[mikeyxda]

Introducing MeanROM

MeanROM goals:

1. To be clean: mostly stock look and feel of the HTC 2.17.651.5 base
2. To be mean: apply dual core and other tweaks to run the 2.17.651.5 base to its maximum potential
3. To be nice: provide cool functionality not present in the stock base

​

==> STOP - You're gonna break it! <==
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please read before installing
tweaks/themes on this ROM​

Beats support in MeanROM 3.0 means that flashing tweaks or themes on top of this ROM is most likely going to BREAK IT!
Most tweaks and themes are not both 2.17 and Beats compliant so when in doubt, check with the author of the tweak or
theme you want to add to be sure it is both 2.17.651.5 compliant and was built on the Beats framework.
Installing non-2.17 or non-Beats tweaks or themes will cause FC's, reboots, and other horrors.

If you MUST install non-Beats compliant tweaks or themes, you have two options:
(1) For leedroid: flash the ZIP in the SD card MeanROM folder to make leedroid Beats compatible!
(2) In the MeanROM folder on your SD card, there's a ZIP you can flash to remove Beats from this ROM completely.​

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.

Thanks: scrosler, Ziggy471, Virus, Chad Goodman, Lrod0175, mwalt2, Vinchenzop, misfit, jewe11, GruesomeWolf and Team-Nocturnal, TrevE, smokin1337, jeffsanace, thesparky007

Installation instructions:
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 2.17.651.5 compatible. But... it always helps to have some familiarity with flashing ROMs to keep yourself safe.

Before you Install, prepare:

1. 2.17.651.5 ROMs need the latest firmware. See freeza's all in one firmware update if you haven't done that already. If you unlocked via the HTC method, you know the drill: you'll have to take the OTA and then re-unlock.
2. If you are already running an older version of MeanROM, you should be OK just flashing this ROM without a full wipe, BUT...
3. If you have any trouble at all, do a super wipe and then install the above firmware and this ROM
4. 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.

How to flash

Please use 4ext Touch Recovery because it works on both Hboot 1.4 and 1.5 (including S-ON) and will give the best results (least potential flash problems like reboots or boot loops).

The two popular configurations for 3.x:

• Best Performance and Battery: Flash MeanROM and nothing else on top. This setup offers maximum performance and battery. With the overclocked 1.51 Ghz clock (capable of 1.72 Ghz) and undervolting, the included (Dodava) kernel outperforms the stock kernel in both battery life and speed. The tradeoff is that non-stock kernels can be more sensitive to user configuration changes and installed apps. If you have problems (reboots, etc.) a super-wipe and fresh install will likely solve the problem. If not, flash the stock kernel below.
• Best Reliability: Flash MeanROM from recovery and then "stock-kernel.zip" from MeanROM folder on SD card. No need to reboot or wipe: just flash the ROM and then stock-kernel, then reboot. This setup offers very good performance and best compatibility. While Beats Audio features are enabled, full Beats audio quality requires Anthrax kernel (see next configuration).

Full Beats Audio kernel:
If full kernel-level Beats Audio support are important to you, you can try the (more experimental) Anthrax kernels. Go here for installation instructions.

Problems after you flash?:

PLEASE DO NOT REPORT PROBLEMS IN THIS THREAD UNTIL you've done a super-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 super-wipe and fresh install first to see if that cures the problem!

Note regarding BOTH of the above options: don't flash tweaks or themes on top unless you KNOW the tweak/theme is compatible with Beats framework (as of this writing, most are NOT compatible - ask the developer.

A note about the mirror app:
For whatever reason, HTC chose to hide the mirror app from the app drawer in recent updates. This ROM has the mirror app visible in the app drawer but it will only show up if this is a fresh install of the ROM (after a factory reset).

• RLS75 allows slightly lower voltages in the high frequencies for better battery
• MeanROM will tell your phone to boot at 1.51Ghz. To go higher, see this thread to learn how to update CPU tweaks.

v2.8
Changes:

• CPU tweaks and undervolting updated to be compatible with both 1.5Ghz and 1.6Ghz Anthrax kernels
• Updated undervolting to the "MINIMUM" setting: tested and reported stable by users
• See this guide for notes on running MeanROM at 1.5Ghz and 1.6Ghz

Results of above changes:

• MeanROM w/Anthrax kernels running with unbelievable battery and performance now
• New "MINIMUM" setting for voltage will undervolt the Anthrax kernels a little more and result in the best battery life yet

Results of above changes:

• Unlike 2.5, 2.6 does not interfere with System Tuner and SetCPU settings for stability reasons
• Want to know if your CPU tweaks are working? Open /data/MeanROM.log about 3 minutes after boot. No error messages there = good to go.
• Tightened up the CPU tweaks for Anthrax kernels = reduced lag and even faster benchmarks!
• Reduced up_threshold for screen-off on Anthrax kernels = correct lag/skipping on background apps like media servers

v2.5
Changes:

• Disabled the useless and frequently annoying spinning-top mode of the carousel
• Optimized CPU tweaks to work with both the stock kernel and new Anthrax kernel

* If you run into bugs, before you post a bug report, be sure to tell me if you flashed any tweaks/themes as those are often the culprit: not the ROM.
* While flashing the ROM itself doesn't require a cache/dalvik wipe any more with 2.3 and up, the flashable ZIPs in the MeanROM folder on the SD card do require a cache/dalvik wipe!

v2.2
Implemented the anti-stutter smooth scrolling mod (makes a big difference in many apps: no more stuttering)
Updated MeanROM lock ring to a more subtle, cleaner look

Awesome work mike. Glad you incorporated all the greatness into one. Anything new here from your awakenings v5?

Sent from XDA Premium on my EVO 3D

 

[mikeyxda]

Can this be flashed if you don't update firmware?

Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using XDA App

It can be, but as stated in the OP, it shouldn't be. Some people have gotten away without flashing the firmware but I've heard of a lot of boot loops, random reboots, and lockups if you don't mesh them both together (2.17.651.5 firmware and 2.17.651.5 ROM).

Awesome work mike. Glad you incorporated all the greatness into one. Anything new here from your awakenings v5?

Sent from XDA Premium on my EVO 3D

No: no change. Awakenings v05 is baked in.

Nice Mike, lets give it a spin, I will be mean in a few, lol..

 

[drZuheir]

Does Gtalk with video work... please reply

 

[ycats]

currently downloaded, looking forward to it

 

[metalmenance]

you stated "2.17.651.5 ROMs need the latest firmware"
why exactly is this? im asking cause I have tried the stock and one other 2.17 rom
and didnt see any bad, am I missing something?
thanks

 

[Lrod0175]

Does Gtalk with video work... please reply

This is a stock rom based on the latest update with some enhancements for speed and battery life, Gtalk should work just fine.

Awesome rom I think. Having issues getting beyond the screen with spinning red android. Is this normal? Should it take this long for the rom to fully boot?

Did you do a full wipe before flashing ??

Yes full wipe and I updated my firmware using all in one. One thing I've noticed is that the progress bar during the flash process only moves about 1/4 the way through before it says it's complete. Is that normal? I was able to flash another rom following the attempt.
