Good I thought I was going crazy. LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] Raistlin1:
If I don't use a governor (or any program) to change any CPU settings, should this kernal act the correct way like you show when set to ondmenad?

Is there a program that I can DL to watch CPU activity but not affect my CPU speed or mess with CPU settings?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yes it should act normal without any tweaking. I think maybe os monitor and system panel might do that but i dont use them so I'm not 100% sure. What exactly are you looking for?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chaotic646:
I know how to update and where to find the latest pri, but what do you mean by "profile"? I dont think thats something Ive ever messed with on my phone...

EDIT Nevermind...duh

Hey folks... Anybody know if there is a way to get rid of the vibration when using the honey lock screen( that comes in the built in tweaks?)?

[EVO 4G Android Development] dman918:
OK, battery life is still horrible. Loaded Chad's Anthrax kernel to see if it helps. Both stock and freedom more gave me about half the life as the stock ROM. Love the MikG ROM but if battery life is this poor, I'm going to have to try something else. :( I'll check my texts and have it drop 2%....

Any thoughts? No weird background items loaded or anything. Pretty much the stock ROM with words with friends and hanging with friends.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
The thing with smartass is the cpu will go up and down if a background program is running or anything. Ondemand will ONLY run on your lowest setting, 245, or your highest, 998. It won't run on any speed in between, so it could potentially drain your battery more because if you run a process that really only needs 600 mhz, smartass will run it at that, versus ondemand will ramp all the way up to 998, and potentially drain your battery more.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Well I can almost guarantee it's not related to the ROM. I mean you drop 2% when you check something, that's not a big deal. Do you have any other stats? IE how long it lasts all day?

Have you tried the battery monitor widget in the market? You don't flash any themes/mods/etc? What is your recovery? What's your flashing/wiping process? Do you restore any data?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
I didn't even realize that was how ondemand worked. I have used mainly AOSP roms and the SA gov so I have spent hardly any time with ondemand until now. Thanks for the info.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evo_like:
would you be able to tell us how interactiveX setting works too?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
Yea I just tested it out right now just to make sure nothing has changed, and I wasn't talking outta of my ass and that is exactly what it did.

The other thing about smartass is that it has a built in profile that when the phone is sleeping it will set itself to whatever minimum you set it to, usually 245, and not go above that which also helps conserve battery, with on demand if the phone is sleeping and something happens that phone needs a little more speed, it will ramp all the way to your max and spend more battery.

It was the first inception of the smartass governer, so it works similar to smartass, but not as good, if you had a choice of the two, smartass is the way to go.

Here's a thread that explains all of the governers pretty good:

Great info. Thanks hit again :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dman918:
I would say that I maybe get a half a day of life out of the phone. Basically all I do in that time is play words with friends here and there, text, and that's really about it. Before the flash, I was getting closer to a day with no change in behavior.

I haven't tried a battery monitoring widget. I can try if you feel that is best. I do not have any themes or mods on here - all the settings are from the ROM itself. My flash procedure:

1. format data

2. format cache

3. format dalvik

4. flash new rom

It's the standard way I seem to see all ROMs say to do. I restore my google account. I'd have to double check on any apps, but I have very little on it.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neitmrh15:
I found that Words with Friends was a massive battery hogger if I turned off my screen with the app still open. One thing you could do is take a screen shot of your battery use and post it here, that might provide some clues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dman918:
What logger would you recommend I download and use?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neitmrh15:
Settings -> About phone -> Battery -> Battery use...is what I was referring to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Well that isn't a full enough wipe, my guess is that you are using Clockwork? See this post on flashing Mik Roms.

There are so many ways to increase your battery, for instance if you are running the rom as is, that means autosync is on, auto brightness is on, always on data, all the apps that come with the rom you don't use are on there, etc. Just google search how to get better battery life out of my evo and you will have millions of hits. Or just get a free extended and call it good. I honestly don't even worry about my battery life anymore, mainly because of the extended but I also mod on my phone a lot so it's plugged in.

You might also check to make sure you don't have a wake lock, meaning your uptime and awake time are the same, if they are then you have an issue. Typically an app you installed or restored is the cause. I think apps like OS monitor and/or system panel monitor that stuff. Also battery monitor widget will tell you things as well.

Search around MikMik, there are a bunch of posts/threads discussing the best battery life, etc.

Good Luck

I am using Mikg3.0 and the new Anthrax kernal and my battery life is very good with normal use. I do not see my battery go down any percentage while checking text messages. I am also using Pneuma's ICS theme mod for MikG3.0 and still have good battery life. There has to be something else going on with your phone, I would try a full wipe and reinstall the ROM and then maybe the Anthrax kernal if your battery life hasnt improved. I had good battery life just on the stock kernal that comes with MikG3.0.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evo_like:
does the anthrax kernel have HDMI capability? Also, saw some user saying earlier about some weird issue where the cpu speed was going from slow to high non-stop regardless of what setting it was on. I take it you haven't come across that, or basically not come across any issues?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Hdmi is a yes. I have not had any weird cpu spiking. I think what you read was someone talking about the interactive governor.

[EVO 4G Android Development] evo_like:
You are correct...that was somebody on interactive governor. I have been doing some research and seems like smartass is the way to go with this kernel. Not too sure about flashing it myself still...gotta find out a little bit more about hboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Raistlin1:
I am using the AnthraX kernal with no modifications to CPU.

Regarding battery life, took my phone off the charger this am before getting ready for work. Got on train, read some emails/texts and checked a few other things. By the time I got to work I was still at 93% and now I am at 89%. When I was on CM7 the battery dropped down to 90% within 10 minutes of removing from charger, and then by the time I got to work it was below 80%. Stock battery by the way and my commute to work is one hour.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evo_like:
Oh cool.my commute is similar. What did you do with the hboot thing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neitmrh15:
The other day I had switched to the weather lock screen and noticed my battery level shot way down after a few hours. I switched back to the wallpaper lock screen and the battery life is good again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Raistlin1:
My hboot was already at 2.10, that is what it came with, I had no issues flashing the kernal following the instructions.

Oh and I had wifi on and bluetooth in regards to my battery life. I should have left CM7 a while ago, so many issues and my battery would drain if I just looked at my phone...
[EVO 4G Android Development] evo_like:
And how do I find out which hboot I am on currently?

Update: nvm figured out.after powering off, Power and volume down at same time, the first two lines.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Notorious:
Make sure fastboot is not enabled then turn off phone hold power button +volume down then it will take you to bootloader and it will tell you there
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
You can also select REBOOT in the Quick Settings menu and select recovery and save yourself the other headache :D

But look at my sig below, those are my settings, and my phone is working FLAWLESSLY, I will not update to another ROM, I would only update Miktweaks whenever he updates those, but using the Agressive Freedom Kernel, I have SetCPU running smartass governer as 245 min, 883 max, and the awesome Pneuma ICS theme, along with the black pulldown tweak from the Mik forums, and my phone is set for life.

Since I have my EVO on Metropcs, I've tried every which ROM and now that I have MMS working on MikG, there is NO WAY I'm switching off of this ROM.

Hey, do you know how to change from revolutionary to clockworth mod? I'm trying to install a zip in recovery and I'm getting a amend deported error, basically it's incompatible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
You can't install a recovery from recovery. You need to change the file name of the recovery .zip file to PC36IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sd card. Then reboot into your bootloader and it will automatically detect the file after a few seconds and ask you if you'd like to install. Select install and wait until it's done.

If you're going about this anyway, I recommend this newer Amon Ra style recovery, which uses the capacitive buttons to navigate among other great features.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sah0724:
I just installed the rom manager and installed clockword mod recovery v5.0.2.2 but i'm still getting the same error.

I'm trying to install a zip that removes bubbles and text from icons in this rom and it won't let me

Amend scripting is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5 and was necessary to remove in gingerbread.

Anyways I have two recoveries on my phone so I may reflash and do everything over if i have any trouble.

what app works best with this rom for using as hotspot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
For 3g use the built in hotspot. If your trying to use it with 4g use wireless tether. I know it's in the market but if that one doesn't work go to their site and try the most current beta and work backwards till you find one that works.

Battery life

Hey guys, I just installed this on a friends evo with COD tweaks and Freedom aggressive universal kernel, the battery drained from 100 to 97 really quick, less than a minute. is that normal? Also have it clocked at 200-900 mhz smartass.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
Yea since all GB Sense Kernels are NON-SBC when you unplug the phone it may drop immediately into the lower 90's but then the rest of the way will be good battery life.

Technically this isn't the place to be posting your concerns with unrooting the phone as it has nothing to do with development.

There is a ton of info throughout the evo 4g section on here regarding unrooting.

Are you certain you at trying to flash something made for recovery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sah0724:
So basically every recovery (atom, revolution and clockwork) only certain zips can be flashed on them?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Nope. Amon ra can flash all zips that are meant to be flashed.

If it says installation aborted your zip is A. Not meant to be flashed. B. Not signed.

If the former then solution is not to flash it.

If latter then in recovery navigate to where it days disable signature verification. Then flash. :-)

Edit.

C. Bad download. Lol. Thanks evo_like. Make sure to check md5sum if the user posts the md5sum for file.

Any other ideas or fixes for MikG3.0?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Scudderb:
I've been dealing with a ****-dead port for about 8 months. Here's my solution (and there is NO WAY IN HELL it involves going iPhone or Blackberry!!:D):

1. I own 2 extended batteries...not the big silly (to me) 3500 mAh job but the same-as-stock size Galilio 2000 mAh...the

real deal

Galilio batteries, not the $4 Hong Kong jobs (I think I bought them for $22 for the pair but might be more expensive now)

2. Wall-charger for $4 on ebay (that

is

a crappy Hong Kong charger though!!:D)

3. I use swiFTP https://market.android.com/details?id=org.swiftp for wifi access and transfer of my files. If I am transferring more than a bunch of pictures, like making a backup of my card or larger files, I'll pop the card out and stick it in a card reader

With MikG ROM and, actually, my stock no-mod kernal, I get 16-20+ hours on a charger with my phone, depending upon use, location, signal strength, etc. That is usually more than enough for me for my entire day from waking until sleep. If not, I swap out the battery and recharge the backup. No matter what, I always carry the 2nd back up battery in my pocket, its small and unobtrusive.

Now, granted, suits my needs well but if you're in constant need of keeping your phone plugged in in the car because of navigation or whatever using it for your laptop tethering you're screwed but that's just my situation.

So that's my workaround with the charging port. Switching to Blackberry or iPhone because the port is a problem,

for me

, would be like having a faulty GFI outlet in the house and deciding to move to a new home...in Siberia!! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
Tommy covered it all. Some files are made to be flashed in hboot, some in recovery. Some require you to allow it to flash without being signed, and on occasion, you download a file and it gets corrupted.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mswlogo:
I'm confused with the naming of so many ROMs.

You have a whole sub forum on your web site for your "MikGinger" and it was last left at RC1 and on that web site it's still that way.

Now we go from RC1 to "B" and it links to a different Sub Forum on your Web Site.
