+1... Its been a long time since a visiting team has left Qwest Field with their head up
Sent from my EVO using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
@ Mikey The only I issues I had was using the volume to skip tracks while screen off. It worked every time I skipped the first track but it stops working after that, This was really annoying while @ the gym. I tried htc and google music apps it did the same thing. And also it seems like the htc keyboard is kinda slow, I like to use the trace option but it just seems like I have to slow down and wait for it to catch up before I can trace the next word. Other than that I have not had any other problems. Thanks Mikey!

I noticed some talk about this in the Superjelly thread. It seems to be something that HTC added in there from the OTA. I have it frozen on my phone and it has caused no issues. I am not sure why HTC added this... maybe they accidentally pushed out a test build instead of a final build via OTA, but I don't like the idea of a remote access app being live on my phone without my knowledge.
1) Yes, I have TiBu installed and running on my phone. I followed these steps
>>1 flash rom
>>2 download TiBu and key from market
>>3 Restore App only for all non-system apps
>>4 Restore Data only for all games and non-cloud based services
>>5 Log in to any cloud based services
>>6 Wait the hour or so for everything to sync up
2) No, I don't believe I logged in.
I just had my wifi toggle widget freeze earlier today and didn't think to save the logcat files. I had turned on Airplane mode and for some reason that turned on my wifi and it was stuck on until I removed the wifi widget. Then I was able to go in to settings and turn off wifi and re-add the widget.
If needed, I can try using something like Rom Toolbox to back up my apps and do a clean install that way. It would have to wait until I get home from work tonight, but I can add that to my to-do list if it will help.
Just another data point.
I use TiB, but haven't restored or disabled anything (I try to wait until I have a stable consistent experience before mucking around with anything). I also use Facebook and have logged in. (Clean wipe at 0.1 and dirty through 0.5) - Nova Prime user.
I don't use any HTC widgets though, and it seems like those are the only ones having issues (I could be wrong). All of my other widgets have been working fine (Business Calender, Tasks, Pandora, TuneIn Pro, Gone Mad Music Player, Gentle Alarm, Evernote, Catch, Atimer, anMoney)
Maps and Navigations working fine.
Only issues I've had are some FCs on random apps hear and there, nothing reliably reproducible thus far.
There's also crackle in my music some times when I have headphones plugged in (didn't hear it on bluetooth, wasn't there on ICS), still trying to isolate the variables to this (wifi, mobile data, etc).
Hey everyone. Just thought I'd let you know there will be a video up soon! Just gotta edit and trim it down a LOT!

When I set priority to 1, I don't get the "hole" but the toggles are at the bottom as other notifications come in - see below. Am I missing something?
Mikey seems to like the idea so maybe it will be baked into MeanBean soon after the dust settles a bit. I will use it in the mean time

I don't have it my drop down, did you set the notification to 1 and transparent?

Same here app + data from cm10 to mean and back since getting my phone and haven't had 1 problem. As stated above no system apps tho
Full wipe, flashed 0.4, upgraded to 0.5, was only on 0.4 for a few hours.
Never had a widget crash, but now some are unresponsive, so I'm assuming they are crashing.
I do use TiBu and Facebook, and yes I restore almost everything with TiBu, always have.
But I have another issue. ANYTHING that messes with /system about 40% of the time will cause the phone to reboot, another 40% of the time is just does not work, the remaining 20% of the time it says it works but is gone after a reboot. AdFree, Secure Settings Helper, trying to restore system apps with TiBu, Fake GPS, and Cerberus have all had this issue.
I AM on the latest HBoot and Firmware. I HAVE tried a full wipe to fix this.
Anyone else seen this issue? I read the new hboot would keep you from making /system rw, but that viperboy fixed this in the base he released?
EDIT: my /system/etc/hosts file that AdFree calimed to have updated is simply full of @@@@@@@@ now.
Going to try mounting manually in the shell and creating some files in /system to test further and will report back.

Just FYI - Holding home on the lock screen does not bring up Google Now. At least not for me.
+1 for volume buttons only skipping tracks one time then not working.
I did a factory reset, wipes 3x, fresh install. I too was get FC on clock and music player. I now just have the 4x1 Weather Clock and it hasn't FC'd yet. I'm on 0.5.
1. I do have TB and only used it once to uninstall Google Search and never used it to restore anything. I re-installed everything from Play store.
2. Yes to facebook and logged in.
Was up till 4am installing after not being on here in a while only to find all sorts of jellybean heaven and MeanBean of course. Full wipe and install of v0.5. Everything is running pretty decent, was a little disappointed with the update and the lack of difference from ICS to JB, however its whatever. I did have a couple of questions. I am getting lag even after everything has spent all night syncing, any ideas? Also, I don't see a "HTC Software Update" as an option anymore, is there a reason? Also, how do I change the bootanimations for start and power down?? Anywho, keep up the good work devs!! oh **** and MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!:good:

Credit where credit is due:
As with any open source stuff, some of this work is my own, most of it comes from other sources. So in addition to my own work (mostly in the "mean" category), here's a quick thanks to those of you who contributed knowingly (thank you) and not-so-knowingly via open source 5 finger discount (thank you just the same: your stuff is good and that's why I used it). Sometimes it's not entirely obvious where the source started so if I missed someone, please let me know and I'll add you. Also, I'm careful to only include other work where the author does not specify any usage restrictions or has given approval. If you believe, however, that I've included something that shouldn't be in this ROM, please just PM me.
Credit diestarbucks for pulling and deodexing the stock base
Perpetual thanks to il Duce and Steal25 for ongoing collaborations on various projects!
Thanks banccalif for the graphics!
Want my stuff?:
If you see something in this ROM and I don't reference some other source, I probably coded it myself. If you want it: take it and use it in your ROM, your theme, whatever you like. I just ask that you please credit me. I'm a firm believer in Android and open source so you don't even have to ask. Anything you see here... it's yours for just the price of a simple line crediting me. I always share as I believe that's the way we developers put the power in Android... and one way we can fight "the Apple brainwashing machine".
Below are some pointers on updating your firmware, installing recoveries, modding, etc. before we get to the good stuff (installation and downloads).
How to adjust some parameters like performance-vs-battery, screen on with new SMS, etc.
See post 3 below
CHANGELOG:
See post #2
Problems after you flash?:
PLEASE DO NOT REPORT PROBLEMS IN THIS THREAD UNTIL you've done a full wipe and fresh install to see if that cures it. I know I should really just do like most devs and proclaim REQUIRES FULL WIPE/FRESH INSTALL on every version. That saves me a lot of headaches but I know what a PITA a fresh install can be even with MyBackup or Titanium at your disposal. So it never hurts to try just a flash without a full wipe, but if you run into any HINT of a problem... anything at all... don't report the problem in this thread until you've tried a full wipe and fresh install first to see if that cures the problem!
Note regarding tweaks: don't flash tweaks or themes on top unless you KNOW the tweak/theme is compatible with the JB framework (as of this writing, most are NOT compatible - ask the developer.
Installation - a final note:
First, the usual disclaimers. I supply the ammo, you use it. ROMS don't kill phones, n00bs do. Use this ROM at your own risk as I won't be responsible for bricks or any other untoward happenings. I spent a lot of time ensuring that the stuff in this ROM is fast, smooth, and compatible. But... it always helps to have some familiarity with flashing ROMs to keep yourself safe.
Download links are below, but before flashing any custom ROM, make sure you do it right or you could brick the NFC chip in your phone (and Google Wallet)
Firmware (applies to s-off users)
Note: unlike the ROM itself, firmware is NOT flashed via TWRP recovery. Firmware is flashed via the bootloader by placing PJ75IMG.zip on the root of your /sdcard2 and rebooting into bootloader!
Also: once the bootloader firmware install has completed, don't forget to delete the PJ75IMG.zip file after your phone boots the first time.
READ CAREFULLY TO AVOID BRICKING YOUR DEVICE!
The latest full firmware (radio, etc.) is recommended. Check the firmware by pressing Menu while on your home screen, choose "Settings", "About" (bottom of list), "Software Information", "More". If your baseband is less than 1.12.11.1210, you have old firmware and should update else you could have problems with your data connection, reboots, etc. If you're s-off, you can flash the 3.16 firmware via one of the options here. Please do not use other firmware sources or you may brick your device! Note that both the full 3.16 firmware and the new touch panel firmware are recommended for best performance, but be aware that the new touch panel firmware will only work with 3.16 based ROMs! If you tend to switch between 3.15 and 3.16 ROMs or you like to try AOSP ROMs, stick with the old touch panel firmware and don't flash the touch panel update.
Now to installation of the ROM itself...
s-off installation
- Always make a Nandroid backup before installing anything on your phone!
- On first install of MeanBean, do a full wipe (at least a factory reset)
- Subsequent updates: no wiping necessary BUT...
- If you have any trouble at all, do a full wipe and then reinstall
- Install using TWRP recovery (again, s-off recommended)
- After the first boot on a fresh install, go to "Menu", "Settings", "Power" and UNcheck "Fast Boot". When you reboot or power off the phone, you really want it to reboot/power-off. This can save you a lot of headaches.
s-on installation
Note that with s-on, TWO things must be flashed separately: the ROM ZIP and the kernel inside that ZIP. The built in kernel installer (thanks Haus) will take care of this without any extra work on your part: just flash with TWRP! Follow the instructions below, however, so you'll know what to expect because there are some pauses and an extra reboot involved whenever the kernel in the ROM is updated.
- Boot to TWRP recovery (hold vol down and press power for 1 second while you continue holding vol down until you see the bootloader, then choose "recovery")
- Always make a Nandroid backup before installing anything on your phone!
- On first install of MeanBean, do a full wipe (at least a factory reset)
- Subsequent updates: no wiping necessary BUT...
- If you have any trouble at all, do a full wipe and then reinstall
- In TWRP recovery, choose "Install" and locate the ROM ZIP you downloaded and begin the install.
- The installation will usually complete relatively quickly but if a new boot.img is included in the ROM, it may take 5 minutes or longer to flash: please be patient!
- When the installation is complete, if you see the word "Look!" in large text, a new boot.img was flashed and you are not done yet! In that case, continue to the next step. If you do NOT see the word "Look!", you can reboot and you are done flashing.
- When the word "Look!" appears, simply "reboot system" normally from recovery. Your phone will begin to boot but will reboot during the boot animation and then boot back to recovery. At that point, simply flash the ROM a second time from recovery to complete the install. This process is required for the s-on installer to do its job. Once you install the ROM a second time and reboot, your phone will boot normally.
- After the first boot on a fresh install, go to "Menu", "Settings", "Power" and UNcheck "Fast Boot". When you reboot or power off the phone, you really want it to reboot/power-off. This can save you a lot of headaches.
s-on additional notes
- If you have a new phone and are starting from scratch, use these instructions to unlock your phone and install TWRP recovery. These instructions work for all current software including the latest 3.16. Follow all steps up through and including step 28, except in step 25, use the latest openrecovery*.img file from here instead of the old 2.1.8 version listed on the page. Once you successfully complete step 28, you can boot to recovery and install MeanBean.
- If you've already unlocked via the HTC method above and you already have TWRP recovery installed, use the above instructions but if you have any trouble, here are instructions on how to manually install the ROM and kernel separately.
- Have trouble after trying to flash s-on: reread the s-on instructions above and be sure to follow each step. If you have done that and still have trouble, try this info.
- Updating your firmware to the 3.16 RUU is another story altogether so I'll leave the firmware/radio updates to other threads.
Note about TWRP recovery: TWRP 2.4.1.0 recommended (required if running the latest touch panel firmware).
... you're gonna break it!
Don't flash any other mods, tweaks, or themes unless they specifically say they are built for (the latest version of) MeanBean or you WILL break features in this ROM and/or cause instability! While this ROM is designed to have the general look/feel of Sense 4+, it is highly customized under the hood and mods, tweaks, or themes not designed specifically for this ROM will cause problems. If you want this ROM to run perfectly without any issues, do not flash anything on top. For OMJ mod pack compatibility, see post 3.
Latest releases:
- Main file listing
- Latest 3.09
- Latest 3.09 (mirror)
- After flashing the ROM, flash /sdcard/MeanBean/stickysettings.zip to set your favorite options. You can flash stickysettings.zip after flashing the ROM: no need to reboot first.
- Note: if you have any stability problems, flash /sdcard/MeanBean/stickysettings.zip and choose "Stock" kernel to turn overclocking and kernel mods off (see post 3)

Flash stickysettings.zip in /sdcard/MeanBean to choose ROM settings such as overclocking, button layouts, haptic feedback settings, button brightness and much more. When you choose your settings in the Aroma installer, they will stick and survive dirty ROM updates, so you only have to flash stickysettings.zip when you want to change options! There is no longer any need to create or edit the ROM settings in /data/MeanBean.opt because the stickysettings.zip Aroma installer now builds that file for you based on your selections!
Overclocking: The ROM installs with the stock kernel with no mods (no OC, governors, zRAM, and Xbox controller support). To enable these options, flash the stickysettings.zip Aroma installer and choose "Modified" on the kernel options. This will open up kernel options and you can select what you like. The recommended settings for a modified kernel are the defaults. If you have trouble with reboots, apps closing, or other "random" problems, your phone probably can't run the current overclocking setting. Just flash the sticky settings, reduce the OC setting, reboot, and run an AnTuTu benchmark. If the AnTuTu benchmark closes when you run it (disappears), you are still running too fast: just keep backing off the OC setting until your phone (AnTuTu) is stable. Note that choosing "Max" for the voltage will typically let you run higher levels of OC.
WiFi Tether: If you have problems with WiFi Tether, run it once and choose "Auto" configuration in the settings. Then reboot and it should fix the problems. Also, try using "open" (no security): a few people have reported problems using security (WEP, WPA) on Jelly Bean with this app.
New user customizable white (no kill) list sticky settings
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

69UPDATE
MeanBean 3.0 based on 3.16 is just about ready. Everything is done and it is in final testing now. Release later today. We will lose fapple and music box at least temporarily, but everything else is good to go.
Worked through the night last night on it... so just about blind now.
Mike47sweet! mikey is a animal! any problems and your rite on it.. HTC should hire you to dev for them!!!
Thanks. At least now I know not to try to pull an all nighter as those two fails were in the middle of the night when I had gone about cross-eyed. The rest are OK as I took a 4 hour "nap".
BTW, I'm right there with you on the ishh. 2012 was the worst year of my life. Lost my dad (heart attack), my wife (divorce), half my time with the kids (divorce), and lots of other smaller stuff, so I can relate. Business for me hasn't been good either: mine is slower to recover from the economy I think. Hoping for a better 2013. Things seem to be "healing" but the "distraction" of my Android work and you all here has certainly helped keep my mind from crashing. So I'm thankful for this group too!
Mike
