On a side note though, it is a standard android feature that dedicated multitasking button and from the looks of jellybean, it aint going away. Might consider remapping or giving users the option to flash different button schemes like mikeyxda did with meanrom.

Just a suggestion.

I didn't take it in a bad way. I encourage the feedback.
As for add ons, I plan to eventually do exactly that. Right now I have to borrow my wife's laptop for everything, so I am just trying to do things in little steps. Eventually when I can afford my own computer I can set up everything as I want it.

So far I'm totally loving this ROM. I added Kovdevs ice cream sandwich theme to make it a little more creamy. Sorry I couldn't wait for your update. This will hold me over for a little while.

Saweeeet! That looks awesome. Was missing having the % up there, and I was wondering why my 4g symbol was in blue, but not my 3g. Can't wait for it to drop. :thumbup:

Gotta say, best ROM I have tried on this thing.....granted all I have tried is stock and MeanRom but everything is a lot more responsive and faster than both. Installs and uninstalls are significantly faster and no longer followed by a minute of extreme lag. I'll save the overclock for a time in the future when the device is showing it's age to breathe some extra life into it. Ok, I am a real amateur at this, last night was my first time flashing roms on any phone other than a crappy walmart galaxy precedent so I had a question. When you release an update am I going to have to reflash and start from scratch getting all my apps in the proper place, syncing contacts etc, or is there a way to just apply an update and keep all that stuff?

Usually if the dev doesn't make drastic changes to the framework you can flash w/o doing a full wipe... that said you can always do that but if you experience issues usually the first suggested fix is to do a full wipe then reflash the ROM.

**switch527** · 07-25-2012, 12:40 PM

So as long as I don't do a full wipe all my settings, contacts and app placements remain intact? Excellent.

That is correct.

There will be times, though, when you will be flashing a completely new ROM or something goes a little wonky and you have to do a full wipe and re-flash. In this case, Titanium Backup is your best friend. You can run a batch command to have it backup all of your apps and data at once. Then after you flash something new, all you have to do is install Titanium Backup from the market, then run a batch command to restore all of your apps.

**newboyx** · 07-25-2012, 01:47 PM

I always recommend a full wipe just in case, but if I make any changes that require a full wipe I will let you know.
If you are coming from a different ROM you should always do a full wipe.

Just flashed this. First ROM on my newly rooted EVO LTE. This is awesome. Great work!

Changes in Version 1.1
Signal Bars now in ICS blue
3G Data now in ICS blue
1x Data now in ICS blue

AOSP Message icon
AOSP People/Contacts icon
AOSP Camera icon
Battery %
Removed SetCPU (it is available in the market)

This update is 100 % cosmetic

**switch527** · 07-26-2012, 04:37 AM

Awesome update...only issue is now when charging the battery indicator doesn't move like it normally does when charging. The blue seems to just stay at the bottom of the battery until you unplug it. Not a huge issue, just a little quirk. Thank for all your hard work!

I noticed this at first. For me it would usually pop on after a minute or two.

I've yet to root, but does this ROM correct the Multi-tasking issue at all?

I kind of want to see if they develop a way to achieve S-OFF with the OTA, because I wanted to back-up my stock ROM w/o having to wipe everything due to the HTC Dev Unlock but the multitasking is sort of driving me insane.

It doesn't officially fix the multitasking, but due to a lot less background processes it is a bit better. There are a few multitasking fixes on xda, but the real fix will be when we get updated kernel source and get some custom kernels to truly fix the issue.

Thanks.

Excuse my noobness to the inner-workings, but hasn't HTC released the kernel source for the E4GLTE? Wouldn't that be sufficient to either fix the issue or at the very least port an ASOP ROM to the phone where all of the features work?

I strongly doubt that HTC is going to fix the issue, no OEM has had a good track record of correcting things they deem as not being problems sadly.

I will check when I get home, but I think they released kernel source for 1.13 not 1.22. I could be wrong.

The kernel source is not the full OS. It is the code that communicates between the OS that you see (Sense), and the actual hardware. So yes, having the kernel is going to help, but it's still going to take some time to 1. understand how the kernel works as written, and 2. figure out how to modify it so that memory management is fixed. And it's not a simple plug-and-play to get it working with an AOSP ROM (AOKP or CM9/10). The devs are working on it to be sure. We'll start seeing some progress in the near future.

It was the 1.13 kernel.

It was the 1.13 kernel.

Thanks,

I write software for a living, so I do understand that it takes time since they essentially have to reverse engineer the code. I just wanted clarification on the kernel being the "missing link" and that HTC released it.

Now since they released the kernel for 1.13, does that mean anyone that is on the OTA is essentially up the creek? As of now there seems to be no way to revert to an older RUU that I've seen and no methods to turn S-OFF after the OTA.

Just flashed CleanROM last night.

[Batch restored all my apps/data via Titanium, but some ROM apps (calendar/clock) kept crashing. Re-flashed the ROM, re-downloaded all my apps from the market, no more conflicts, so far...]

The good stuff:
- I am stupid happy about the camera button waking the screen (Also, love having a menu button again).
- The current status bar looks great (except the battery indicator, which I'll get to in a moment).
- Everything seems to fly on this ROM. Just solid.

Some issues:
- The battery % indicator is a bit too small for me to read, even when I really focus on it.
- Like a previous poster mentioned, my battery bar doesn't move at all while charging.
- Battery % indicator doesn't seem to adjust real-time (fully charged, surfed the net for 20 minutes straight, battery still read "100").
- No Swype :[
- No easy way to switch between keyboards (the ONLY thing I liked about stock Sense was the keyboard switcher in the status bar).
- Also mentioned previously, auto-brightness leaves the screen a bit too dim.

Finally, I'm still trying to find a ROM that lets me toggle GPS with a single click on ICS. Only the stock Power Control widget seems to allow this :/

All in all, this is better than the other ROMs I've tried so far. Well done, and looking forward to updates. Thanks for your hard work!

**newboyx** · 08-01-2012, 01:31 PM

Thanks! I should be will be addressing several of those issues in the next update.

I would recommend everyone to use es file explorer to delete Google Wallet from sys/app and install the new version available in the market. I was previously using the hacked version from before it was allowed to be used on our phones. I didn't have a reason to switch to the legit version because there was nothing to gain. With today's update to the app it is much more functional. The upcoming update to the ROM will be using the version from the Play Store, but I thought you guys might want to use the much improved version now.
Instructions :
Reset Google Wallet (Menu - Settings - Reset Google Wallet)
In ES File Explorer settings enable Root Explorer and enable Mount File System
Grant ES File Explorer SU access
Exit out of settings
Click the Favorites icon on the top left of the screen
Click on the phone icon
Navigate and click on the folder labeled System
Now click on the folder labeled app
Navigate to the Google Wallet app
Long press on the app and select the option to delete and confirm deletion
Reboot phone
Now open the Play Store and search for and install Google Wallet
Enjoy the new found freedom of using any card you want.
You can ignore the message in the app that says unsupported device, the app will function properly (I bought some cookies from McDonalds about an hour ago).

PS...
I have 1% battery working
