can provide would be greatly appreciated. Loving the new battery percent circle meter.

This is one reason to do all the rooting and reading yourself, then you won't need to ask how to do after some guy did it for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869377
One more question. Do I just follow the steps on the video if I already have this Rom on there. Or do I need to take the old one off somehow. If so, How?
Sorry for all the nine questions. I read the thread you posted but I couldn't find a answer.
The best thing to do is go into recovery, wipe everything but internal storage and sd card and flash the rom. You can probably just wipe cache and dalvik, but you might have issues. Best to start fresh. My advice is to read everything over and over and over, since you are new to this stuff.

Ok. I reflashed the Mean Rom on my phone without bricking it (Man i was nervous). But the same zip files are under the Mean Rom folder. Still none of the features i wanted are there. I dont know what to do now. I'll leave it to the proffesionals (You guys n gals). Or my other option is to go back to the Craigslist guy wich will charge me $20 bucks. Please help me fix this problem
Maybe the dev changed or removed things since that video was made? Have you looked through the meanrom thread completely?
Yep. Read the Thread for like a hour going threw all the post. I got the button remapping figured out thanks to a guy on here. Now i just need to get the auto rotate to work. Or does it still even have this feature. I know it use too from a Youtube Video. This is my first experience wih Rom and flashing so im new to all this. Hopefully i can quit bugging you guys soon.
I'm not too familiar with that rom, I can't say what it does and doesn't have other than what is posted on the first page. Someone will come along that can help more though.
That video was from version .8, MeanROM is now on version 5.5 that means it was more than 50 versions ago and no longer applies. I really wish Mikey would remove it from the original post since it no longer applies. You shouldn't have started a new thread, you should have asked this in the MeanROM thread. You went through a lot of extra steps for nothing. The LTE was updated to Sense 4.1 and ICS 4.04 which makes all the mods in that video obsolete. Go to the MeanROM thread and look at the answers you received there.

These vids are so handy to play on your screen while you update the TP, it gives you a good feeling like: ohhh right and ahhh how did I forget that cmd line etc
good backup, good initiative
I know several people have said the same thing about my videos. Sometimes, it's just nice to see someone else do it first, even though you are more than capable of figuring it out yourself.

I am NOT tri-booting. The ICS that you saw was Evervolv and it was broken. I removed it right after making that video. I will NOT EVER be booting two different versions of Android on the same device.....EVER.
A grateful thank you.
Rev, I would like to thank you for your great tutorials. I watched your cm for dummies several times before I got the nerve up to possibly brick my new TP. Needless to say I didn't! I am running Xron 2.9.1 and plan to flash ICS once its a little more mature. I watched your video on flashing Xron and fixing the prop.build and both helped tremendously. So thank you.

I am awaiting your ICS vs. CM7 review, but since you made the X-Ron video you've seem to have gone to CM7... and now ICS (which that I do understand).
Was the xron before cm 3.5? Just curious, I had avoided the alpha till I found your You-Tube and phtt, so straight forward that I did it and no turning back, plus I now understand more of the root terminology. Dual boot's just a plus.
Soon Root my HTC Ineradicable S HBOOT 1.13.0000, now that I have the basic understanding.

I am working on the comparison video this weekend. I'm hoping to get something up tomorrow. There is just so many things to compare that I'm trying to make it worth watching. Check tomorrow evening for it.
Thanks Rev
Let me add my thanks for the great vids. WebOs was fun, but ICS is the tablet experience I was looking for when I bought the TP.
Just an FYI for those of you who, like me, hadn't installed CM7 in a while and got stuck on the command line screen with a device not found message and couldn't figure out what to do next.
Reboot your touchpad into WebOS. Select device info, reset options, then reset (or maybe it's reboot--can't remember). When the screen goes black, hold the volume up button and the device will reboot into a screen with the USB symbol. Now enter the command
novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2
in the DOS window on your PC and you should be all set (assuming you have the necessary files in the appropriate directories as described by reverendkjr).
When I installed cm9 I felt that same feeling I had when first installing android. But this time having rev's video was a good feeling to be able to follow all the correct steps. Thanks rev

You must already be on GB and have recovery installed. If you are on HC you must follow the directions in the forum on how to downgrade to GB
Use kevinrocksman's awesome tool to get to HC from GB(or downgrade from HC to GB, and many other convenient tools). He makes it easy for you

Stock GB lockscreen
maybe some other stuff I'm forgetting... lol
system rw at boot
phone.apk, telephony and hands free activation removed (radios disabled) I will released a 3g/4g enabler soon
Issues
You tell me.. test and let me know what's jacked up
When going through setup wizard and trying to select time zone it will FC. This is because the radios are disabled and it uses them to auto set your time zone. Just keep pressing next through set up and once it's finished you can go into settings and change it.
Maps might force close once or twice until you set up wifi
I have included the KB from CM7 but the keys are pretty small so I also included the GB KB,, the keys are small as well but you can make them bigger in settings
I am not responsible if you flash this and you brick your ****
DO NOT FLASH IF YOU ARE ON HONEYCOMB.. Follow the threads in the forum to learn how to downgrade to GB and get/keep s-off

A few people have PM'ed me asking about donating. Well, I dont/wont ever ask for donations and honestly I prefer to NOT get donations. I do this work first and for most for me(Yeah I'm a selfish bastard) so I can learn more, so I can make my device the way I want my device, I just decide to share what I make for myself instead of keeping it for myself (I'm selfish, not greedy) and I feel if people start donating they might get more demanding and feel more entitled so I'd rather just skip all of that potential drama. When it comes to requesting things in this rom, I will put them in IF it's something I would use myself. If it's not, then I most likely wont add it. So please dont donate to me, If you want to do some good instead of donating to me, donate to a worthy charity instead! Thank you all for using my rom!
Awesome!

So while I have the rom deodexing(it takes a while) I've been playing with the stock rom, deleteing crap and seeing what will break, also trying to add in some AOSP elements... that way when it is deodexing then I know exactly what I can remove and/or replace
removed a ****load of bloat and useless htc apps
rosie is gone, all the rosie widgets are gone, I have the free version of ADW, Stock GB browser and 3D Gallery all working, the stock calculator is working, GB KB included, The stock Calendar, contacts, camera or mms didnt work but I can try to tinker with them later
but the biggest one so far is I got rid of the Sense lock screen and have the stock GB one So much easier to do on GB than HC!
I might have a preview release up in a few hours
pretty cool man. but i think it would probably be pretty easy to actually build cm7 for the view. I believe the flyer has it going.

pretty easy if you know how to kernel dev without a kernel dev porting the flyer CM7 kernel over or creating a new one we wont get anything AOSP The View only has a couple devs and zero kernel devs which means we are up ****s creek without a paddle for the time being

I asked the guy who did the Flyer CM rom to throw us Viewers a bone and port his Flyer version to the View. He said he might make it a weekend project but not promising anything.
If interested run over to his thread and pm the dev (very nicely) that you heard a rumor he might consider doing a View port and you just wanted to support the idea.
Maybe a little future fan influence will motivate him

Posted a preview release.. let me know what issues you guys find..
I noticed the market wasnt updating to the Play Store.. I'll include the updated APK in the next release but until then you can just install this and it will overwrite the market with playstore. No need to push it, just install it like you would any side loaded apk

Another issue I found was sometimes the unlock slider disappears when you wake the device (just the left one though) but if you swipe as if it was there it unlocks. I'll have to look into that

Sounds great I may hold off on testing until it's done. Just hard bricked my E4GT this morning and I'm a bit gun shy.
Never hard bricked a phone before. Accidentally flashed an AOSP ICS rom over an ICS kernel. Apparently this is huge no no. Complete blue light of death hard brick. Thank god for insurance.
Just installed. Testing now. I'll edit in problems as necessary.
First thing I noticed is that the Setup Wizard force closes if I try to change the time settings. I can change the time settings just fine through the regular settings, though.
The keyboard wouldn't pop up at first for whatever reason. A reboot fixed it, though.
In the settings, the right side of the check boxes are cut off.
Also, the mobile signal level icon still shows up, even though I downloaded the WiFi only ROM. I'm guessing this is just an issue with theming for now, though.

Agreed. So far, it's definitely smooth, and just has those minor issues. I think this will do just fine until we get ICS (though I'll go over to an AOSP GB ROM if we get one). I like it better than Honeycomb already, even if it is an older system.

Hey, all!
Just got a stock non-rooted note last night. Looking into flashing ics + tmo's baseband. I've read through some guides that warned that some ics roms might not be flashed thru cwm, if you're coming from gb.
I've read through 3-4 different ics rom instructions, and nothing was out of ordinary (put on sd and flash via cwm or another recovery).
Is it a straight-forward process or some tinkering might be needed for some roms?
Thank you.
p.s. I apologize if this has been asked before (i'm sure), i just couldn't find a definite answer.
Agreed. New to this device/forum, and there is a lot of caution.. but none of the ICS rom threads seem to have much warning of an issue. It all seems very straight-forward.
I am on T-Mobile, but cannot see how that changes anything.
Just flash
Then flash your desired tmo modem.
Nuthin outta the ordinary
Bootloaders don't change so you can go back and forth between GB and ICS at will

It was simple, just read... then read again... I choose the hard way and go for the no counter route so my counter has never tripped. a little more labor put in to it , but i emphasize on the READ and READ again... it all went flawless.. except that i had my phone with all my data pictures blah blah... i didn't make a backup i was to excited and despite the fact that it said everywhere that it would WIPE.. i some how ignored it and lost all my data that was not uploaded to Google. but it is all good now. I have tried almost all the ROMS, even some GB roms... and decided i like Team perfection ICS objection. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630746]
but its all about personal preference.
everyone will claim theirs is better or it has something that makes it preferable over others....
You can try different versions like me and find one that you like.. I tried each one for at least a week or two before Wiping and loading another. again I have never tripped my counter. so I can allways go back to stock and use my warranty if needed.
Welcome to the AWESOME NOTE WORLD.
thank you, guys! the process was rather painless
a few questions though. coming from htc sense, i really don't like the stock gallery app that breaks the pics into folders. i'm used to the non-folder sorting by date. any apps i can try instead?
also, the browser doesn't auto-fit (yes, it's on) as good as the htc one. any alternatives?
thank you!
bump for a different gallery and auto-fit that works
also noticed that the camera doesn't have an option for a preview. the picture that has been take just disappears really quick. i'd like to set a 3 second preview. any aftermarket cam suggestion?
thank you!

Hello XDA, long time lurker, first time poster. Thank you for all the info over the years
OK, here's where I'm at, after being without my rezound for several months due to broken screens I finally got off my butt and fixed it. I rooted and flashed the phone a long time ago and reading up again I have no idea what I should be doing in order to get the latest stuff. hboot, radios, etc. To prove how long its been I flashed CleanROM 4.3 using the old/new firmware patch...lol I never even installed the factory OTA ICS.
so my questions are...
Do I relock the phone and flash the Original image and let the update process go as Verizon intended then start from scratch?
Do I bite the bullet and do S-Off to make the update process easier?
I'm pretty rusty with the processes. I appreciate any help pointing me to the correct process to take, I'm just confused since I'm so far behind lol.
Thanks

Personally what i would do, is relock your phone and update to the latest radios for s-on which you can find here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250494&page=4 and its under post 35 then follow the instructions on post 59 of same thread
then load up a amon ra which you can download from post 2 on this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070947
I dont see the need for s-off, i can do everything that i need to do with s-on with that extra layer of security i guess. But some ppl love the s-off, so if you wanna try that, then i say go ahead, it would def make it a billion times easier to update to the latest and greatest
Thanks for the fast reply!
Sounds easy enough reading the links. I think I may have been over complicating it in my head with all the reading I've done the last couple days since fixing my phone back up. Going to give it a go tomorrow morning when I have some free/quiet (no kids!)

Sounds easy enough reading the links. I think I may have been over complicating it in my head with all the reading I've done the last couple days since fixing my phone back up. Going to give it a go tomorrow morning when I have some free/quiet (no kids!)

Yeah, thats easy to do. Its really not as complicated as it may sound, and maybe 30 mins TOPS of your time if that from start to finish. The longest parts would be the flashing of everything. Good luck with everything
Good to hear I'm really looking forward to trying out some new ROMS. I flashed the current one and never bothered with it again just because I had some issues getting that one to work. Was OK after I applied the old/new firmware patch. Then a couple weeks later the OTA update for ICS was released, did a little bit of reading on that but just ended up deciding not to mess around lol. Now my wife's Rezound is behaving better than mine since she left hers stock and I'm jealous lol.
Looks like I have to sign into HTCdev again to get an unlock token since I lost all my login info lol. Gonna have to set up all the ADB stuff too since I lost the WIndows VM I originally unlocked it with lol.
thanks for the warm welcome to xda, nice "Don't be a n00b video" too btw

yea, there has been alot of dev for the rezzy now. a bunch of JB roms and other great stuff, Neo, Shrike, Chad and others but not sure off hand have all done amazing work and worked hard getting us JB AOSP roms and stuff. My phone has never run better.
Welcome to the forums btw
I will admit I was surprised to see so much new dev after coming back. when I first started messing with my rezzy I was kinda sad about the lack of ROMS and kernels available, I didn't even see a CM ROM out for it. Most likely due to coming from an original droid that had dozens of options lol. But I'm stoked to see all the new stuff. I wanna say I read here somewhere that the dev kinda stalled out while waiting for HTC to leak/update to ICS. Prolly gonna jump right into JellyBean once I'm where I need to be, the link to the Infection ROM looks smexxy!

Totally agree...was frustrated when I first got mine for lack of support but I also got it right when we were waiting for the ril so ICS was at a hault. It seems since the ril was hacked, created what ever they did it just kinda blew up ICS all over now jb def no lack if support

In case it helps, I attached my "android flashing" folder with what you need for using fastboot/ADB.

thanks, I just saw this after reflashing amon ra. I've gotten it all flashed and everything, but after a few seconds of the clean rom boot animation its locking up and Im pulling the battery. :/
I dont need to reflash the Old Firmware Patch.zip anymore since completing the updates correct?
I had planned on a news ROM anyways, should I just flash the new ROM?
THANKS for all the help so far
also eansrvi

Well, after no issues throughout the day I finally got bit! Phone was having horrible battery life, me thinking since the phones been sitting for a few months I would do full charge, boot into recovery and wipe the battery stats and see how it goes. Well after the wipe and reboot Im getting the horrid boot loop haven't changed anything since the first initial boot after flashing the ROM, other than deleting the images I flashed the ROM with from the sd card. I'm not sure how it could have got borked.
any ideas?
Your on infection 2.5 correct?

OK it seems to be hit n miss on this ROM some people are reporting great luck and then the others are reporting boot loops. I myself haven't had n issue with boot looping. When some people have done was this.
First was to reflash 2.5
Some have also tries the boot.IMG from 2.4 it seems that it has fix it for some and not others. If it hasn't fixed the problem people are jumping back to 2.4. Worse case I have a clean backup from a fresh install. I could upload that to my db and send you a link. You could try flashing that as well.

Correct, I flashed the 2.5. no worries on the db upload, I'm at work and cant mess around with it. Ill try the 2.4 boot.IMG when I get back to the house. Guess I should have tried a reboot after the initial setup lol.
Understandable. Were not totally sure why its only effect certain ppl. If it was ROM related it would seem like it word effect everyone. Try that n let me know if I don't respond shoot me a pm. I get those notification faster then the forum ones for some reason

Yes, flashed the latest global radios. Confirmed by looking at the wifes stock phone lol. Quick question, where is the DL link to the 2.4 IMG? only seeing the 2.5 over at http://androidrevolutions.com/neo/files/ gonna try and move the boot.IMG to the sd card from the work PC, may or may not work since they have them locked down pretty tight but I'm gonna at least try.
http://d-h.st/zCJ
That's 2.4

So yours looks like this? Just trying to see if I can narrow down the boot loop issue

yepz, exactly as your screencap
OK, so I haven't posted much in this forum in general because I haven't had a need to really. I find what I need read and move on. But because of that I can't post in the developer section to ask this question before I flash this ROM so I will ask it here. So I'm going to take the plunge and flash Newts NOS m7 ROM. But after reading about 60% of a 949 page thread I do have some confusion. There were some updates and patches I'm going to call them for a lack of better term. I don't need to run any type of beast mode kernel. So what patches or fixes do I need to add in order for everything to work on this ROM? And I'm choosing this one over the alpha Sense 5 ROM based on data working with Verizon and not working with the alpha. At least nothing has been posted that it's working in all aspects now. I appreciate the help and hope that I can be rocking the NOS rom by tonight before I go to bed.
Really? No help out of 60 views?

If you install the full rom, you don't need any of the patches.
Well I have the full app plus a couple of the other downloads that are mentioned to have off the bat. But has the ROM download been updated with the patches that fix stuff? Thank you for your response by the way.

3.0.7 is the only thing you need to have as of today it contains everything, patches are minor small updates and newtoroot usually will tell you what patch you need when they are released.
Sent from my dlx using XDA Premium HD app
So you are saying that the kernel patch, the call patch, and the other patch are all included in the 3.0.7 build and I shouldn't worry about them even though people are having issues with the ROM in certain areas such as what the patches fix? I'm asking for clarification because I can't afford to screw up my one and only phone. Besides Viper Rom this Nos 7 Rom seems to be the best out there for what I want until the update comes out. This is me being cautious and doing my research. I don't want to sound like a jerk. Just trying to have everything lined up right.

Again.... just install the full rom. All is included.. Don't see how you could be confused with that statement.

All you really need to worry about if it says full Rom or not. If it is a full Rom flash it after that there is nothing else to do.

Thanks for the help. I should just take the plunge but like I said before I'm just trying to do all the research that I need and to be as well read on it before I just jump into something. I'm not a first time rooter or flasher of ROM's. This one just has me timid because even the latest posts in the thread of the ROM is saying there are data issues. So I hope you can see where my concern is coming from. I'll flash it tomorrow and see what happens from there though.
OK, so I just took the plunge and did the flash. One problem I have right off the bat is that Gmail keeps closing and failing. I can't have that because all of my most important e-mails come in thru that. So is there a fix or do I just have to go back to stock?

Never heard of that issue. I would just re-wipe and re-install the rom.

Did you even wipe data or did you just install the rom and hope that you wouldn't have to do anything about your already installed apps?
Seriously??!! Oh just install the ROM it's totally fine. Yeah well it's not fine. GMAIL is broke and I HAVE TO HAVE IT WORK!! Come on people help me out!!

You won't get any help if you don't tell us what you did..... I have never heard of ANY rom that gmail doesn't work.
and YELLING AT PEOPLE DOESN'T HELP EITHER.
Well, it wasn't meant to come out as yelling. And I didn't do anything but install the ROM just like everyone kept telling me to do. Oh and the weather on the lock screen is broke too. It always says no weather data available.
Well nothing like feeling even more of an ass. I never saw the replies I had already gotten from you guys. I guess my page wouldn't refresh. I'll wipe it and re flash it on I guess. I did all the stuff I needed to do before flashing it so I"m in the clear on that one. I'm not sure as to what all the extra apps that I've never seen before are but I'm ok with that for now. Oh, um isn't there suppose to be a swipe screen to wake feature on this ROM? I can't find it.
So G-mail is back to working now. I reflashed the ROM and did a cache and dalvik cache wipe. I also did the lock screen patch and volume to wake patch. I still don't have weather on the lock screen though. And the little click sounds that are turned on for me for when I unlock or lock the screen....yeah I can't hear them.
So, everything works now. Go figure....well minus those sounds that for some reason I actually really really liked having turned on before I flashed this. Maybe they will just start working again too.

So, in other words, all of your problems were self inflicted.
Do the flashing process properly next time and you won't have these issues.
Nope not self inflicted. I did the flash exactly the way I was suppose to. Not sure why flashing it a second time worked but it did. Now to figure out how my nanddroid back up got deleted.....or if it's just hidden and I don't know where it is. I use TWRP recovery by the way.
