Best ROM?

Well, if you insist on ICS, your choices are OK.

But, until the approved ICS rom appears, you may

get the best battery mileage with the latest GBread 2.01.605.11.

I have tried them ALL, and come back to a daily driver

of GB that's rooted and cleaned out with Titanium Backup.

It runs smooth, no FC's, and does everything I need without

any issues. Only the programs I use are installed or

loaded on startup. Once you get it the way you like, Nandroids will

allow you to jump around, try new stuff, then go back to what you like.

Venasaur 3.2 or cleanrom dev 1.4. Period.!
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
The best ROM is which ever ROM runs the best on your phone.

From my experience, the best way is to read the OP of the ROMs you are interested in, narrow it down to say 3-4 ROMs and try them out.

There is a good amount to choose from, GingerBread, ICS sense 3.5 to Sense 4.0

it looks like miui has even come too.

I will not go into anything DEV related, as I don't use ROMs based on the Dev, I use it based on how well it runs on my phone.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Nils' Business ICS 4.1 is my choice for Sense 3.6 out of everything I've tried. Great sound quality for Bluetooth audio. Everything works, no FCs, smooth, great theming. Love it!

[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:

[HTC Rezound] amallah:
This is totally subjective, but the first step is to figure out if you like Sense or not. That will help narrow it down by 50% :)

Beyond that, just try a bunch that have healthy threads and update frequency, and you can't go wrong.
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
Newt's XXX RLS1 is the best ROM I've run to date. Sense 4 is sick, and I haven't found one thing that doesn't work yet (besides the stupid data arrows, but who REALLY needs those anyway?) It's just too bad you can't get support in the thread for it here anymore, but he's easy to find if you know where to look.....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabulousnotion:
Hello everyone,

I'm not sure whether this is a stupid question or not, but here it goes: Is there a specific theme chooser that I have to install with the AOKP rom?

I just installed the AOKP milestone 4 build on my HTC EVO 4g. I keep looking in the settings area and the ROM management and the launcher management, but I cannot find any way to change my themes. I have themes downloaded, but I'm missing the connection on how to actually apply them to my phone.

Do I have to download a theme chooser like used in CM? Any direction would be amazing!

Thank you very much!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
milestone 4 did not have theme chooser. Theme chooser was introduced in the later builds
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabulousnotion:
I just have one more question to follow up to that:

Is it better to install one of the newer builds for a theme chooser? Is there a stable one aside from build 38 -- only because when reading that thread I gathered that build 38 was a little unstable. Or is there something on the market that I could install to apply themes that would work?

I guess that's more than one question.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disazter380:
Were sorta on the same boat. I just flashed aokp milestone 5 and have no idea how to theme this rom. Can someone help?

Does anyone know what the OEM battery model number is? And is it a safe assumption that the US AT&T version will have the same battery? Since I guess the only person that could open their phone and check would have the international version.

I want to get an extra battery and an external battery charger but the only ones I seem to be able to find are either 3rd party and/or seem too good to be true.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Hello, everyone

What is it that you expect from a kernel developer? Also, do any of you run gingerbread as of the moment? I only ask because I am trying to take on the task of being a new contributor to this site. I want to contribute by giving you folks kernels. I'm nowhere near done. I am learning, but I feel like I should ask this now. To reiterate, I'm a noob trying to learn, and I’m curious as to what you guys want/see.

i simply want to know what you folks see in a kernel developer, and what you expect from one. While I am typing this, I am fairly nervous of the future responses. I already understand that I violated the rules of XDA by posting this question in general. I am willing to suffer the consequences for my actions as well.

I am simply curious at what you guys think.
[HTC EVO 3D] zcink:
Wow, I think its great what you're doing. Thanks.

I'm still running GB because everything works. I guess that's what I'd want in a kernel. A kernel that will run ICS where everything works including all 3D.

Your avatar is cool.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
I think it's awesome that you're stepping up to the plate, I think you should make one to your liking 1st & then branch out from there. :)

If I could muster up the free time to study, I'd like to do the same.

[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Just be careful if you make something truly amazing.....

Just saying...
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
I'd say make stuff for you and not what other people want. If YOU want a specific feature put it in there.

The problem with making it with what other people want, is their is essentially less motivation to do it, the works harder, and you get regular users complaining about your work because it's not how "they" want it.

Enjoy your learning man!

:beer:
[HTC EVO 3D] Eternity-3D:
What chad did was this: he made a kernel the way HE wanted it. He shared it with a few others, who about 1 month later pushed him to post on xda.

Bottom line: make it the way YOU want it
[HTC EVO 3D] dougstoner:
I think most people are concerned with battery life and performance. But...like everyone said, make it how you want it. What do you want most out of your phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] gilbydakid:
I see what you did there.
[HTC EVO 3D] ace9988:
So far only two kernel's have impressed me the most.....RCMix kernels (from the desire HD days) and anthrax kernel on the 3D, nothing else has even come close to those two in my opinion.

That's what -I- expect from a kernel.....

what you give will benefit the community surely, so don't let individuals dictate development.....the developers should do that, because at the end of the day....after the dust settles and all is done, it will be the same as what we all want (apart from things like usb host), so welcome and if anybody gives you a hard time, just stick the treasured two finger salute ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
since you asked... stability. no bs that makes your phone a million times faster or adds couple megapixels to your cam while at the same time adding features that don't even work on most roms.

personally just a kernel that focuses on battery that will be awesome.

[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
If that's in reference to KlQuicksall, the only person I know that brands their kernels RCMix. He's my friend that's helping me learn kernel developing. Hahaha :-D
[HTC EVO 3D] mkokotovich:
I would agree with the consensus: make something that:

1) is reliable

2) has great battery life

3) has good performance

The order is important.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Definitely this.

Sadly most of xda do not have the same opinions for what makes a great kernel.

[HTC EVO 3D] ace9988:
hahahaha my psychic powers right there =P, now you're already my fav kernel dev on xda before you do anything =P

they were brilliant on RCmix ROMs and ARHD ROMs
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
IMO

You won't make everyone happy as the little bugs that make something work for one phone, but, borked for another.

Secondly, I prefer ICS over GB. Just preference.

However, you asked, and this is what I like:

1) Stability

2) Performance in the area of smooth graphics (choppiness sucks)

3) Battery tweaks

4) Something for GSM and CDMA users.

In that order. I don't overclock simply because it's not really needed. I run a stock speed and have smoother graphics with the LeeDroid tweaks on Booster Shot ICS than I did with LeeDroid tweaks on any overclocked GB ROM I ran. Why go 100 mph when going 70 gets you to the same destination and in roughly the same amount of time and using less gas?
[HTC EVO 3D] strykerider:
I would like to tell you something like this:

1. All things working

2. Great battery life

3. Smooth and fast

4. Compatible with both gsm and cdma.. :D

Does it look like too much request?
[HTC EVO 3D] strykerider:
Owh c'mon mate.. It's supposed to be like that, isn't it? :p :D

For Sense, you'd be looking at either Newts One XxX or Team PKMN's Venusaur Rom. If you prefer AOSP, take a look at Scott's CleanRom Dev Edition android 4.0.4 isn't ready for our device yet, so 4.0.3 is the best you'll get :p

Good luck man!

Mod edit due to ignorance & immaturity. This thread is closed until it can be reviewed & further action can be taken.

I know this affects users, and I am sorry for that, but you never see me bad mouthing anyone on the forum, but when you keep running your mouth & repeatedly have issues, you obviously are looking for a long term ban. BTW, if anyone has any evidence of me doing anything wrong, ANYTHING, forward it to MikeChannon or the Administrator. We have logs & I am confident & deliberate in all my actions. Not to mention, Synergye is the only person I can remember ever having to ban.

​Guide/Troubleshooting:

IF you run into video/music issues, your ROM is using too old of libs. Bug your ROM dev to update to latest CodeAuroraForum libs.

Before any issue will be diagnosed, Please wipe dalvik cache, and disable any app that sets scheduler or cpu frequencies.

Run Ondemand up to 1.8ghz. Above 1.8ghz scaling may make it unstable

If your device is limited at a higher clock, then it cannot handle the voltage required and the regulator is reporting an unstable voltage. THIS IS GOOD.

TO RUN 2GHZ FOR BENCHES, RUN PERFORMANCE GOV FOR BENCHES

Changelog

Look on Git until I re-do changelogs (were accidentally lost, and I just started over but got it all back up to speed (and them some) quickly.

ChangeLog From SR2.0 Forward

I fell asleep last night my badd
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] RyTheShark:
View attachment 1113640

Extremely nice!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] synergye:
Nice! I will be maintaining the rootz thread mostly, but will try and get to this thread also (won't change OP or Title here at all). I'm slowly but surely switching to Qualcomm CodeAuroraForum drivers while maintaining sense compatibility for cleaner, faster code. The test kernels will also be posted in that thread. Thank you.

Edit: If you set 2.05ghz, but your phone doesn't run up to 2.05ghz, it means that your phone can't handle the voltages on one or both cores. The performance improvement is nominal nonetheless.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] synergye:
Updated to A11. HUGE changes. Basically quite close to a CM kernel...but functional on htc roms. Big IO increases, and a TON of driver/header changes also. Just look at git to check it out (anything that says update, means update to CodeAuroraForum AOSP variant): https://github.com/TeamCodefire/KangBanged-Kernel/commits/master
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] VDubGli:
Do I have to reflash a rom after? Because I dont really want to do that. If I HAVE to i will. Thanks :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] synergye:
If you're s-off, just flaash the zip and reboot. If you're s-on, you can flash the zip by following the instructions I detail in this post: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/27167-kernel-3032-kangbang-kernel-a11-jun8-aospsense-universal-caf-drivers-uvoc/page__st__10#entry725337

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] synergye:
A11has some stability issues in sleep. Edit: A12 now up :D

Edit: A quick note: I will never include insane gpu OC, due to GPU OC doing very little in benchmarks. On a good kernel, there is no usability increase for our devices, and it barely helps in benches. Been asked a few times for insane gpu oc's, and for now the answer is no.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] chachin:
Hey bro could you be awesome and update th libs that is talking about on the list of the new A12 "IF you run into video/music issues, your ROM is using too old of libs. Bug your ROM dev to update to latest CodeAuroraForum libs." so i can use this awesome kernel.. i just wanna test the 2Ghz for a while :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] synergye:
I'll just have a separate zip soon. I could include in kernel zip, but I only want kernel to be flashed alone, and don't like the idea of a kernel modifying rom at all like another kernel on this forum does. Would prefer HTC rom cookers to just be diligent.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 8125Omnimax:
I love the fact the vivid can reach theoretical speed of up to 2ghz now, but I don't know of what application besides a benchmark app, game emulator or a heavy 3d game that it would be useful for. Battery gets eaten horribly but I like the concept a lot. May come in handy soon....

Running a test using a fully charged 1800 mah battery, don't think shadowgun can get any smoother than this. Will be following.

Working on a potential backtrack linux port in its infancy, hey it had to be done, this kernel just might be for what I'm looking for.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] synergye:
PM me, I've been working on porting debian. There's better kernel source for it.

Edit: or join #htc-holiday on irc and ping me or my cloud accuont if I'm not on.

Edit2: it would seem the vivid should be capable of 2.5GHz theoretically.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 8125Omnimax:
Will do, don't think the vivids pipes can sustain 2.5 GHz without complete thermal meltdown. What I'm looking for is a governor that behaves like Intel's c1 CPU state, not a gradual declination of cpu speeds, something that works like on demand, but increases only between four to five different speeds at the most stable known voltages. Even a toaster can run linux, but the CPU doesn't have to be at 2ghz all the time, only for those "special" calculations.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] synergye:
Believe me I understand that, and it's quite easy to set up something like that with interactive, or even by modifying ondemand. The issue is heat throttling with 2GHz stable.

In any case,

New Beta1-Test1 uploaded from totally re-doing kernel from closer to the beginning(rebased and cherry-picked from my own repo). There were just too many issues I'd run into on sense, and I knew what really affected performance positively I wanted to keep. Left a lot of the driver changes (not base changes) out for now until I can do proper testing. At this point I'm close to 50 hours no sleep, so just leaving the kernels up. I'll be doing a gitlog off the master branch, and separating for the build changelogs. Look at git (new default branch) if you really want to see what all's been done, or look at master to get a sense of what was done recently for A14

I was able to finally able to clean it up enough to use the linaro 4.7 o3 flag :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] synergye:
AR15 uploaded (changed naming scheme from Alpha to Alpha Release). More stable than beta1-test1, lots of issues from A14 and earlier fixed in this re-tooling. Fast charge added back *properly* this time. PLEASE wipe dalvik cache after flash for good battery life. Battery usage should be the same as dumpsta's screenshot in this release.

Enjoy!

Edit: okay, this one only works on rom ports also. Goddammit HTC, learn to ****ing standardize your compilations a bit!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
There as to be a way to get xz compression to work. EVO was stock gzip just like vivid I believe. Xz also works on sensation which is stock gzip. Ive been trying to wrap my head around it.

I can compile with -O3 but the zimage is to big :/ turning everything possible into modules first help on size either sadly.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] synergye:
Well, I decided to drop support for any holiday based rom. No reason not to use coredroid port, virtuous, or another rom base from another device. HTC ****ed us and we can't use new adreno libs, ksm, new video/media/gpu kernel drivers or xz compression on this base.

I don't want to let a ****ty rom base slow down kernel development.
