-I recommend doing a full/super wipe of some sort before your 1st flash of this ROM. Personally, I use Superwipe.

-You may wonder while the ROM is flashing, WTF is up with the terminal text being misaligned. Actually, it's not misaligned. I use a slightly modified version of TWRP 2.5 that uses a different font in the terminal screen. It's bigger and easier to read. It's one that Captain_Throwback made. There are some details about it HERE and the download is HERE. If you flash this ROM with Cap's version, it will all be perfectly centered like it should be. So, do me a favor and if you're not already using it, flash it and use it. It's better...

-ArcReactor v.44 kernel

-This ROM uses Arc-Reactor kernel v0.44 (max oc - 1.70) by ThickLizard. This kernel includes sweep2xxxxxx features. If you've never used s2w, I highly advise you read that thread to familiarize yourself with that feature. Otherwise, your phone will be doing all types of crazy things and you won't know why.

If you want to change the sweep settings, go to /system/etc/init.d/00S2W and open it with a text editor. You will see this line:

echo '5' > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake

You can change the '5' to whatever number gives you the sweep settings you want. '0' will turn them all off. You have to reboot to run the script again before your new settings will take effect. How do I know what sweep settings I want, you ask? This is why you need to read the 1st post of the Arc-Reactor thread. :) I plan on writing a script/s that will automatically change the settings, I just haven't gotten around to it yet cuz "5' is how I always keep it set. If I'm not mistaken, there are already scripts/apps that will change s2w settings or turn it on/off. I can't vouch for them though cuz I haven't used them.

Besides the fact that I think this kernel is bad ass, is the fact that ThickLizard is a great guy. He supports his work to the fullest and is always willing to help out anyone that has questions or problems. He represents what this should all be about and he knows his sh**.

This kernel runs great as is, in my opinion, but check out "Kernel Tuner" in the Play Store if you're interested in serious tweaking.

-These ROMs seem to work for some s-on'ers and not for others. I'm not sure why. If your're s-on and what to give it a try, follow the steps below. These steps from the stock ROM might work for you. I'm back to being s-off, so I can't currently test, but I was able to flash an earlier version of this ROM with no trouble.

1. Flash the ROM.
2. Hit reboot when ROM is done flashing.
3. If you get a "Fix Superuser Permission?" or an "Install Superuser?" screen, hit the "Do Not Fix" or 'Do Not Install' button.
---It will reboot into the splash screen for a few seconds and then reboot back into twrp/your recovery.
4. Install the ROM again WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING ELSE.
5. When it's done flashing you should be able to reboot normally, or flash whatever mods you want to or whatever.
6. If you're still having trouble, you can try flashing OMJ's Mod Pack DIRECTLY after the 1st ROM flash, then flash the ROM again normally and without any additional wiping. According to THIS post, flashing the mod pack skips the "root permission" screen, which is apparently the problem. Flash it exactly as paperfairy flashed it and hopefully it'll work out for you.
Actually, perhaps any aroma flash would do... Dunno, haven't tried it. If you do, let me know.

If at some point you get stuck in a boot loop, just hold down the power button until it reboots, then hold down the volume down button until it reboots back to the bootloader. Go back into recovery and flash the ROM again.

-This ROM is built from the 3.16.651.3 OTA stock ROM at the bottom of this post (Sense 4+/JellyBean 4.1.1).

-ROM wipes data, system, cache and dalvik-cache.

-If you use Google Wallet, you need to CLEAR YOUR GOOGLE WALLET SETTINGS BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM.

-Posts to do with SharkieROM-LTE start at post #174



http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/a...pse6b5adca.gif

-The Hot Restart option in the APM doesn't seem to work. It gets stuck on the boot screen. It has worked in the past, so I don't think it'll be difficult to fix. I just haven't messed with it yet, but I will.

-Let me know what else you find...


Not all that important OP thoughts on this ROM...

This ROM is still basically a stock ROM with a few tweaks. If you were feeling my stock ROM then you'll probably enjoy this one as well. It's stable and fast, IMO. The only big tweak that I'd like to have and haven't quite figured out yet is EQS (Rosie landscape on/off and the Home Screen menu, primarily). The one in OMJ's mod pack causes settings and random sense widget force closes. Adding EQS is high on my to do list, but you gotta put it out at some point. There's always more to do.

There are a lot of apps in this ROM. It's got all the free apps that I like to have. It's my ROM after all. Be ready to remove some apps. I love not having to worry about space anymore with this phone and so I take full advantage of it.

I also only want to worry about 1 ROM. So I'm not going to make an odexed version. If you'd like an odexed version, use OMJ's tool to do so. IT'S SUPER EASY, trust me.

I also wanted to say thanks again to all those that support/supported my stock ROM. Since it's release it's had just shy of 2000 downloads total. I realize that's not a whole lot, but it was more than I ever expected a stock ROM to get, especially so late in the game. So THANK YOU. :)

nice.....your credits say 3.15...I keep checking jmz's site but he still doesn't have 3.16

Re: [ROM]Stock-OTA-3.16.651.3-Rooted
 

There is no released 3.16 RUU yet. I got the 3.15 RUU from jmz to start with, accepted the OTA and then incorporated all the new files into this ROM.

Change log v.02 - 4/12/13

-Fixed reboot during flashing and/or reboot during 1st boot issues. Flashing should be smooth sailing now.
-Moved all updateable/Play Store apps to /data/app.
-all apps updated except for Twitter and Facebook. Actually, their apks are the newest versions, but they're still showing up as needing to be updated. I think it has something to do with the HTC versions of both of those apps. It's not high on my to do list, so I haven't worried about looking into it yet.
-added de-odexed version.
:)

Re: [ROM]Stock-OTA-3.16.651.3-Rooted
 

Hey, great rom but i have a problem receiving text notification, ill get text but i won't know i have them unless i actually go into my text....thanks

Re: [ROM]Stock-OTA-3.16.651.3-Rooted
 

I've never had that issue nor has anyone ever reported that problem. Are you certain that you didn't disable text notifications by mistake somehow?

Thanks for trying out this ROM and letting me know!

Re: [ROM]Stock 3.16.651.3 - Rooted; Updated 4/27/13
 

Sharkie, it's awesome to see you back. I'm gonna dl your rom right now. What kernals can be used if we'd like to change the stock one.

I think any kernel will work. I've been using arc reactor with this ROM personally and I love it! Good to see you again! :-)

SharkieROM-LTE v2.5 is up in 1st post.

Re: [ROM]Stock 3.16.651.3 - Rooted; Updated 4/27/13
 

Btw Sharkie just wanted to thank you again for taking the time to post this rom up here. It's really nice to see someone share there work here again and I hope others join me in thanking you. You deserve the recognition. I just wish I had the device to try it out. Thanks man!

Re: [ROMs][SharkieROM-LTE v2.5-6/7/13][Stock-3.16.651.3-Rooted-4/27/13]
 

Hello guys, first off I would like to thank Sharkie for uploading these for us. It took me a good minute to find a basic rooted stock rom and I am very glad that you have taken the time and effort to provide this for us.

Secondly, I would like to provide my basic phone info;
Model: Sprint HTC Evo 4g LTE
HBOOT: Previously 1.12, current 2.09(explanation to come shortly)
Bootloader: Tampered, Unlocked (Through HTC Dev)
Security state: S-On
Recovery: TWRP 2.1.1
ROM: Cyanogenmod v10.0

Third, for some reason or another, during the process of trying to flash the stock Odexed ROM, it updated my HBOOT to 2.09... I do not understand why or how though.

Fourth, Every attempt to flash this ROM has caused TWRP 2.1.1 to kind of crash and revert to a splash screen and do literally nothing. Except possibly update my HBOOT.

I wondered if this crash had anything to do with the boot.img file in the zip. When I installed CM v10.0 I had to use FastBoot to push the boot.img file from my computer to get it to work at all. However I did not do so until the ROM was successfully loaded. In this case however, since the ROM does not load I cannot determine if this is the issue or not. I even tried removing the boot.img from the zip and then applying(thinking that maybe it stopped and crashed immediately after failing to write the boot.img) but had no success. I then proceeded to reboot to the system a couple of times and it returned me to a stock CM v10.0.

I have now decided to update TWRP to 2.6.0(why I have not sooner is beyond me) in hopes that maybe TWRP is the issue. So now I am going to cross my fingers and give it a shot.

Once again thanks to all who contributed to this and happy modding.

Re: [ROMs][SharkieROM-LTE v2.5-6/7/13][Stock-3.16.651.3-Rooted-4/27/13]
 

Well in a very short time I appear to have been able to answer my own question... xD

Flashing TWRP 2.6.0 was the right step in fixing the crashing issue. However an explanation as to how and or why I managed to update my HBOOT would be fantastic.

Re: [ROMs][SharkieROM-LTE v2.5-6/7/13][Stock-3.16.651.3-Rooted-4/27/13]
 

The stock ROM does not update your hboot. I'm not sure how you unknowingly upgraded, but I guarantee its not this stock ROM. That's not possible. That firmware is not contained in the ROM.

If you want to downgrade, you'll probably have to run an older stock RUU. Captain Throwback has older hboots in his firmware thread, but I believe you can only flash them if you're s-off.

As far as your flashing issues, it was because you're s-on. I had a difficult time getting that working right. I finally fixed it in my SharkieROM-LTE v2.5 s-on version that I posted at xda. All apologies for not updating this thread with that version. In any event, I'm glad you got it working.

Thanks for taking the time to stop in and let me know. :-)
