Flashing either kernel won't do anything, The kernel won't help. Your data partition is messed up. Try restoring a full back up or wipe and flash or ruu.

I experienced it too!

After a full battery drain, my phone is stuck at beats logo. I tried reflashing the kernel and downgraded it from v22 and it didn't work. I did the full wipe (format data and system) and restored. I worked! Good thing I did a back up a week ago. whew!

[HTC Amaze 4G] RavenII:
So this may be a dumb question...but how to you get the governors that are mentioned in OP? SetCPU doesn't show any of them...

Also, the cache/ram stuff, is that on by default?
[HTC Amaze 4G] phanompin23:
@inyallan:

Me too. But v22 is the official one right now. Might as well revert to that one, since v23s are still in testing, I think...

I'm assuming the random post means you're looking into things, thanks for supporting us this far. I love this phone and still think it's up there with new phones, but HTC is blowing it and dev is suffering among with their company in general...

Either way next phone I get I might consider it if you are supporting it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
023 Beta 4 is out. Fixed BT issue (it's really a work around, not a real fix due to lack of source). I've decided. 023 series will be the last kernel updates for HTC Amaze. After stable, I will go into long term hibernation for Amaze... I may update it when I feel like it (but with > 95% chance that I won't).

This BT issue took me over 2 hours (which I can't afford and don't have, on borrowed time) to find it...

Faux,

When I bought my Amaze off Ebay 2nd hand the specs were so good I couldn't believe the price. Then I used it and with 5 or 6 hours of battery life with moderate use it became apparent that there was a real problem in the design and development of this phone.

You and the other Devs have done far more to make my phone useable than HTC did either before, or after its release. I now consistently make it through the day with power to spare. Thank you for your efforts!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ATech:
+1 I second that. Thank you for all your hard work. Looks like its time for another phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
Honestly, battery life of the Amaze isn't too far out of line with similar phones (That are from the same Era, with equal specs and screen size). It's probably the worst, granted, but it's really not that far off. Stock SGS2 probably gets around 3-5 hours screen on time (and the display sucks :P.. and that's without setting every all black, lol... average usage) Stock Sensation around the same I'd wager, if I remember correctly. I average anywhere from 3-5h screen on time after faux's kernel.. but I really don't notice the power issues much, considering I pretty much always have a 10w folding solar panel (supplies up to 2000mAH current in the right conditions... normal weather I usually see around 800-1,300mAH) that continually recharges a small 8,500mAH Power supply. That power supply (which is pretty small, fits in pockets/pouch in solar panel) is usually always charging 1 of 2 EC TECH 1950mAH batteries in an external charger that takes 5v from the larger supply... you can get a wicked deal on amazon right now it's something like $10 for 1 battery / external charger and 17.99 for 2 batteries (1950 mAH) and external charger.. and they definitely perform much better than stock batteries.

What's really killing this phone is the sheer lack of a meaningful development community (no offense to our devs out there! Just not a lot of you! I'm honestly never buying another HTC phone again.. probably going to switch when the next line of Nexus phones comes around... been having a real bad itch to buy a Nexus 7 lately, hehl Probably going to end up buying one today :P
[HTC Amaze 4G] [Cruzer]:
Okay guys,

Kinda bitter sweet news since Faux's announcement.. But before his announcement I asked Yank555 if he could make an aroma installer for us to use on Amaze and after a few tries and testing.. He got it for us. I've tested most things on it and working fine. Now you don't have to have a cpu app to change setting which takes up memory. Also now you don't have to worry about boot looping if you make a mistake trying to undervolt. just got back in recovery and reflash and try another settings. Well enough of my blabber here you go and happy flashing..

[HTC Amaze 4G] Yank555:
Hi guys,

a few words on this Aroma installer / script generator of mine ;)

It will replace the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file (just as faux's flasher will), but I've commented out the min frq. settings in there as they would mess with what you choose in Aroma.

All settings you chose in Aroma will be placed in one single file for you to view or edit if you want to do it manually :

/system/etc/init.d/99z_kernel

Other files shouldn't be used to change settings anymore.

Also if you just want to change a few settings, there is an option at the end of the Aroma installer, where you can choose "Config only" and that will not reflash the actual kernel and just change the config file instead.

JP.

PS: If you choose to use hardswap, you will have a second script added which is :

/system/etc/init.d/98swap

Failing flash?

Ok so I've been running Energy and had v22 installed. I flashed v23b4 and then all of the sudden I start to bootloop. I couldn't even get back into recovery! I thought it was just some mistake I made on my part. So i flashed my stock ICS RUU and then started all over again to get back to energy. Problem is that I tried to flash the new kernel again and it gave me the same results. I can't get into recovery again. I know its not a hard brick but is there any reason as to why this happened? I will try a new recovery and I have yet to try v22b5 since it came out just recently but it would be awesome if I could get some help on this. Thanks!

Noticed today listening to stored music, I'd occasionally get a short burst of distortion/noise. This was over a period of over an hour and it occurred several times.

I just flashed 23b4 the other night.

The last time I listened with headphones for an hour or more was last week and never had the issue. At the time I was on release 22.

Since flashing the latest beta 23b5. Haven't noticed it.

Thanks for making this HTC Amaze a GREAT handset. I almost gave up on it due to it's battery demands.

I think sometimes a full battery drain screws up data partition. I has fill battery drain and tried to restart phone without charging cause I needed to find something on my phone and for not have a charger. Well it resta rted completely without issue but shut off cause of battery. After that, it was stuck at bootanimation screen. I did a backup, then I did superwipe and restored older backup. It booted fine, then I restored data partition from the backup I had just made, and it stuck at bootanimation. So is always good to backup frequently:)

It's not an app downloaded from market, android apps starts with PID > 1000 or 2000 (I don't recall), Low PID number are reserved for system/kernel processes... but I don't know which on is assigned PID 7...

From Market and download OSMonitor... whenever you experienced a reboot like you did, look at the section I highlighted in my previous post and see which PID is requesting for Emergency Reboot.

Ie in the previous case, PID 7 was the one requested the Emergency Reboot, then look at the OSMonitor and tell me which app that is assigned to PID 7.

All you need is a primary Linux Swap partition (I suggest 256Mb) on your sd card, and you need to chose 'hardswap = yes' when flashing the kernel.

I just completed a Nandroid backup and am now in the process of copying the microSD to my PC. It's estimating 16 minutes for the copy, but did say 40 minutes not even 2 minutes ago though. Once that's all done, I'll go ahead and partition my microSD with a swap partition and proceed with v023b5 (Aroma). v023b5, with my init.d undervolt script, is what I was using with ARHD prior to moving over to the Nightmare Sense 4 ROM.

Hopefully, if the kernel in fact doesn't currently support it, it can be added in the next (possibly forthcoming) revision. It's definitely a feature that I've been wanting to explore on and could be beneficial to this device.
