Qbking77 has been good with the leaks, he has guide videos too. The keyboard installs alongside the default, the gmail has to be removed via titanium backup before installation of the leak. I'd check out his video for the gmail one.

qbking77's channel - YouTube

APK : Android 4.2 Jelly Bean Keyboard Review and Install - QbKing77.com

Mirror for the gmail : Gmail2.apk

Rxpert was right on the removal, but so far only the gmail has been taken down minus the mirror on mediafire.

Heard about the One X getting a major performance boost from its Jellybean release, hope we get ours soon.
 
6.0 just released!!!

Changes:
New kernel with enhanced sweep modes (see post 3 for config info):
Sweep2sleep: with screen on, swipe right to left to turn screen off
Sweep2power: with screen on, swipe left to right for power menu (simulated 2.5 second power button hold)
Sweep2snap: with screen on: swipe left to right and press Home within 2 seconds for a screen snap
Sweep2wake: with screen off: swipe left to right to turn screen on (disabled by default for better battery life)
See post 3 for info on how to turn sweep2wake on
Moved system apps back to /system for greater compatibility


Also, in case anyone still doesn't know...Note that the new SuperSU app will show a process called mksh trying to access root. Just grant permission and then open the SuperSU app, click "mksh" and select "disabled" where it says "Notifications". mksh is being called by the framework whenever WiFi is enabled and is not malware.
 
I'm trying to upgrade to 6.0 I'm on 5.9 right now but it's saying there was an error with the download. I have updated to the latest twrp as suggested buy mikey says if you have issues to go back to 2.2.2. Do you guys think that is my issue? I tried "battery pulling" and then going at it again. Same message. I am DL'ing It over my home wifi which I use every time I upgrade. so I know that's not the issue.

Downloaded just fine via the OTA but if you are having issues downloading, it has nothing to do with TWRP. That being said, i'm running 2.3.1.0 and have no issues flashing MeanROM.

But as Rxpert83 said, try downloading it direct. I do that every once in a while when the OTA is too slow.
 
Sounds good that's what I will do. So in doing that It would basically be like flashing a new rom. Right?

What I'm trying to say is its nice when the ota updater takes care of it for you because you don't have to back all all your apps up and that sort of thing. So when I flash 6.0 I'm going to have to go back and set everything up again correct?

You won't need to backup anything.

Just wipe only dalvik cache and cache and flash

If you're s-on fast boot flash the kernel

Gotcha, ok didn't know if I could do it that way I guess that's what the OTA updater does behind the scenes..I'm going to do it in a bit when I get home.

Thank you as always
 
Ok were good to go now. The sweep 2 wake kernel is pretty neat. I like the sweep 2 snap feature. There just one thing I have to figure out. When you "sweep" left to right with the screen on the menu pops up right before you hit the home button. So every screen shot has the menu in it. But definitely cool. I like the sweep 2 power feature too. Pretty neat :thumbup:
 
Ok, I'm cornfused.

Whilst setting up my current Mean version, I opted out of google now. Now I have no idea how to turn it back on. :confused:

Looked everywhere, no dice.

Also, does this Rom have the button remapping and menu bar removal mods somewhere? Just realized the recent apps button goes to recent apps and not menu. :p

EDIT:
Deee de Dee, read the OP. LOL :p
 
Granite, button remaps are in the stock Rom settings now. You can access it through the settings menu

As for google now... Is there a file you can flash in the meanrom folder of your sd card?

Ok the duplicate text deal is getting out of control? Any fix or explanation?
Click to expand...

I've read the whole XDA thread and have never heard of this issue. Sounds more like a network/phone issue to me. But like stated above, try updating your profile/PRL and see if that helps.
 
I have done all of that multiple times. It comes and goes so I can never tell if any of that helps or not ;) As a veteran of rooted HTC devices I do more wiping of caches than you can possibly imagine :p :eek:

3voDroid posted he was getting duplicates right around when 5.5 was released. I have had the issue I think since 5.3. I figure it is a Sprint issue but just was checking. Since I dont get charged per text it is not a big deal, just a nuisance :D
 
I get duplicate texts inasmuch as I have the stock messaging app and GoSms and have been too lazy to turn off stock, but that is all I have gotten.

Hope I don't start getting them, hope you get yours fixed!
 
No these are all in stock...it is weird as hell. Texts from Idrones tend to be the biggest culprits. Just another reason to hate them ;)
 
Hey gang, I haven't followed MeanRom details in like forever, many of you know that I am running Viper4G.

That said, I want to share something interesting -

On multitasking -

http://www.jeffmixon.com/examining-build-prop-tweaks-for-android-ics-a-comprehensive-guide-part-1/

I note that we're running the ICS defaults for vm.heapsize and growth limit, appropriate for a phone with 1 GB of ram.

But we have less than a gig, as I recall, the S4 is mapping ram for i/o ports and also for the gpu.

In any case, we're all used to seeing 680 MB of ram, far less than a 3vo.

So now, I've changed my /system/build.prop like so -


# For ICS project, default 32m/48m
# 128/64 originally below
dalvik.vm.heapsize=96m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=40m


And I am seeing two things -

One, ram now reports as 770 MB.

Two, my phone is screaming fast.

This is all very preliminary. Try at your own risk, make a nandroid backup first.

I would like to hear from anyone with lag issues willing to try this.

I'll be trying everything I can think of to stress test and will report back. :)

PS - tip of the topper to Wes and his report about having to kill Chrome. When I think of browsers, I think about core leaks and garbage collection, that's what gave me the idea.

I figured we had less than 70% of 1 GB ram, so a sloppy approximation of that on 64 gave me 40, and that article said the next should be double or more, so 96 sounded fair enough to me. That's how I chose my numbers, if anyone cares.
