Well, I could use a cable instead of BT to play my car audio music and what not.... I'd be willing to give up BT perhaps. Are the gains substancial in battery and what else is a benefit of say the Viper Rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcorv58:
+1 on the Viper rom. Great battery life, even over Nightmare rom which was fantastic. But I'm using faux's v28 kernel since 29 was giving me random reboot issues. Another issue I'm having that is either sense 4 or kernel related is when I'm on a call and the proximity sensor turns the screen off, it will not come back on unless I press the power button but the damn screen shuts off again anyway, so very frustrating when using automated services. :banghead:

[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
for me it's a substantial difference, and I have 100+ apps installed, use navigation (.5-1+hr) daily, use square register a bit, on average 30-45min of phone + 20-100 texts/day... and I can manage to get 14-16hrs and still have some life... 3.6 roms with the same usage I'm lucky to get 9hrs...
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
That's pretty crazy to me. Especially since viper has a lot of bloat even though it can be removed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 05TurboS2K:
Thanks for the info on this guys, I'll be searching viper now and giving it a shot as my first non-stock ROM

Can I install by using my 4ext "install from SD" option? Or is that like doing a windows upgrade instead of a fresh install? Also, I'll lose all data when I do this right? ViperAmaze1.6.5 is currently downloading as we speak :)''

If I can't install that way I'll have to find out how to install.

LOVE THIS KERNEL THOUGH!

*** update***

Installing as we speak after a nandroid+wipe.

Homescreen shown, time to play a bit :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazykas:
*BACKUP CURRENT ROM

*Wipe all except SD Card

*Install from SD>Viper 1.6.5

*Flash kernel

*Reboot
[HTC Amaze 4G] 05TurboS2K:
Well, battery is a bit better, certainly noticable.

I love a lot of things about this kernel/rom combo.

HOWEVER, seems suddenly FB and Pandora "unfortunately stop running" on boot up and then won't run thereafter. Going to try to find out why.

Other issue is my mobil network has somehow seemed to switched itself off a few times.

More serious issues..... android.process.acore stopped running every 5 seconds. Phone is hardly useable, wiping cache didn't help.... link to problem here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40184707&posted=1#post40184707
[HTC Amaze 4G] 05TurboS2K:
Reflashed ROM. Fixed, sucks to start over, especially because restoring MMS/SMS = 4hrs using Mybackup Pro...for some reason this ROM takes forever, stock was 5 minutes.

Resolved at least.
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazykas:
It depends on how much sms you have to restore (my 3000 sms takes atleast 30 minutes to restore).But it should take same time.Cancel sms restore & try again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 05TurboS2K:
Tried a few times, same story.

5hrs for me then for 30,000 messages then probably another 30-60 minutes for MMS.

Figuring your 30min - 3000 ratio x 10.

Strange though, RUU was like <10min or perhaps much less as I recall for about the same number or at least 20k messages.

Oh well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
I use SMS Backup and it doesn't seem to take nearly as long to restore messages. It does NOT backup/restore MMS, but I always save received MMS items so I don't bother backing them up. Titanium Backup also saves/restores SMS/MMS but it takes forever also. I think a dedicated app like SMS Backup must optimize it somehow.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin lamantia:
So please tell me? Some ppl are having better anything? With V.28 then V.29 ...... I have V.29 right now & yes I get random reboots but battery life has bin good for me on nrgz ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazykas:
Im using v29 & i never had a single random reboot.Strange..Try reflashing ROM & Kernel again..Yes battery life is better than v28...

---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 AM ----------

I used Titanium Backup to backup sms as well.But try backup option in stock sms app..
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
No random registrars restarts for me with v29
[HTC Amaze 4G] 05TurboS2K:
My random reboots were worse with stock RUU and stock kernel. With Viper+faux it seems far better, about one a day or so now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
are you overclocking or under-volting? I get ZERO reboots on v29 on venom rom, but I don't undervolt or overclock ever...
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
I under volt by -75ma, but I don't over clock, but I've had 0 reboots.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
I usually end up with at least one errant reboot here and there if I do either... some processors can handle it, some can't... I get great battery life as-is so I'm content =)

I'm not saying anyone should or shouldn't, I just think anyone who is having issues should consider this the first thing to stop doing, if they are already doing it... otherwise they should probably consider backing up and wiping fully, both internal/external SD cards, and if still having issues, then a full wipe and fresh reinstall of their rom with no data restore for at least days to make sure it's not some corrupt data somewhere, be it rom, sd, or otherwise...
[HTC Amaze 4G] 05TurboS2K:
My reboots seem to happen regardless of under or over settings.

No changes but now im stuck in a boot loop, tried everything even a wipe and fresh install.... ****ed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
try dirty flashing venom rom again, and don't flash faux kernel for a few days and see how the "stock" kernel works, if you don't get any reboots, then stick with that kernel... I highly doubt you would notice any battery or performance differences...

edit: I just thought of something... if you flash faux kernel via the aroma installer, then use a root explorer type app (I recommend total commander as it is very powerful and totally free, and has some nice addons, FTP, network folder...etc) then you should delete "init.qcom.post_boot.sh" from /system/etc it has some on-demand specific settings that might conflict with faux's intellidemand governor...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Moon83:
Can you share what settings or tweaks you use for this kernel? I've tried a few things but would like to learn from someone with more knowledge:D

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G...Go Canes []_[]
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
well I do a few things..

1. I use the aroma installer

2. the settings I choose for installer are minimum cpu speed: 192, screen off max: 702. processor max: 1.51(factory speed): inactive max: 1.02Ghz, phase 2 frequency: 918 GPU freq @ 300... I'll have to check on the rest

3. I delete the file /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh or /system/etc/init.post_boot.sh (or both) after the first boot, because these files usually have some on-demand specific tweaks... you could also just comment out the lines that reference on-demand...

4. I enjoy the rom (currently venom)!
[HTC Amaze 4G] EduardoZ714:
On the first page it says that it works for all Amaze ROMs but in another post it has instructions on how to flash it on ICS and it says (S-OFF only) so I'm kinda confused? I've never flashed any kernel to my phone before so yea
[HTC Amaze 4G] ccbm3:
There's the GB kernel. And the Ics kernel. Of you want the Ics one just make sure smartflash is on in 4ext recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EduardoZ714:
Is the ICS kernel the same one people are using with jellybean ROMs?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I think so but it is probably unstable. They use the nightmare kernel I think.
[HTC Amaze 4G] avenged_sevenfold27:
Is this better then my faux v29?

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Nvm it wouldn't work for me I I use ics rooms lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin lamantia:
Sorry for late response but I keep my CPU set to min in the 300 range & my max in the 1400 range. Matter of fact last couple of days I haven't noticed any random reboots which is a good sign...
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
No. The jellybean roms have a kernel built from source for jellybean.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
this is strange but I've actually gotten a couple reboots and one complete lockup (had to pull battery)... it began when I started freezing all google (non-system) related apps when not in use, and when streaming from soundcloud... not sure if either could be the cause... what should I do to troubleshoot nextime? last kmsg.txt?
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin lamantia:
I'm not sure what to actually do. But I just keep a justing CPU till it works good enough on my end. Plus I changed my radio update though even if it as nothing to do with the kernel. ???

Any chance of getting a sense jellybean kernel for the amaze?
[HTC Amaze 4G] krook6023:
Agreed....I know this has been asked before but.....

JB Sense or JB AOSP/CM kernel would be awesome.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
The closest one for us would be from the sensation.

If I can get a bootable sense jellybean kernel I can bring sense 5 to the amaze!
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
have you guys asked him via google+ ???
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
lot of similarities, wifi and bt are most certainly different, will be interesting to see how this works out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
epic fail

Going to need someone smarter than me to get this done... The sensation JB kernel didn't work.. Nor did the one x kernel..

:( fail whale tonight...
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
you can't have success without failure! :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
The biggest issues facing JB sense for Amaze are the following:

WiFi (Medium difficulty) - Amaze use the TI superchip (Wifi,BT,FM combo) and HTC Sense Framework also play with WiFi directly. Fortunately, HTC One X use the same WiFi chip, so we can KANG One X's JB Sense framework's libs (hopefully)

BT (High difficulty) - Same as above, except NO OTHER HTC JB Phone uses TI's BT (One X uses Broadcom for BT... so weird) :(

Camera (Hopeless) - Amaze's camera sensors' interface is pretty much unique... No JB compatible libs to kang from :(

USB (medium difficulty) - again, Sense framework mess with USB, so we need to kang from other 8660 phones with JB Sense for their libs + kernel driver update for JB :(

IMHO, it's actually easier to use cyanogenmod 10.1 with broken BT than trying to port "JB Sense UI" to Amaze (Sense Framework is TOO customized by HTC and highly integrated to specific hardware :( )
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
That pretty much explain like everything even with ongoing bluetooth issues...thanks faux for the great explanation :)

one more question hey faux are we using ti-omap 1283 chip?? :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
totally an ignorant question. but would it be possible to write a small app program that turned bluetooth on and off (and handled pairing) independently of the framework? I'm guess this would have been done long ago if it were possible... but then again, I'm wallowing in ignorance here, so I'll let the question stand at the peril of my own credibility... haha...
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
The app depends on the framework so without a working framework the app won't work either :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
not what I wanted to hear... but hey, it is what it is... A BIG STEAMING PILE OF HTC MUCKED UP POO!!! grrr... lol :silly:

[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Just curious what rom are you guys using. Id love to use faux kernel again, but i kept getting the random reboots that resulted in the loss of data. I have been running the stock kernel petfectly fine for couple months now never once any problems even if I let it die. So I decised to try faux new build and within 30 mins I had to reflash my rom lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
I am just running latest stock rooted rom from sportsstar89
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Hmm. See, the only logical explanation to me is that something with nrg'z rom and faux kernel dont play right together. Ive never heard anyone experience it with any other rom.. idk what else it could be
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaytee20:
I just recently had the "battery run out of death" with faux30 and latest stock. Actually the first time its ever happened, and I have been using faux for awhile with custom roms, speed, Nrg, revolution. Also, for some reason bluetooth quit working. Went back to 29 and It's ok again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Ya but did your phone boot back up? If it did then you didnt experience the bug. If you had, your phone would just get stuck in bootloop with no way to bring it back. You would have to reflash the rom all over unless you were lucky enough to have recently created a back up.

Now if that is what happened, then yes, you experienced it lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Nope, its faux's kernel. My battery died last night and I had to restore a backup. Usually, just the battery dying doesn't do it for me, data corruption usually only happens when I try to turn it back on after the battery dies without charging it. But this time the phone shut off at 4% and got stuck on bootannimation. Your right, it doesn't happen on stock kernel, but I just don't let my battery die, cause I like all the other benefits of faux's kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaytee20:
It wouldn't boot. Fortunately I had a backup, it was a little old, but better than nothing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fubag:
im on v29 with nrg'z rom and its working fine no reboots etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jordin1128:
I know it may seem strange but it worked for me....

I used to get random reboots all the time to the point where I wanted to launch it as hard as possible thru a wall. I put a thick piece of paper like a wedge against my battery and since then I've used almost every Rom and always using faux's kernel. I've let my phone die on its own 4 times since and have yet to corrupt data. I to suffered from the bootloop and having to reinstall the Rom. Give it a try! I have mine like some old battery slots that used to have the strip you pulled for the battery.

I also was having fast drain with 30. Went back to 29. Thanks faux!
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
We are not talking about random reboots. At least a couple of us aren't. We are talking about when we let the battery get so low that the phone shuts off due to it dying. Then when that happens, sometimes the phone will not power on past the bootannimation, thus requiring us to reinstall the ROM or restore a backup. I have no random reboots whatsoever with faux's kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fubag:
well letting it drain to 0% all the time doesn't help with these lithium batteries, there is no memory discharge effect so that sucks, i guess ill keep that mind
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Yeah, I usually never let it get that low, but every once in a while it happens.
[HTC Amaze 4G] danyal241:
I know it says not supporting but I am s-on with 4ext recovery can I flash this kernel and if so how?
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Yes, you can flash it, just make sure smartflash is enabled in 4ext settings, and flash the zip in recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] danyal241:
does anyone have a mirror to the download of v29 as it always breaks for me and am unable to download the complete kernal.

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

never mind was able to download it. But after flashing I dont see the listed governors in the first post through no frills. I am using stock rom .30. The only additional governor added was intellidemand and I dont know details on that also. Can anyone tell me if I did something wrong? I am going to flash ARHD rom soon I am not sure if its a rom issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Does your sick Rom have am unsecured boot. If not it probably didn't flash. Flashing arhd Rom will fix it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] danyal241:
I didn't go to the other Rom. Not sure what you mean by secured. But when I check in about phone it says faux kernal v29 if it didn't flash right then why does it say that

[HTC Amaze 4G] fubag:
can anyone comment on the bug where if the battery runs out it loops the ROM forcing a reflash, like on Android Revolution 4.0?
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
Don't let the battery reach 0% and turn off then restart your phone. It corrupts your partitions and you must reflash your rom. Its been discussed before in this forum and other forums also.
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
For me, it's usually ok, m unless I try to restart my phone after it dies without plugging it in to charge first

[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
Is it still draining fast after letting it settle? Sometimes it can take up to a day or a full discharge/charge cycle. I'd run your phone out, charge it completely, wipe batt stats (optional), and see how it does.
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidemere:
I notice the phone gets super hot when charging using this kernel with stock settungs..
[HTC Amaze 4G] swittindoodle:
i get good battery life on this kernel, i got pretty bad battery life on xboarders.

although sometimes this kernel slows my system down extensively, but i just restart and everything is ok.

my point is that you should go back to xboarders cause it seems you were getting good life out of it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
Mine will do this occasionally, and I am sure it is the result of something running in the background and/or frequencies tossed around by CPU management program.

When I first set up System Tuner, battery drained pretty fast at first - even with screen off settings. After about half a day and a few reboots (manual only), it seems to be settling down. I have the max frequency at max, as I am trying things out.
